Marvel's The Defenders: Ranking Every Episode From Worst To Best

7. Episode 3: Worst Behavior

The One Where: Elektra's resurrection and relationship with Alexandra is explained. Jessica discovers Matt's secret and Luke and Danny are brought together by Claire. The foursome eventually team up at Midland Circle. Cue hallway fight sequence.

Verdict: Episode 3 is definitely a step-up from episode 2. By the end of the episode, the Defenders have finally got together and the team-up we thought was going to happen from episode 1 is at last in gear. Before that, the meetings between Matt/Jessica and Luke/Danny are great fun.

Still, while parts of Elektra's story are interesting and Sigourney Weaver is immaculate as always, the Hand stuff is still not coming to life (ironically, for an organisation that can't die). Overall, like the previous episodes, it still feels like four shows bolted together than blended together, though this will be fixed going forward.
