Shows that feel likeMarvel's Iron Fist (2017–2018)

Danny Rand resurfaces 15 years after being presumed dead. Now, with the power of the Iron Fist, he seeks to reclaim his past and fulfill his destiny.

If you loved Marvel's Iron Fist, the closest series we have are Marvel's Runaways (2017), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013) and The Gifted (2017). All three share Marvel's Iron Fist's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Marvel's The Defenders (2017).
