in short the pacing of each episode and the season as a whole is all wrong.
wasting too much time to getting to the point, next to no fight scenes comparing to other shows like this in the season.
all fights and action filled scenes are over all too quickly.
a character and actor that was lovable in Jessica Jones is now in need of a bitch slap most of the season.
its sad really, you have a powerful character that can slap everyone out in this show. yet he uses most of his time (the little we see of him sometimes) feeling sad for those around him and himself instead of take action.

while the comic characters history has alot to do with the subject of race and color.
bringing all of this into a series in a ham-fisted way isnt the way to go.

most of the time me and my friend was watching this we where wanting more action, more of the main character and more of a villan that we care about.
when i can say with good heart that daredevil and any comic show out now beats this by miles and miles.

when the pacing is so off that you think you are watching a double episode but its really just a 40min one then its something wrong.
when you feel like this episode takes forever to be done then its something wrong.

i watch all the comic shows out and i love them all (except this and agents of shield)
its sad really, as i LOVED his character in Jessica Jones.

I think your analysis is partially accurate. However, I would not call anything about the implementation "ham-fisted". The lack of action that you cite as a weakness is one hint that the show is more subtle than the other entries in the "Defenders" universe so far. This show does take longer to develop things than in other series, but I felt that a weakness of Daredevil Season 2 was the opposite: too much action and not enough development of the plot and characters.
