    I love Netflix's version of Daredevil! The second season is not as good as the first, but it's okay.

    Starts off very strong but as soon as Episode 5 starts, the season falls apart. The trio doing legal stuff and anything dealing with The Punisher and Wilson Fisk is really good but Matt and Elektra's story which dominates Season 2 is really boring and dumb.

    I think they put two seasons together here. It’s a good season overall but this feels like they were setting up the Punisher for his own show. He’s a complicated villain but also you can argue he was a complicated hero. He’s on the same side as Matt but his actions are villainous.

    They’re also setting up the Defenders as well cause they didn’t finish some of the stories they had going.    I think they put two seasons together here.

    I’m going to give this a good score but the best villain is Fist and having him caged away not out doing whatever he wants is to the detriment of the show. Still a must watch series but hasn’t hit the heights we know it could with this season.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Daredevil season 2 is almost as good as season 1 was. The acting, action and dialogue remain just as strong as they were in the first season. The story and villain are where this season falters a bit from season 1. In season 2, the story gets more complicated since there are multiple plotlines going on and it can be a bit difficult to keep track of everything once the season really gets going. The season manages to balance these plotlines decently enough, but it can get confusing at times. The bigger issue with this season is the villain. Unlike season 1, Fisk isn’t the primary villain this time, although he does appear in the season. Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle is a bit of a villain, but the true antagonist is the organization called The Hand. Bernthal does a fine job portraying Castle and embodies the violent nature of the character very well. While Castle starts off as the show’s villain, he becomes overshadowed by The Hand. Unfortunately, neither villain lives up to the bar set by Fisk, causing season 2 to feel like a bit of a letdown from season 1 despite The Hand being a better antagonist than Castle is. The season mostly recovers from this and gives us an ending that nicely culminates all the plotlines and lays the foundation for future storytelling and development. DD season 2 may not be as good as season 1 is, but it still has its merits and is worth watching if you’re a fan of the character.… Expand

    Another amazing season. Jon Bernthal is such a good Punisher that I simply cannot imagine anyone else playing this role. Same thing with Charlie Cox as Daredevil.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah, for me it wasn't as good as season 1. This one just felt, I don't know, a little messier maybe? I mean it's still really good but I don't believe it reaches the highs of season 1. It definitely tried to do a lot more than its predecessor and because of that, I believe it backed itself into a corner and overstuffed itself. This season has a god number of plots going on all at once, it has the whole thing with the Hand, it has Elektra coming in, it has the Wilson Fisk tiny subplot, everything with the Punisher and the blacksmith and I just think that it tried to do way too much for a single Daredevil season. The Hand stuff was obviously to set up for The Defenders and everything with the Punisher, while being the best part of the season, was obviously there to set him up for his own spinoff show. It felt like when Age of Ultron stuffed in a bunch of random subplots to set the MCU up for Infinity War and other movies and it ended up feeling unnecessary and unnatural. Daredevil does hand it better than Avengers but without a doubt, I think it ends up becoming jumbled around because of everything going on at once. I preferred the much smaller scale and much more personal first season which mainly focused on just Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, which is what I think a Daredevil solo show should mainly do - save that bigger scale stuff for The Defenders team up. This season also felt like it dearly missed Kingpin, Nobu isn't anywhere near as good of a villain as Fisk and the Hand, while a serious threat, felt sort of out of place in this story, which honestly should've just focused on Fisk again because him being the main villain is where Daredevil shines the most, he's just that good. The few episodes where Fisk does appear were for sure my favourites this season and I think it just further emphasised the huge gap he was leaving while he wasn't the main antagonist. There was a lot of good this season however. Jon Bernthal as the Punisher was absolutely phenomenal and a great example of a perfect casting. Punisher's subplot and his relationship with both Karen and Daredevil was fantastic and so well done. As I said, the more personal side of the show is where it shines and Punisher definitely brings that aspect to the table this season. Not only does he have his own side plot that's by far the strongest, he also brings out a moral dilemma in Daredevil on the whole no killing rule. Their two ideologies clash throughout the season and it brings a great back and fourth dynamic between the two characters as well as being a more mental challenge for Matt to face as well as the more physically taxing obstacle that the Hand puts in his way. Elektra was great too, her relationship with Matt was really well done and takes his moral dilemma even further. It also means that this season we get to explore Matt's past a little more, with both Stick and Elektra as well as Foggy. This seasons' strongest parts were when it chose to focus on Matt and the personal challenges he faces rather than the bigger picture threats that honestly should've just been lightly teased and saved for The Defenders. Punisher alone would've made a great antihero antagonist for Daredevil to overcome and if the show would've just paired Punisher's storyline alongside Kingpin's, they could've crafted something a little less messy and more personal to Matt. In my opinion, I think that's what would've made season 2 better than the first for me. Although some prefer the bigger scale more comic book-y stuff so this is really more just personal preference, I just would've rather had them cut down on a lot of stuff and has them focus more closely on just Matt and Frank with Wilson Fisk working from the shadows in prison. But oh well, I am looking forward to seeing what they've done in season 3 since I've heard that it's less of this season and more of the first, so I'm really excited for that when I get around to it. I did really like the suit this season though, that and the fact that Daredevil's billy club shows up finally is fantastic and it's the comic book stuff I really like to see. All that's left is for Fisk to return with his classic white suit and I'll be happy with that and a more personal story for season 3. Super excited. Overall, season 2 is still good it just chooses to focus too much on bigger picture stuff and tries to do too much to the point where the season feels cluttered up. However, the smaller scale stuff this season was fantastic and the way they handled Frank Castle and Elektra as well as their relationships with Matt was really great. I like this season, it's just a little below the first for me. Still great though, and miles ahead of a lot of other superhero shows I've seen before.

    Starting the new season with a bang to the head. I love they introduce Frank Castle aka The Punisher on Daredevil just like the comics. After 5 episodes, Elektra come along in the series and then everything felt a little flat after that but got a lot better in the last 3 episodes. I highly recommended you try this season.

    For many people the second season was a step back, for me it wasn't it was actually better.
    Not only did they deepen in The Hand but the inclusion of Elektra and The Punisher were excellent achievements for the series.

    More action, more violence, more emotion, certainly was a great season.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With the introduction of fellow vigilantes Frank Castle and Elektra (characters that will be well known to comic book fans) alongside the multiple plot threads that run throughout these thirteen episodes there was a danger that Daredevil's second season could have been a bit of a mess. Fortunately however that is far from being the case and the writers have done a great job of juggling each story-line as well as fully developing the each of the characters. The action scenes, although perhaps too violent for some, are also excellent and just as good as anything you'll see on the big screen (the fight with the biker gang in the stairwell was just phenomenal).

    While Murdock plays dress up, The Punisher, Elektra and Stick get the job done. Wilson Fisk and all other characters are far more interesting and charismatic than the Daredevil. This season is better than the first season but Murdock-Daredevil belong on a PG rated TV show.

    That may sound scathing, but this season actually has a lot going for it.The entire Punisher story line was rock solid and was worth the watch alone. This character knows exactly who he is and never feels forced to be anything else. The Elektra story line starts out the same way but gets bogged down along the way. Hopefully her character can be redeemed in the future as there is great potential there that wasn't realized. The action is also first rate but gets stale when you always know what is going to happen next.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not sure whether I like season 2 of Daredevil more than the first season or not. There are so many great moments scatted through these 13 episodes. Some of the scenes in this show are so well executed and when this show is its best I think its is probably the best thing Marvel studio has done. Daredevil continues to have great action with well realistic stunts. The Punisher proved to be a great addition and Jon Bernthal gave us the defining portrayal of the character to this point. I found myself completely consumed by Frank Castle and Karen Page, who are my two favorite characters in the show currently. I know some people don't like Foggy Nelson but I find him to be a very enjoyable character as well. The character is meant to represent us. The one big issue I have with this season is that when Wilson Fisk shows up from episode 8-10 the show is really elevated and those episodes are the best of the season. It made me feel like the last few episodes were a little less superior and even though the finale was good I don't think it was better than the first season's finale. The Defenders series will likely be released before we get a season 3 of Daredevil but this show managed to live up to the hype. I hope they can get Wilson Fisk more involved again in Season 3.… Expand

    Firstly the whole thing really does just feel like a cock-tease for The Punisher, which isn't really that bad because the show really does an excellent job at setting up the character and really making you feel for such a broken character. But it all does just feel like a set up.

    My biggest complaint really with this season though is just the whole Electra story-line that really does become the meat of the seasons. Its incredibly slow, sluggish and just gets in the way of the whole Punisher story-line that was just much more exciting and interesting to watch. But otherwise I really did enjoy Electra as a character, the actor was absolutely fantastic, sadly the writing and set up just didn't really pay off for this season.

    I also really wish this season had more religious aspects to it, much like in the first, and really focused more on the eternal struggle of Matt Murdock being pushed to the limit, especially with the likes of the Punisher, I also really wish the story took more time to develop with slowly build up instead of feeling like it had to rush through all these plot points. Like more character dynamic and focus would have been nice.

    But overall its a great show, I highly recommend watching the second season because it is still superb tv and hopefully the next season will basically solve all my issues. Can't wait for the net season.    … Expand

Birisi Punisher'ın hikâyesi, diğeri ise Elektra ve Elektrayı ilgilendiren Kara Gök ismini verebileceğim bir hikâye.
    Sezonu gömmeden önce sevdiğim yanlarından bahsedeyim. Başta Jon Bernthal'ın oynadığı "Punisher"ı gerçekten çok sevdim. Açıkçası sezonun baştan sona kadar Punisher ile alakalı olmasını isterdim fakat bu seferde uzun olmaması gereken bir konu fazla uzatılmış olurdu. Bu sebepten ilk 4 bölüm Punisher'ı izlerken 5. bölüm ve sonrasında Elektrayı izliyoruz. Sezonumuzun fanservisi olan Elektrayı.
    Elektrayı bir kenara atarsak -ondan özel olarak bahsedeceğim- bu sezondaki Daredevil'ı da daha çok sevdim. Karakterinin geliştiğini net bir şekilde görebiliyoruz. Açıkçası yeteneklerininde geliştiğini söylemek isterdim fakat bu sezondaki dövüş koreografileri ilk sezona kıyasla gayet sıradan. Birbini tekrar eden dövüş sahnelerini görmek bir hayli mümkün ve hiçbir dövüş sahnesi ilk sezonun 2.bölümündeki etkiyi vermiyor. Her ne kadar Oldboy filmindeki kadar iyi bir tek çekim dövüş sahnesi olmasa da bu konuda 2.olmaya adaydı. Bu sezonda da tek çekimmiş gibi gösterilmeye çalışılan bir sahne vardı fakat oldukça sıradandı. Açıkçası bu sahnede sıkıldım.
    Gelelim Elektraya, sezonumuzu mahveden karaktere. Tek kelimeyle özetliyecek olsam yapmacık derdim fakat yapmacık demek yetersiz kalır. Çünkü hikâyeyi mahvediyor. İlk önce diziye büyük bir klişe ile dahil oluyor. "Hikâyeye bir kadın girer, ana karakterin ilişkilerini alt üst eder." Diziye bu şekilde dahil olduktan sonra sıradan planlar ve dövüş sahneleri de birbirini takip ederken düşündüğüm tek şey "Punisher biraz daha gözüksün." oldu. Punisher'ın hikâyesi de bir yandan ilerliyor fakat ufak ufak. Ufakta olsa sezonu çekilebilir bir hale getiriyor çünkü Elektra gerçekten vasat bir karakter olmuş. Kendinden çok daha fazla güçlü olan Daredevil'dan dayağı yedikten sonra başka bir bölümde Daredevil'a "Çekil yoksa seni de öldürürüm." demesi oldukça komikti. Ayrıca şunu açıkca söyleyebilirim ki dizinin son bir kaç bölümüne kadar Elektra sahnelerini atlarsanız hiçbir kaybınız olmaz. Çünkü Elektra romantizm ve fanservis katmaktan öteye gidemiyor. Çocukça ben kötüyüm tavırlarını takınırken, bir yandan da iyiymiş gibi davranmaya çalışılıyor. Suikastçi olarak eğitilen bir kızın bu tür davranış bozuklarına neden sahip olduğu gösterilmediği için davranışları çok yapmacık geliyor.
    Bu sezonda karakter gelişimi sadece Daredevil göstermiyor. Karen Page, Nelson, Sgt. Brett ve hatta Wilson Fisk bile gösteriyor. Hepsi kendilerini belli konularda kanıtlıyor ve bu tatmin edici fakat bir Elektra kadar rol kaplamıyorlar. Bu sebepten dolayı Elektra her şekilde göze çarpıyor ve sıradan hikâyesini bize izlettiriyor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What happened to Daredevil? Season 1 was robust and encapsulated a person with complexity, moral character, and a will. In season 2, much of this is replaced with emotional garbage. Yes, the "Punisher" is developed a little more, but this shouldn't be ultimately about him.

    What Daredevil wants to communicate before facing certain death on the rooftop is that "if they face it together everything might be ok?" What happened to the moral compass, to the greater Power, and the ultimate cause of good triumphing over evil? Also, Daredevil has no words to say at Electra's death? Did she die for nothing? If he has lost his way, then who can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, truth from error?

    Get back Daredevils edge, or the show tanks!

I find her irritating, her character just doesn't work for me. She is supposed to be a foil for Murdock, a character who goes too far, the darker side of Daredevil himself in some ways.

    But then thats already been explored with the Punisher, a fighter for justice who goes too far and with the morality of going to far being already explored between these two it makes the later relationship between Electra and Murdock feel very weak, the only difference being a romantic past. As she annoys and irritates Murdock she annoys and irritates the audience as well, there is very little beyond this and that is a shame. She needed something else to make her likeable in some way.    … Expand

    The relationship between Charlie and Electra is interesting, but for me The Punisher steals the show. I'm a big Punisher fan, but you know, the real one: the Garth Ennis version. Jon Bernthal is great as the big man, except that, well, he isn't a big man and The Punisher is huge. Also, Bernthal's version comes across as a traumatised war veteran: Rambo 1, if you will. The real Punisher is a cold and calculating machine, not an emotional wreck, just a regular sociopath. But hey, at least a version is on-screen and the version Jon does is done well.

    The actual main threat for this season is pretty underwhelming and takes a backseat to all that's going on with Mr Punisher and Charlie, Ms Electra and Charlie etc.

    All in all, another really entertaining season. Perhaps, it would've fared a little better with either the Punisher or Electra and a stronger main story.    … Expand

Even if Marvel wasn't associated with this at all, Daredevil would still be one of the best crime/vigilante dramas out there. It's just great storytelling elevated by its superhero backdrop, with classic characters like Wilson Fisk and The Punisher butting heads with Matt Murdock through insanely choreographed fight sequences (the best in Marvel history) in the dark, gritty streets of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil shows the grimier side of Marvel for sure, not quite as disturbing as Jessica Jones, but there's a fair share of graphic imagery. It's never gratuitous, though. The violence is real and raw, and you believe the wounds Daredevil gets in his numerous altercations, painfully so. Every little detail is accounted for, from the functionality of Foggy and Matt's lawyer firm to the martial arts techniques used in the many mind-blowingly impressive fight scenes. It all works so well; the writing is sharp, sometimes slow and brooding but it always pays off, and it's character-driven without delving into soap opera territory like many comic book shows do (though the Elektra storyline comes close).

    Wilson Fisk is one of the best villains to come out of Marvel live action universe, played to perfection by Vincent D'Onofrio. The acting all around is top-notch. Charlie Cox gives a convincing performance of the blind lawyer vigilante, and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher is superb. You begin to care about every character though, even the antagonists. Frank Castle is a written as a fully fleshed out person - he does what he does for a reason that's very personal to him, and you understand why and you care. Even Foggy and Karen, who I didn't care much for in season 1, grew on me by season 2 and I really came to like some of their arcs.

    The first four episodes of season 2 might be the best stretch of comic book episodes put to screen, ever. It's unbelievable. Seeing that alone should sell you on the show (but you should most certainly start with season 1). Daredevil is just something you have to experience if you're a comic book fan, or an action fan, or a fan of quality television. It's that good.    … Expand

    The characters are nailed perfectly. The fights are the kind you wish you could see in the movies or tv. Writing is mixed but at least it has its moments unlike many shows where you often don't even get that.

    The setup for the Punisher is great. The trial is a letdown although it starts to pick up with Fisk, a welcome sight at that point in the season. But as the Punisher escapes,    The characters are nailed perfectly. The fights are the kind you wish you could see in the movies or tv.

    The setup for the Punisher is great. The trial is a letdown although it starts to pick up with Fisk, a welcome sight at that point in the season. But as the Punisher escapes, so does his storyline and any meaningful conclusions. I think the most disappointing thing in this regard was not tying the Punisher to the Hand somehow. Both main plots didn't come together. The Punisher's aid at the end makes little sense and has little impact. Any reaction from him finding out the Daredevil's identity is missing (he used a scope on an unmasked Daredevil). Also, the Punisher's characterization seemed to flounder a bit. I'd love to see him get his own show though.

    Daredevil himself? I didn't see much progression. He remains fearless and sticks to his code of ethics even if he starts to waver with Elektra. The tearing apart of his personal life might have had more impact if the other two of his firm had some clue of what was going on. Is Foggy that much of a dope?

    Page remains Lois Lane with no real clue of what is driving her to such lengths. It got tiring seeing her storyline to be honest. Any real payoff doesn't come til the end and that's left to future seasons.

    I'll agree with others that the fights with the ninjas got tiring after awhile. The whole war thing didn't really pay off. Daredevil or rather Matt's character suffered. I haven't understood why he's a lawyer. He doesn't seem to be very passionate about it. There's still something missing as to what drives him to be Daredevil. I like to fight and I can help these people just isn't enough. At least with the Punisher, his drive for vengeance is understandable.

    All in all, I can't help but feel Daredevil remains a weak character requiring the biggest leap of faith when it comes to seeing him in action. So much focus on Page and Foggy in their professions but not enough on Matt, who with his abilities, should be the one sought after (he's a human lie detector). Foggy is a joke coming off like a kid out of college at that interview.    … Expand

    This kind of show needs a good, dangerous and interesting villain.

    And one thing I noticed even in the first season:
    During the fight scenes it's too easy to forget that Murdock is blind.
    After a short amount of time the fights just look like two guys fighting and one of them is wearing a costume.
    It's just my opinion, but I think that, during the fight scenes, the show isn't able to continuously convey Murdock's blindness.
    Maybe the show would need more special effects to achieve that goal and it would take a movie budget to do it.
    I know that the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck wasn't good, but at least the special effects managed to make me "look" through Murdock's blind eyes and it made me get immersed into his world.

    Apart from that, the fight scenes in this series are solid, but they aren't original enough to keep me interested in the long run.

And the supporting cast of Foggy and Karen are not just left to wait for Matt as they each have there own compelling stories.

If I didn't know better I say that "the management committee" meddled with the plot in order to set up as many spin off series as possible. The irony of season 2 is that is fails where the Netflix model is suppose to show its strength.

Thankfully this was not the case, rather this series has gone on to explore the character of Daredevil and others to such a degree thatWith season 1 frankly without peer in what can best be described as vigilante-noir, there was a very real risk that season 2 would screw the pouch and leave us feeling like the show would have been better left at it's strong but teasing end in season 1. Thankfully this was not the case, rather this series has gone on to explore the character of Daredevil and others to such a degree that it's become quite possibly the single greatest adaptation of comic book super heroes to ever hit film; and I don't say that lightly.

    While the realism and grit are still present, season 2 here crosses whole-heartedly into film-noir as it's primary aesthetic; with realism being prominent but taking a back seat for style and substance to shine through. You're likely to see women in long flowing gowns when they couldn't reasonably afford them and it would be impractical to wear. Characters smoke and sit in unnaturally lit rooms with light coursing through Venetian blinds at odd angles, or the orange glow of street lighting bleeding through thick stained windows, often for no reason other than style. There are multiple scenes with rolling mist and fog in places where it would be physically impossible for it to exist. Regularly characters will discuss things in the gruff tones of the struggled journalist trying to make it in the cruel world, and everyone seems one coffee away from a nervous breakdown. There's a real sense that the noir theme underpins everything here, even down to the action, and it makes the show all the stronger for it.

    Then there's the addition of new characters. The Punisher being the most obvious addition but we'll come to him later. First let's consider the supporting cast, Karen Page is given the ability to show strength and resourcefulness, while also showing vulnerability and her at times, delicate nature, all in equal measures, making her the perfect example of a fully fleshed out female character on TV. Foggy comes into his own, with his scenes in the court room being some of the best acting and most tension filled scenes in the show, and my personal highlight, and finally there's Elektra, a character who's given enough focus to shine without backsliding into the anti-hero role; we finally instead see her as what she is. She's a villain plain and simple. While the search for the "good in her" makes for interesting character dynamics, the fact that she's not just portrayed as the good girl who occasionally does bad things is refreshing and it highlights the main theme of the show which is where you draw your moral line... and with that there's the Punisher.

    The Punisher is portrayed perfectly with such a great emphasis on what makes him so dangerous and that's his lack of hesitation when it comes to taking life. The Punisher is genuinely frightening and puts the highlights on the question of as what point an anti-hero becomes as bad as the villains they fight; simultaneously it exposes the hypocrisy of Daredevil and the futility of his approach when it's hamstrung by the moral quandaries faced by Matt Murdock.

    Superbly realised this series achieves everything it went out to achieve and is delightful to watch because of this. One of the best TV shows I've seen to date.    … Expand

Does Netflix hit its mark? Not even close. Season two now follows our favorite visually-challenged hero on some non-lawyer missions through his neighborhood, Hell's Kitchen.

Does Netflix hit its mark? Not even close. Season two now follows our favorite visually-challenged hero on some non-lawyer missions through his neighborhood, Hell's Kitchen. While season one focused on, or at least kept in mind, innovation, this season makes you feel like your watching slightly more grown up version of the CW's Arrow.

    From the first few episodes, it immediately triggers the notion that perhaps Netflix cares more about subscribers and less about content. Aside from stuffing each episode with lackluster "dance" fight sequences and tiring witty glances, it lacks real edge, the type of edge that Netflix clearly has, as seen with the latest season of House of Cards.

    "Daredevil" begins to show a departure from the print Daredevil as a cautious law-inflicting strategist to dial tone do-gooder sparing the city's most wanted. Yes, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is indeed conflicted but in an archaic fashion. His no-kill policy no matter how severe the felony reduces him to a singular dimension mostly due to the savage actions of his opposite, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal). The Ying Yang nature of Castle and Murdock's personas works well until Castle breaks loose from his antihero chains and just wreaks havoc on anyone in sight.

    One notable example is the hospital scene where Castle is revealed. There, Castle tracks down Grotto, a member of the Irish gang who is guarded by Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), and with a sawed-off shotgun mows down everything in sight in hopes of ending grotto. "Everything in sight" entails Page, hospital equipment and innocent bystanders entrusted to save lives.

    For a military man capable of following precise directive, he sure doesn't. This single act dismisses him as any type of hero and further adds to the series' preposterous views on superhero ethos. Speaking of the outlandish, the creation of antagonists that cater to our hero's disability is starting to poke pretty big holes at our suspension of disbelief.

    Incorporating ninjas is a lazy safe play and disregarding that guns actually exist due to the fact that it might and will eviscerate any chance of more complex storytelling is really a low blow to the modern superhero. In addition, the creation of new limits to Murdock's powers including the ability to hone in on the faintest of sounds begs the question: "Why don't the antagonists blare death metal during each fight?" Easy win. Seriously.

    On a more positive note, Elektra's (Élodie Yung) introduction into this Inferno points the series into the right direction in respects to gender equality but it's pretty clear she exists more as character support to the Devil of Hell's Kitchen rather than a character in her own right.

    From a cinematic perspective, it's still a gritty nihilistic atmosphere, reminiscent of live-action Max Payne. However, as one would expect, the cinematography works only in favor of masking the tiresome and somewhat unenthusiastic fight sequences and forcing dramatic tension.

    "Daredevil's" bag of generic action-drama techniques stemming from early '90s Hollywood gnaws at your patience. Its inattentive cutting and TV pacing catapults each scene to undesirably awkward heights. It's similar to be asked to paint a wall and forced to watch it dry. Peppered with time-killing flashbacks, one too many Inception horn swells and unwanted slow motion shots, this season may leave you with a piercing aftertaste not even alcohol can wash away.

    The term "Daredevil" appropriately reflects the current state of the series: a reckless studio who flirts disastrously with its own content.    … Expand

    Elektra's addition was banal. The Hand storyline would have had so much more impact had it been condensed to the latter half of the season. Hogarth has no scars to show if this is before or after the Killgrave storyline.

    Unfortunately season 2 disappointed me - after a wonderful start in the first 7 episodes the show slips into nothing else but extremely violent fight scenes.

In the first season I got much closer to the characters, because there were also comic reliefs and ordinary settings in which you could find Matt and the others just being "normal". Now all is gone dark and everything is solved with violence. I understand that the dramatically arc is playing with this almost unsolvable situation, and that everything is so terrible to make the characters suffer more - but this one way street also drives you away from them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first season was mesmerizing, in large part due to the fact that the on-screen drama was just as electrifying as the action. Scenes were filled with palpable tension and real emotion. I rated it 5 stars on Netflix without compunction.

    This season was kind of a hot mess. The first problem was that they divided this season in half and it resulted in ridiculous mood whiplash. The first half was a gritty crime drama that questioned what it was to be a hero and how vigilantism helped/hurt the community. Then suddenly the second half was about zombie ninjas and a HORRIBLY shoehorned love story plotline.

    I believe that either of these arcs could have worked if they had been given their own season. They could have focused on making the between-fight scenes as gripping as in the first season instead of rushing into poor resolutions so they could move on to the next mediocre plot point. Although the writing of the Elektra half was much weaker. That could have used a lot of work.

    The cinematography and imagination weren't there in spades like they were in season 1 either. Don't get me wrong, there were some amazing shots, but those were balanced out with fight scenes that were too dark or scenes that were too long and plodding for no real gain.

    Frank Castle was probably the most interesting character of the season, and I honestly think the series would have been better off if they had used him as the main character for this one since Matt's character had little/no impact or gravitas in what was happening. He just kind of reacted to stuff.

    Karen and Foggy took character development, although Karen's transition into reporter was a bit ham-fisted. It's always good to see Stick. The DA was a joke, super cliche lines and situations. Elektra was... a mixed bag at best. Her lack of compunction for killing would have been an interesting counterpoint to Daredevil... except they already explored that with Frank Castle, so it was double-dipping. The scenes with Fisk were of course excellent, as D'onofrio reprises his role with the same brilliance as Season 1. Claire Temple, who was electrifying in Season 1, is given a complete nonsense side plot that does not even come close to showcasing her talent.

    It all led up to the giant pile that was the final episode. Random catchphrases about focusing and heroism, a horribly misplaced and completely out of character scene between Elektra and Matt with him willing to renounce New York for her (despite the fact that she sickened him not two episodes earlier), a ludicrous fight scene against a ton of ninjas with the cops just kind of sitting around (and not watching, apparently, as Stick just walked past). Daredevil's problems with killing kind of dissolve and Elektra and Frank murder numerous ninjas without so much as a finger wag from Matt. I guess when the chips are down killing is just fine, as long as he is just watching? Then end it with a weird misplaced soliloquy from Karen in the guise of an article that "only she can write" about the nature of heroism, that really would have been much more at home during the Punisher-focused episodes, and really had no personal edge at all, just platitudes and vagaries.

    In the end, the action was there (beating the crap out of an entire biker gang was pretty amazing) but the drama was not. Matt's character just kind of reacted to things, while everyone else in Hell's Kitchen took the horns. Hopefully Season 3 will have much better focus and cause me to bring Daredevil's rating back up to a 5 again... though that ship may have permanently sailed now.    … Expand

    Outstanding, intense, action packed and emotionally impactful. Many story lines weave together well and only ocassionally misstep. You know there must be a lot of good stuff going on if you find yourself wishing for episodes that focus more on secondary characters and less on the main. I prey they leave room for a punisher spin off. But then again I've only seen up to episode ten. Superb!

    Not only does it deliver on its very high expectations, it really gets the story going and leaving you craving for a possible 3rd season.

    The plot, the exceptional execution and great pace add up to what I believe is truly the best super-hero show/movie ever displayed. (Idk why it got such a low score. Its great go see it now.)

    Daredevil is pretty much it's own Spiderman 2 as Matt Murdock deals with the challenge of living a double life as you can see as the series goes,parts of his life start getting demolished because of it and this was interesting as you got to see the way how he handled it.The action was of-course epic,during the first episodes there isn't a lot of action but as you go deeper the action is amped up as you get to see Daredvil take on ninjas and i don't see anything better than that, also with the addition of Punisher and Elektra fight scenes are more brutal and bloody and you're just entertained throughout.

    With a new season comes new characters like Frank Castle(The Punisher) and Elektra,both these characters were good and brought different elements to the show.Jon bernthal's Punisher was a nice addition because he challenged Daredevil philosophy about not killing criminal's and you get to understand both characters reason's for they different ideologies which was really interesting because Daredevil really struggled through this arc the entire season.The Punisher also had his own story arc this season as the main focus was on the Death of his family and getting revenge,there was an upside and downside to this.The upside was for the first time you felt sympathy for The Punisher which the movies could never do,i mean this character is brutal,bashful and just plain violent but Daredevil brings a certain humanity to Frank Castle and this was aided by Jon bernthal's performance as he acted the part nicely.Now the downside was Frank Castle's arc began to die down as the next episodes start to come along because his story starts to get a little longer than it's supposed to be and it just starts dragging on and on and comes to a dissatisfying conclusion after investing so much into this character and his full transformation into The Punisher is shoehorned in and feels out of place.

    Another addition was Elodie Yung's Elektra,when Elektra is first introduced to the show she brought up this new vibe to the show,The chemistry between Matt Murdock and Elektra is really good and their relationship is one of the strongest elements in Season 2.Elektra brings a fun element to the show as she brings wit and a certain fun danger.Elektra's arc was also interesting(more interesting than The Punisher) as she teams up with Daredevil to face The Hand(Season 2 villains),and although The Hand weren't as good a villain as Wilson Fisk, the Hand made the show more comic-booky and soft of mystical element, and for a show as grounded as Daredevil it was good for them to pull it off even though some things were rather confusing and never really resolved.

    The Supporting characters like Karen Paige,Nelson Foggy also have their own story arcs with Karen dealing this consequences of Season 1,romance with Daredevil and an involvement with The Punisher and Foggy dealing with being his friendship with Matt and challenges with their Law firm,these were equally satisfying stories and well deserved as they don't take a back seat to all that's happening around them although Karen's story with the punisher drags on sometimes.

    Now the pacing,man this show took it's time on certain things and it became rather boring at times as the slow pace killed the show's momentum at time as there wouldn't be any character developments at all just people talking and talking and talking which became BORING,this was also a problem with Season1 but thankfully the show's pace picks up during the last few episodes.Also i find it frustrating that a show called Daredevil can hold back on the comic book/superhero element,it is understandable that the show can focus on human elements but that becomes tedious as the show didn't show enough Daredevil during the first episodes and this was really frustrating for a series based on a comic book.

    So Daredevil Season 2 for me was a good,enjoyable season,it was better action,more interesting characters,nice story arc and new and mysterious villains that kept me excited thought it had pacing problems and sometimes it was just plain BORING, that didn't ruin the Season and i can't wait for Season 3.    … Expand

    Season 1 was great. Definitely was my personal favourite thing that Marvel Studios has probably ever produced.

It's such a shame, though, that this show devolves so rapidly and falls apart into a hot mess of plots and subplots, and constant introduction of characters to build us up to further series and spin-offs. Unfortunately, despite the first season actually having weight and maturity in the presentation of its characters and their issues, it fell into the classic superhero trap of "invincible superhero beats X amount of goons with little to no effort", while also filling the classic Marvel Studios quota of setting as much up as possible.
    The acting, is on the whole alright, with Jon Bernthal giving the most memorable and 3 Dimensional rendition of The Punisher to date, and it's such a shame when his character arc begins to feel forced to its disappointing anticlimax. Élodie Yung plays the arrogant assassin Elektra, and though a damned sight better than the 2004 presentation, the character gets annoying before too long. As for the rest of the characters, I suppose they're all just about the same as before. Murdoch loses his charm somewhat, but still Foggy Nelson is goofy and Karen Page is the loveable mother-figure, whose romantic inclinations felt natural. In fact, Deborah Ann Woll's consistent performance between both seasons is worthy of praise.

    The big bad gets a bit muddled, as the lines between main plot and subplot get blurred midway through the series, and unfortunately, it ends up being the more faceless, generic villain that ends up getting the big spot, and this is what leads to the aforementioned boring, vapid fight scenes, involving droves of supposed armed martial arts experts getting beaten up effortlessly by the protagonist. Such a shame. What's even more of a shame though is the squandered potential of the Punisher storyline's conclusion being pushed to a mere afterthought, where his moral dilemma is far more interesting than the contrived main villain's interests. The big bad organisation's costumes became comically (and not meaning the source material) low quality, and the supernatural elements made me feel like I was watching a hammy superhero TV show from The CW.

    In the end, I'm just left saddened by the state in which it ended; and while there were some strong performances, some memorable action set pieces, and my favourite Punisher so far; the squandered potential to create something that was overall memorable and original, perhaps along a similar vein to the first series, really disappointed. 5/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As promised, I want to wrap up my thoughts on the sexiest show I?ve ever seen on Netflix [or in general,] Marvel?s Daredevil Season 2.

    If you haven?t already, you can read my first impressions here, where I talk about my likes, dislikes and desires of the show.

    Honestly the first two episodes were nothing compared to the direction this show took. I thought it capitalized on the major theme of perspective. It did a swanky as hell job breaking the season up into 4 arcs that focused on each perspective and then culminated with and epic and climactic fallout.

    Daredevil likes what he does. He believes he can provide the justice Hell?s Kitchen needs without the cost of death, while Frank Castle a.k.a The Punisher, believes death is the only option. Elektra is on the same boat with The Punisher as well. Having this ?death no matter what? mentality definitely provided Matt Murdock with a challenge that made this season superior to its predecessor.

    As I mentioned in my previous post, there were a few things I did not like as the season rolled out. One of them being the Irish gang scene. I will admit, that it did pay off later in the season with the remaining Irish mob taking on Frank Castle. On that note too, I did have major issues with Foggy, but he quickly redeemed himself starting from when he broke up the two gang members in the hospital. The rest of the season, Foggy delivered.

    I did in fact get to see a lot of what I had desired earlier on. I wanted to see The Punisher kick more ass; he kicked major ass. I would say altogether The Punisher stole the show. Episode 3 would have to be my favourite of the entire season. The chat between Daredevil and The Punisher on their ideals was amazing and then Frank?s monologue on what happened to his family brought it home for me. I feel the creators did a perfect job of making me empathize with the guy **** made me cry.]

    In the same episode we got the hallway scene 2.0 with Daredevil merking a bunch of gang members in the stairwell. It is easily the best shot scene in television history.

    As The Punisher?s arc came to a close, we were introduced to Matthew Murdock?s ex-lover Elektra Notchios. Just when things were getting good between Karen and Matt, [I 100% approve of this relationship btw #teamkarenandmatt] Elektra comes in to just **** with everyone. Matt all of a sudden lets down Nelson and Murdock a during the most important trial, well?ever. I can say that I LOVED Elektra and Daredevil?s chemistry though, but I was more engaged in the People vs the Punisher arc. I was hoping for Kingpin?s trial this season, but instead we got Frank Castle having to take the stand. Can I just say that all this lawyer and court stuff is so awesome to have. I wish Season 1 would have had half the amount of lawyer content this season had.

    Anyways, I think the show did well with pacing. By breaking it up into little arcs, I was always entertained and it felt like a new show every 3 or 4 episodes.

    Now, when Kingpin came in after Punisher was brought to the same prison as him, I almost **** my pants. Like actually, I ran to the bathroom, brought my laptop and had to **** I really didn?t even think we would get a glimpse of Wilson Fisk this season as much as I wanted to see his trial. That freaking said, he was EXTREMELY intimidating this time around. Last season, he came off as a big, fat baby. This time though he was actually terrifying. The way he manipulated Frank in murdering a **** ton of inmates and then eventually setting him free to clear the streets for when he is ready to take over Hell?s Kitchen?**** Marvel knows what they are doing. Then when Matt knew Fisk was the one who released Castle and went to pay him a visit. That conversation legit had me at the edge of the toilet [as if I was watching 3 episodes straight while still dropping it like its hot.] Murdock was literally defenceless against this brute. This was the rise of the real Kingpin. Damn?I?m excited for him to hit the streets of Hell?s Kitchen in season 3.

    Here is where the season got a little wonky for me?

    The Hand.

    To be honest, I did not find them THAT intimidating. Although that one scene with them scaling the hospital to save the children of the corn was hella dope, they just had no substance. They reminded me of the League of Assassins in Arrow. A team that?s purpose is so vague, they really have no purpose to be there. They did provide some awesome action opportunities for both Daredevil and Elektra. Other than that, I could have done without them. And Stick, I actually hate the character with a passion. I literally take a nap when he comes on screen.

    The culmination of the season was very climactic. I loved the scene where Elektra and Daredevil are deciding where they should die; in the building or on the roof. I also liked how Punisher was declared dead and he finally donned the skull on his chest. I feel that as much as the final episode was a set up for maybe a Punisher series or Defenders arc, it definitely did a near perfect job of developing Matt Murdock as Daredevil, Karen Page as a journalist and Foggy as a powered-people lawyer.

    Overall:

    + The theme of the show is beautifully executed through the ideals and perspectives of each character. It makes you question who is right and who is wrong.

    + The action, hands down.

    + The Punisher steals the show through his intricate backstory and arc.

    + Elektra brings a profound energy to the show.

    + All the supporting characters from last season (Foggy, Karen and Wilson Fisk) redeem themselves in a colossal way.

    +Daredevil was developed with care and precision to make him the hero we know and love from the comics.

    ? The hand, Stick and Black Sky garbage.

    Though I felt this season started off not as successful as the first, it quickly redeemed itself by introducing and expanding on such great characters as Elektra, The Punisher, Stick and Nobu. The sheer brilliance of bringing us further into the world of Frank Miller's classic comic combined with the realism of the Marvel Television Universe has this viewer excited for what is coming next.

    Oh, f--k it. I rather ask Marvel my self!

    But still, one hell of a damned good show!    … Expand

    Daredevil's second season is a beast that doesn't stop moving until it's 13 episodes are up. The action is almost nonstop, Murdock's beliefs are tested at every turn, and there's even some courtroom and romance drama for you. It's a brutal, exciting return that kept me on the edge of my seat every single second.

The action is almost nonstop, Murdock's beliefs are tested at every turn, and there's even some courtroom and romance drama for you. It's a brutal, exciting return that kept me on the edge of my seat every single second.

    The big hook this season is in the introduction of Elektra and The Punisher to the MCU. The latter of whom steals the show. Both characters are perfectly cast and do an excellent job of putting Daredevil through the wringer, both emotionally and physically. Honestly these new characters are so exciting they end up overshadowing the main character himself. It really is The Punisher that makes this season so incredible. Don't get me wrong, the show was already awesome before he showed up, but he really makes things special this time around. I can't give Jon Bernthal's performance enough praise. I really hope he gets his own Punisher show or movie. He is just outstanding.

    The pacing issues from the first season aren't to be found here. Yeah, the plot bounces around a lot, but there are no slow moving moments that aren't pushing things forward. There's always something happening and it's usually violent and bloody.

    They took the action up a notch. Some of these fights are just absolutely mind-blowing and incredible. They upped the brutality as well. Plenty of gruesome moments to be found. It's a special treat for action aficionados.

    Truth be told this season doesn't only just succeed in about every department, it knocks it out of the park. Sure Murdock is often the least interesting person onscreen from time to time, and Stick's "war" ends up being less than what he led on, but overall I was not disappointed with this season. Infact I was impressed. It defied every, already high expectation. This second season not only stands as among the best of what Netflix and the MCU have to offer, but als just super hero shows in general.

    Another great season of the best to date Marvel TV show. Jon Bernthal does great Job as the rest of the cast. it's great to see the creators addressing the previous season weak point - the shaky camera during fighting sequences, instead they began to use a regular stable camera and even mixed it up with some tasteful slow-motion.

    This is a great show, possibly one of my favorite ever. The only thing is, Foggy is portrait by the worst actor ever. They need to get rid of this annoying person who you can tell is trying to remember his lines during the show. All he does is whine. Other than that, Netflix is a must have thanks to its very high quality exclusive shows they produce!

    I'm stunned by the positive reviews. I can't remember an action series that was so GD boring. Every scene is way too long. Too much talking and so formulaic. Every episode is a slog... then the last 5 mins are action to get you excited to watch next episode. I tried watching... they lost me mid-way through episode 5.

Such well-casted actors/actress cannot be found in any other show. The story can make anyone feel the tension.

    I am in complete shock with how the "critics " have reviewed this show. These ratings are a complete farce, I highly suggest that anyone who is reading this to completely ignore the professional critics and listen to your peers. This show is beyond incredible and puts a vast majority of network and cable tv to shame. Something deeper has to be going on with these reviewers, someone is on the take, or maybe I'm just so deeply entrenched in Daredevil that it's coming out on how I feel about reading these reviews.

    I don't want to give away much on plot but it improves on everything from the first season and amps up the intensity 10 fold. In closing you are doing yourselves a disservice if you pass on this show, and to the cast and crew keep up the good work and know that the fans absolutely love your work!    … Expand

    Ultimately, Petrie and Ramirez created a season that fully understands Daredevil's strengths and plays to them accordingly. But this second installment is underwritten, and has failed to build on the show's fine first season.

    Mr. Cox and Elden Hanson, as Foggy, do earnestness well and put across the sometimes dopey dialogue better than you’d have a right to expect. There’s not, however, a lot of wit or shading to their performances--the writing can be blamed, but they could be doing more to amplify it, to make the show more fun. For that, we can turn to Deborah Ann Woll, who jolts the show to life every time she appears as Karen.
