MARVEL'S IRON FIST By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. The Marvel collection of Netflix superhero series began powerfully with Jessica Jones and Daredevil, and dimmed a bit with Luke Cage – but this latest effort, the last entry in this group before the individual heroes combine for a Netflix version of The Avengers, is the first true disappointment. Its hero may pack a punch, but the show does not.

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

This isn’t an advancement of the current competition – it’s a highlights special thrown onto the schedule as counter-programming against opening night of the NCAA college men’s basketball tournament. But if you’re not into basketball, and you haven’t watched The Voice this cycle, this is a fine way to spend some TV time tonight.
