If there's one major criticism we've heard about every single one of Marvel's TV shows on Netflix, it's that thirteen episodes are often a good three episodes too many. Regardless of whether we're talking about Daredevil or Luke Cage, filler episodes have dragged stories out far too long and led to lulls in each season which could be eliminated with a shorter episode count and more concise storytelling.
Well, it appears as if Netflix has learned from past mistakes with Iron Fist because the titles of each episode have been revealed and there's only ten of them! The show's Facebook page also confirmed that it will have a shorter run in a reply to a fan who pointed out there was only ten episodes rather than the normal thirteen. Whether or not this will now be the case for every Marvel show is unclear.
It does make a lot of sense with Iron Fist, though, as Marvel and Netflix will have been able to save millions of dollars by getting rid of those three hours and that's a smart move for a show which had such a poorly received first season.
