I just finished it. I enjoyed it overall but I agree there are some issues. They took a bit too long to have the Defenders Assemble, half the season really, was just like jumping between their solo shows. Not enough group fight scenes IMO.
Secondly is that their powers are often so inconsistent? For one... Danny should be able to take both DD and Elektra (and any single Hand boss) solo without too much problem. They've really under-powered Iron Fist. Also if a shotgun blast can cause a bleed on the brain for Luke Cage as it did in JJ... then a full on Chi punch from Iron Fist shouldn't just hurt - it should easily knock him clean out. In fact a Cage vs Danny match should be pretty one sided... Luke is fairly slow and shouldn't even be able to land a hit on Danny, who should then only need to hit him once.
Then there's Jessica and Luke themselves - their strength varies. A lot. Sometimes Jessica seems to be only "rly strong" like maybe as strong as 5 people combined. Other times she can throw things through walls, drag cars around like cardboard, or... hold up an elevator that must weight several tonnes. With one hand. Also she doesn't have any martial arts training and isn't made out of rocks like Luke, sooo she should be sort of screwed against any trained Hand thug?
Story and character wise I did enjoy it though. It COULD signal a better Iron Fist if they do another as one of the most irritating things about him has been his "one track" mission and his overly-emotional involvement with it. Although I doubt The Hand is totally gone, taking them out of play for a while could allow the character to grow. Also a good set up for a different sort of Daredevil series, which is good, as his "not sure if I want to be daredevil or lawyer waaah" was getting old by S2.
