The Defenders

Four New Yorkers who have spent their own series avoiding each other end up in the same building against the same enemy, and get on badly.

Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Danny Rand each arrive at the Hand from their own direction, and the miniseries is at its best in the middle stretch where the four of them are in a room being irritated by each other. The casting does the work that the plot does not.

It is eight episodes, it assumes all four of the preceding series, and it is the closest the Marvel Television era came to its own Avengers.
