Yeah, the whole 'end of episode cliffhanger' technique is probably slightly less relevant in the age of binge watching. It is something that I noticed was slightly too forced but I can't say it bothered me. I'd agree with your fight scene analysis. There were definitely some points where camera cuts or stunt work took me out of the action. Especially after watching the 'Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy' video that Every Frame a Painting did and the section in it about conveying the force of a hit. The sound (and music) was generally pretty great though. I also agree with your opinion on Stick. I think it relates to your point on things happening just to advance plot. He seems to be a character that just drives plot development. Outside of that he seems to have little history, backstory, world involvement. He just turns up when things go to shit or preempts things going shit. Have you watched Jessica Jones? I've asked a few people and read opinions and it seems the general consensus is JJ is the superior show. I'm not sure I agree. I'd be interested to hear your take.
You should post that Jackie Chan video onto global. A lot of people could really appreciate it. Jessica Jones is something completely different, both in story telling and in feel. Pacing wise, it was kind of a slow burn. For the most part, it seemed to fit the tone of the show. It's more of a thriller/mystery than a beat-em up action fest so any sense of urgency would need to fit the situation for fear of it being forced. There are a few episodes where I did feel like the story was being dragged out a bit, because of the pacing. I didn't enjoy the series as much as Daredevil, as it's not really my kind of story, but overall I think it was alright. If I had to say one thing definitely, I think they did a wonderful job with the character Nuke. In the comics, he's a bit over the top and I don't think it would have fit the series by being a direct translation. By toning him down a bit, he became much more realistic.
