Marvel's The Defenders (2017)

Marvel's The Defenders Short Brief

Marvel's The Defenders is a 2017 Netflix miniseries that brings together four street-level heroes from the Marvel universe: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Set in New York City, the series follows these heroes as they team up to combat a powerful criminal organization known as The Hand, a threat each of them had faced in their individual shows. Despite their different personalities and methods, they must learn to work together to save the city from destruction. The show is a culmination of the separate Marvel Netflix series, blending action, drama, and comic book lore, with a darker, grittier tone compared to other Marvel properties. While The Defenders was praised for the chemistry between the main characters, it was also criticized for pacing issues, but remains a key part of the Marvel TV universe.
