>>94659165Okay here's my take on the quality. It was a train wreck because as the series went on, I got invested in the wrong people. I cared about Danny Rand exponentially as the series went on, as well as any woman he got near.
Now Meechum and son, I couldn't turn away from that shit. That whole family looked like they walked into the wrong show. It was filled with overwrought drama and illogical decisions, like a season of Dallas. And yet I was invested in that shit. Way more than I should have been.
Ward Meachum was clearly set up to be an unlikeable asshole and his sister was set up as an end-game love interest, but Ward was the only one who was a consistent source of sanity. He just wanted to keep his sister safe and run the family company -- a place that employed hundreds of people. Throughout the show he has to deal with a homicidal dad, a kung fu hobo becomes his boss, a sister who is dumber than a box of rocks, and a drug addiction.
He didn't ask for that kind of life, and no one normal is equipped to deal with that madness. But the fucker did his best through all of it. He's the real hero of the show, and I'll fight anyone who says different.
