I think Netflix is diluting the quality of their original content in the race of creating more and more minutes. Initial Netflix offerings like House of Cards were awesome, it has gone downhill since then. The Marvel offerings are awfully slow paced and boring (except maybe season one of Daredevil). I've been on the verge of cancelling my Netflix subscription recently and will probably do unless they significantly improve their original content.

I disagree with your assessment of the pacing of the other Marvel shows... not the slow part, they are slow, but that it's boring. I watched "Iron Fist" over the last several days and I found the pacing refreshing. It was very much character-driven, rather than action driven, but there were all kinds of twists and turns that kept it from being boring. Ditto for "Luke Cage" which I'm partway through.

Yes, I loved the first season of Daredevil, too, especially with its more Hong Kong style fight scenes, whereas Iron Fist's were more of the up-close quick-edit American style, but it was a really good show nonetheless.
