There's easy potential for them to "fix" the character TBH - just have the events of The Defenders and his interactions with DD, JJ and Cage (who are all very different), and learning about their experiences, have a large impact on him / his outlook and philosophies. Then you can have him be quite different in S2 with a ready-made explanation.
I also think the series wasn't action-focused enough for the character. It seems to be more in tune with Jessica Jones and Luke Cage which focused more on other aspects of the story with the action being less at the front. The difference being that (IMO) the Jessica Jones storyline was darkly compelling and Luke Cage's (for MOST of it) was an intriguing character drama. But does ANYONE give a **** about Rand Enterprises? Or find the Meachum family drama in any way interesting? I don't think so! It needs to be more like DareDevil which strikes a more 50/50 balance. Still plenty of story focus but a lot of action in the majority of episodes, too. Give it a better fights / stunts budget, get in a skilled stunt double for Danny and give us more martial arts ass kickery

. The best action scenes of this series (if far fetched...) have been Colleen Wing's cage fights
