In the last episode Luke and Iron Fist finally had a sit down as did Jessica and Daredevil so maybe they are going to team up and be on the screen more as a group. That would definitely help.

I'm going to hang with it a few episodes and will let you know. Finish up Daredevil. The Season two ending is great.
That sounds like a lot of my issues with team comics in general: not enough time to focus on the actual characters so everything often feels flat and boring. Watchmen is not a good representation of team books in general, as it is masterfully written and not really about any team, whereas any given Justice League book is probably not going to be written by a genius like Alan Moore.

And I have no good reason for not finishing DD season 2. The Punisher arc was amazing and I'm totally into seeing how they handled Elektra. BTW if you're ever interested in more comics then I highly rec Elektra's solo mini-series from the 80s, Elektra: Assassin. It's pretty ****ing cool, surreal, and bat**** insane. I actually went out of my way to collect all six vintage issues because it was too cool to not do so.
