    I have watched every episode of season 1 now. Each episode was fantastic. This is the first time I have ever seen Daredevil portrayed so accurately outside of the comics.

    I'm only on episode 3 but wow this season is incredible. I was worried that they might fail in bringing the greatness of the first season as most shows can't do it but so far I am watching it in amazement. The show is perfect, by far the best super-hero show/movie to have ever played on screen.

    This season is as good as it gets and any fan of the first season will absolutely love the second.

    All this aside, the second season of Daredevil is phenomenal and is building greatly upon its amazing first season and improves on all fronts. The cast and crew behind this masterpiece are great and you can feel their love for the characters through great acting and writing in this near-perfect piece of media.
    Good job daredevil, keep the quality coming and disregard the disgraceful reviews your getting from simple minded lowlife journalists.

    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.

    Right, many people have been absolutely prasing this season. Calling it stronger, better and more complex then the first. To those people, i sadly have to disagree. Season 2 of Daredevil is a real tonal pasting mess. Its not, by any means necessary, bad, in fact its still pretty fantastic compared to most tv shows out their. But their are some serious issues in this season.

    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.

The plot meanders one way, then waddles off another way to chase something else shiny. To keep the action going, like a metronome keeping time, a new army of ninjas will show up to get their butt kicked in all their acrobatic glory. The problem is that there isn't much time spent building up a coherent threat for our hero to fight. Instead we get multiple origin stories and a general feeling that some bad guys are out there doing bad things.

    The season is definitely worth a watch and the middle part is enjoyable. Just know that the beginning is a bit slow and the end is unsatisfying. 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. Instead of using the certainty of a full season and the ability of viewers to binge watch to tell a full and complete story, season 2 comes off as a potpourri of half thought out ideas.

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.

    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.

At first I had my doubts about Jon Bernthal portraying Frank Castle but considering how they've written him in this particular series I think he does an excellent job; even though I would have preferred Ray Stevenson in the role as he brought more of a trained soldier feel to the role in War Zone and he looked just like Frank Castiglione from War Zone. I do, however, appreciate that they ramped up the gore and violence for this season--simply because I was worried that they would treat The Punisher like a PG-13 character (see the 2004 version of 'The Punisher'). He brought a lot of dynamics to the ethics of justice vs vigilantism.

    If I had a few gripes it's that some of the fighting looked fake and rain makers always look fake--both are pretty minor. The villians aren't exactly as compelling or detailed as the previous season but it also means that this series moves along MUCH quicker! Over all a definite improvement over the first season and I enjoyed that Frank Castle loves his coffee. That was a nice touch. I hope he gets his own show and we get to see him use more tactics than a meathead rage monster approach to offing criminals, his van and Microchip.

    Season 2 of Daredevil was really really enjoyable, compared to Season 1 although it was a good season it was BORING,now with Daredevil's origin story out of the way season 2 offers more action,good story lines and THE PUNISHER.

    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.

Elodie Yung as Elektra does a very good job as well but the star of this season is easily the Punisher and I hope to see him involved in the future of all these shows on Netflix. It really was a season of growth for all of the characters, even if some of them were left behind a tad towards the end of the season. The story is great up until the last few episodes where things are a bit rushed to get to the conclusion. I lost some interest as well as the season took a different tun around episode 10 that really set up for the conclusion. But the extremely strong beginning and middle pieces are what set this series apart and, if this quality of material is going to be the norm for future seasons, then this will easily be the flagship show for the Marvel-Netflix TV shows.

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 magnificent season of the best superhero show I've ever seen. It is a beautiful spectacle and expands over the first season quite a bit.

Parts of it are cool but - from my point of view - it doesn't add up and frankly the whole thing is kind of a mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a fun season. I probably had even more fun with it than with the previous one. However, the final episode was kind of a letdown for me. That's not to say that it was bad, but it still didn't quite live up to everything that season two managed to build up beforehand.

    Still, season two had a lot of things going for it. All the characters that I liked in season one were great here as well: Matt, Stick and Fisk. Foggy and Karen had a lot of screen time and received tons of development which felt satisfying for the most part. Additionally, Claire's and Hogarth's returns were a nice touch. The characters that joined in season two were very solid: Elektra and especially Frank Castle.

    The performances were overall enjoyable, with Bernthal doing an exceptional job as the Punisher. I appreciated the cinematography and musical score this season as well.

    Overall, this was still a good run, and I'm definitely sticking around for the next season.

    How did that happen? It's better than season 1!! What? Yes it's better than season 1 as series 2 embraces it's comic roots with every episode is packed to the brim with drama, action and ninjas!! So far the best comic book to tv adaptation. I don't know how season 3 could top this... Oh yeah and The Punisher... he's crazy good. Enjoy it!

    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.

    I admire the series without being very engaged by it, but I can certainly see why you might get more hooked on it.
