I highly recommend avoiding both Iron Fist and The Defenders and watching all of S2 JJ immediately.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I like that answer.

Was Sigourney Weaver not worth watching The Defenders for?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I watched the first episode of The Defenders and there was waaaaaay too much of that Iron Fist dude, whose utter lack of screen presence is some kind of a superpower, fer serious. Every time he was on screen, I'd just zone out. I was theoretically interested in the rest of the team, but was left with little desire to continue on.
Glad to hear I don't need to have watched it to grok JJ S2!

Sadly, no, because her character wouldn't shut up about the Iron fucking Fist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If you can stick with it, everyone else on The Defenders considers Iron Fist a pain in the ass. He gets hit a lot.
The relationship between Matt and Jessica is great. But I wouldn't argue that The Defenders is can't-miss.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Soooooo, SHIELD's 100th episode was...kind of crap, yeah? Like, that was real slow, and while stuff happened, I guess, it was pretty much all predictable (like, I called Deek's parentage more or less immediately when he made reference to his dad, just a generation off).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Which is fair. With this show, in articular, I tend to do well at predictions.
The issue was more that the ep just felt really slow. There were a number of scenes that could have been 25% shorter without really losing anything.

I really liked this episode.
