Did you know

• In the first few episodes, the production uses colored light to great effect to separate out each individual Defender story. Each scene involving Daredevil has a hint of red. Jessica Jones is lit with purple. Iron Fist with green and Luke Cage is lit in shades of yellow. As the series progresses and the Defenders become aligned, the four colors eventually turn into more neutral whites and blues.

• In this series, the founding members of the Defenders are Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. In the comics, the Defenders were formed by The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, and Namor the Sub-Mariner.

• The last shot of Danny Rand features him crouched on a rooftop overlooking the city, apparently fulfilling Daredevil's request to keep his city safe. In the comics, Danny became Daredevil to help fool the world after Matt's secret identity was outed.
