Is it totally entirely necessary to watch all the defenders shows to understand the defenders TV show

I just really want to watch DareDevil season 3 man but like I don't understand how we went from dd telling Karen his identity to a fucking vuilding collapsing on him,I want to get through the defenders as quickly as possible so is it really necessary to watch all their shows or can I just hop in see daredevil hop out??

Not necessary to watch any of them except daredevil

Meizas2026-01-18 04:33

But it's more rewarding if you do, because it's like watching Avengers without watching their movies

neeesus2026-01-18 04:35

No. No one should try iron fist

Meizas2026-01-18 05:07

That's fair, lol - Season 2 IS better, though.

neeesus2026-01-18 05:47

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah it’s objectively better. But no way i was going to put time into it

tyderian2026-01-18 07:02

Tom Pelphry was awesome though

Demitel2026-01-18 08:18

He was, but man, the rest of season 1 was such a slog.

NicoleIlieva2026-01-18 14:13

They should try it if they want to.

neeesus2026-01-18 15:33

I don’t like giving out bad advice.

NicoleIlieva2026-01-18 15:43

I wouldn't say you were giving out "good" advice.

Defenders wasn’t very good though, it’s like getting sprinkles on your dog shit ice cream cone. Daredevil season 3 is incredible though

CaptGatoroo2026-01-18 04:32

Might be worth watching Jessica Jones at least. Purple man was one of Marvels best villains

Gilded-Mongoose2026-01-18 04:33

I skipped it and outside of DD, I only saw most of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

Understood DD3 just fine - didn't feel like I was missing much context that wasn't insinuated throughout the series.

neeesus2026-01-18 04:35

Daredevil. Luke cage. Jessica jones season 1.

All enjoyable

Tityfan8082026-01-18 04:37

Just watch a recap at least of the defenders and watch season 3 of daredevil. Daredevil s3 doesn’t really require you to watch that anyways

The-Bytemaster2026-01-18 04:37

From a cinematography point of view, I thought they did an amazing thing with Defenders. Each of the series had its own style and color grading and you see them slowly merge together in The Defenders.

WD_G2026-01-18 04:37

Just watch Daredevil, and then only Season 1 of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage

Throwupmyhands2026-01-18 04:38

You don’t need to watch any of them. Iron Fist s1 is probably the one with the story most closely linked to the Defenders. But you can skip it.

bangarang902102026-01-18 04:46

I highly recommend JJ and the first 2/3 of Luke Cage. If you are really pressed for time, at least watch a YouTube recap of them.

Volta12282026-01-18 04:50

Not really necessary; you can get the main story without having watched the other shows, especially since DD season 3 is frigging spectacular IMO, no need to go on a quest watching 3 other shows before you get to it.

eagc72026-01-18 04:53

Just watch a recap for Jessica Jones S1, Luke Cage S1 and Iron Fist S1

Scary-Command22322026-01-18 05:45

No it isnt. I first watched Defenders after DD2 and had no problems understanding it.

Uncanny_Doom2026-01-18 06:09

No. You only really have to have seen Daredevil Season 2 in order to follow what's going on.

DratiniMaster232026-01-18 06:49

No it’s not necessary but will make the shower better. For DD season 3, I look at Defenders as DD season 2.5, so you can really just watch it without watching the other shows.

As others have said, watching Jessica Jones season 1 and Luke Cage season isn’t a bad idea. Jessica Jones in particular is a pretty special show

DMN6662026-01-18 07:53

JUST SAYIN

I only got into the MCU because of the Defender saga. I enjoyed all of them, yes even Danny “The Immortal Iron Fist, protector of Kun Lun, sworn enemy of the hand” Rand’s show.

Yes if you want to get the full context of The Defenders mini series, you have to watch the other shows before it (A total of 5 seasons), it's why all 4 of those main characters are the team.

If you really just want to get to S3 of Daredevil, watch both seasons and I think the last two episodes of The Defenders as S3 follows up after the events of the crossover.

If its for context of The Defenders:

DD S1 -> JJ S1 -> DD S2 -> LC S1 -> IF S1 -> Defenders -> DD S3

If just for Daredevil:

DD S1 -> DD S2 -> Defenders (last 2 ep) -> DDS3.

You gotta watch them all, and you should throw in all seven seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as penance... ;\^p

Jenkes_of_Wolverton2026-01-18 09:28

If you have already seen the s1 and s2 of DD you will have experience of the importance to Matt of Elektra, Stick and the Hand. You can understand them all a lot better if you also watched s1 of Iron-Fist and Defenders. But I suppose you could grasp most of the plot from the Wikipedia page if you don't have access to Disney Plus and your schedule cannot fit in a few more episodes.

MethodFantastic46292026-01-18 17:47

I watched Defenders without seeing any of the other shows and I relatively understood it pretty well
