Iron Fist Is The Second Biggest Marvel Netflix Premiere

Marvel’s Iron Fist may not have gone over well with critics, but fans can’t seem to get enough.

According to a report by Parrot Analytics, Marvel’s Iron Fist is the second-biggest debut for a Marvel series on Netflix so far, performing better than both Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones in the first week it was available to stream. Iron Fist falls just short of Marvel’s Luke Cage, which was Marvel’s best debut to date.

It should be noted that Parrot Analytics is a third party industry analyst and that these metrics are not endorsed by Netflix. Netflix does not share its viewership numbers publically. Parrot Analytics tracks viewership by considering P2P-sharing, video streams, social trends and other factors, and maintains that it can separate negative social reaction from positive reactions so as not to allow a strongly negative reaction to throw their analysis off track.

Parrot Analytics’ findings seem to match ComicBook.com’s User Ratings, which shows Marvel’s Iron Fist as the second-best rated of Marvel’s Netflix series among ComicBook.com readers, scoring 3.94 out of 5 and falling just behind Marvel’s Daredevil.

Marvel’s Iron Fist will lead into Marvel’s The Defenders crossover miniseries, which will debut on Netflix later this year.
