Hostage

After a convenience store robbery goes wrong, the villains take a family hostage in their own home. Unfortunately, the family has secrets that will create a nightmare for all involved. The twist on the hostage drama started out good, but it fell apart in the end when it got completely unbelievable.

Mediocre as Hallmark Christmas movies go. No real chemistry between the main couple nor urgency to the plot. I did enjoy the fact that there was just one couple (estranged) so no side villains to keep an eye on. It was definitely going for a Chip & Joanna "Fixer Upper" vibe with their main cast, who started their own company. Held my attention while working, but wasn't anything special.

Rand vs. Hand
This show isn't nearly as bad as I had heard. It does have its moments, though.

Throughout the season, Danny Rand swings between two opposing mentalities. He's either moving forward in self-righteous pursuit (one born of being the Iron Fist) or wracked by crippling doubt (which happens whenever he's proven, or told, that he is wrong). That, combined with a shell game of villains, makes this show a little more difficult than the others (Netflix/MARVEL) to concentrate on. I found myself easily distracted while viewing at times.


On the plus side, the action was decent. The villains were good, as numerous as they were (it's almost like they took their turns), and even some of the featured Hand fighters offered promise. There were a couple that I wished had bigger roles than just set-piece obstacles.


All in all, it was entertaining. Hopefully a second season will offer a more captivating story.
