	Author	Review
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"It’s poorly paced, and takes far too long for the heroes to team up (...) They lack chemistry as a group (...) [It] will likely please devoted Marvel fans who merely want to see these four in the same room (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"There is enough joy in watching the sparks fly to make you feel it might just have been worth the wait (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Huw Fullerton Radio Times	"While there are some fun moments and decent action scenes, a lot of the dialogue appears to have been borrowed from a cheesy 90s cop movie"	NEU
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"The first episode (...) offered dedicated fans lots of face-to-face encounters between their favorite characters from across all four shows (...) Marvel has built something unprecedented."	POS
United States	Alexander Zalben TV Guide	"The episodes build, and build, getting faster, funnier and better as they go. If that continues in the back half, 'Defenders' is going to be one hell of a ride."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"A workmanlike series that gets the job done with a reasonable amount of energy and a few bursts of flair (...) [It] has notable selling points, chief among them an elegant and fierce performance from Sigourney Weaver."	POS
United States	Danette Chavez AV Club	"'The Defenders' runs leaner and meaner (...) than any other Netflix Marvel show (...) The Defenders shine as a team and as individuals"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"Weaver is the best part of 'The Defenders' (...) A little clunky at times, but otherwise all is well here, thanks especially to Alexandra (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"Each character gets a concise, emotionally resonant individual arc (...) The images are sharper and more inspired, the dialogue is wittier, and the pace is breezier than the usual Marvel-Netflix escapade."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"You don’t have to do homework to enjoy 'Marvel’s The Defenders', a nicely crafted series (...) Weaver is great fun to watch (...) The first four of the series’ eight episodes are enjoyable"	POS
