It’s when it tries to be grown-up and deep that Daredevil is unmasked in all its shallowness. Cox and D’Onofrio have crackling chemistry, but Daredevil is ultimately not daring enough to do justice to their electrifying performances.

It's clear that Born Again season 2 is still recovering from the breeched delivery of the first, meaning it has to juggle its underbaked original elements with reincorporating (or giving closure to) those of the Netflix era. By the end of its deflating finale, there is a sense that the most painful hours of labour might be over.

While Daredevil: Born Again continues to be a watchable Marvel series with good performances, your enjoyment of the show may depend on how close you feel Fisk’s New York is to what is going on in real life.

In the end, as “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2 mirrors our current fascist moment while hinting at triumph, its restrictive character writing and dull, self-contained storytelling result in a middling, slow-building season—one that feels more promising for what’s on the horizon than what it delivers now.

Even setting aside a finale that may go down as one of the most misguided sequences in the entire MCU, season 2 can't help but feel like a crushing disappointment. It's a shame, too, because there's still so much to enjoy.
