At this time I would recommend you just skip to Defenders if you haven't seen it already. Unless your just that curious I don't think trying to watch Iron Fist now is really worth the effort.
Just checked out the first episode. I thought it was pretty solid. Not quite sold on a certain character's heel turn from s1, but eh, will see how it plays out. One thing that I did notice right at the end is that
Spoiler:
Danny delivered like 14 shots with the IF in a row without looking at all juiced out. I mean yes, they weren't as powerful as he can go, but he was using the IF for more powerful shots in the opening fight (smashing the front of the truck and then the groundpound shockwave punch) as well without issues. Seems his stamina with the IF has increased considerably.

Ah....well I stand corrected. Wow this wasn't promoted much at all.
No. And based on the first episode, I can understand why. Same problems, still haven't been fixed. I'll probably watch it for the women, though. For some reason, while IF has been cursed with an inability to create convincing or exciting fighting scenes, it excels at casting strong, badass women and I doubt Alice Eve will disappoint.
I'm about an episode or two from being done. Someone finally told Finn Jones to move like a human instead of an animatronic hu-man. So right there the whole season is way better.
He still looks wooden at times but it's night and day from even Defenders. They should redo that drunken fight with human being Finn now.
Two more to go. Been solid overall, but not one of Netflix MCU's best. Danny looks way better in his fight scenes than in any previous appearance IMO, but is still kind of a blundering moron in a lot of other regards. I will admit that his control over his emotions/maturity has also improved, but some of the decisions he makes/actions he chooses to take is just like, "Why? Why would you think this is a good idea? What's wrong with you?"

So was IF S2 as bad as JJ S2?
I personally found IF s2 considerably more enjoyable than JJ s2. But that's just me. It's by no means perfect, but it's a considerable improvement over s1 IMO. There is also less filler than a lot of MCU Netflix shows tend to have because of the shorter season length.
