    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).

    I didn't think this show would improve on its great first season but, if you ask me, it has done just that.    … Expand

    It's just really, really bad. The whole arch with Daredevil in Electra is...meh. Season is bloated with character introductions and villains that are only ok. Fairly forgettable.

    who knows even the Punisher will have its own series starting next year, and there will also be the combined Marvel thing with Daredevil, Luke Cage & Jessica Jones. Cheers to all involved in creating this series, its been extremely satisfying. Upwards and onwards with this! You can see its potential in continuing to grow bigger in years to come.    … Expand

    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.

    There was a much better Daredevil this season, the fighting scenes had much better choreography and there was a noticeable improvement over the former model. The actors also had settled into their roles improving and it made for easier vewing.

    Sadly my disappoint comes from after the roller coaster of the opening 3 episodes the next 6 go nowhere fizzling out into utter nothingness.

Building with all the puttie filler, blah bladdie blah. Where you can literally count the 1 odd minute of superheroness weighted against the other hour of boring nothingness, as it plods off into getting to know all about its other soap opera. We are watching a comic. A comic doesn't fug off into its drama, there much of a life story written out into a novel where the words fill up the comicbook pages, otherwise it just ain't the comics. Just because the Punisher got a little bit of punishment doesn't mean there was like nothing else left to do, so instead you bore us too death with all that other falalala. Fast-forward. We aren't watching no f'ing superhero series for it's drama, so when will you learn how to adapt them? Hint watch Banshee and maybe your getting closer...    … Expand

    With 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 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

    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

Almost like they had a checklist of fights and confrontations they had to fit into the script and cobbled it together the best they could. In a word, the writing was uninspired.

    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.

    I absolutely love the atmosphere of the show and only wish it followed through on the grittiness it conveys. I ranked this favorably only because I think they are one clever (and inspired) writer away of having the best superhero show on TV.    … 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.

    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 Hand story i felt was at its best when it shows how Matt is stuck between two worlds and how the balancing act was doomed to fail. And the supporting cast of Foggy and Karen are not just left to wait for Matt as they each have there own compelling stories.

    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

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

Overall though, not quite as strong as the first season in terms of innovation, characterization (especially villains), or pacing. This is mostly due to sluggishness and repetitiveness in the final stretch of the season.

America etc.).    … Expand

    Best MCU tv series till date. It mixes all the ingredients of a good superhero tv series which are humour, great action scenes and excellent character development. Chris Cox embodies the character of Daredevil and Matthew Murdock seamlessly. Also, this series gives us the best Punisher to date. Overall, it is a must watch for all lovers of Daredevil.

    Wow! Just WOW! Even better! Even the plot was somewhat scattered throughout the series to give way for character introduction, they still nailed it! The Punisher is great. Great performance from Jon Bernthal. I can't wait for another season!

    The working class hero from Hell´s Kitchen comes back with new challenges and dillemas; particullarly the increasingly heavy secret of his double identity. The addition of The Punisher and Elektra increase the curiosity of viewer.

    Without a doubt not as good as season 1, The Punisher pushed the first episodes, but the villain wasn't quite as memorable and the finale really felt short of what it could have been

Os pontos positivos da 2ª temporada do Demolidor ficam com a aparição e o desenvolvimento dos personagens Frank Castle (Punisher) e o Wilson Fisk (Rei do Crime) que é bem legal e deixou a expectativa para a série do The Punisher lá em cima e, também, pela base da série "Defenders" pois é nessa temporada que tudo começa.

Fora isso é tudo meio que um desastre. As cenas de luta são bem toscas e, até certo ponto, bem mal feitas. O roteirista decidiu não deixar mais nada implícito, o que acaba gerando diálogos longos e completamente desnecessários , pois, explicam coisas que não precisam ser explicadas e, em certos momentos eu senti como se os criadores estivessem duvidando da minha inteligência, como se eu não soubesse o que aconteceu e/ou não soubesse quais as consequências das atitudes dos personagens. A fotografia não deixou de ser boa, assim como o enredo mas, a forma com que tudo isso foi apresentado é um pouco decepcionante. O pior é que você precisa assistir essa temporada pra entender: Muitas coisas do "Iron Fist", Defenders e a série do The Punisher, ou seja, essa temporada é, por analogia, aquela matéria da escola que você não gosta mas que você tem que saber, ou pelo menos conhecer, pra passar no vestibular.… Expand

    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.

I really enjoyed the Punisher storyline and the more down to earth action scenes. I was not that keen on the flights of fantasy supernatural storyline with Electra and I feel the Electra actress was miscast for the role. The chemistry just didn't work between DareDevil and Electra. The Punisher character was awesome so up for his series.… Expand

    Daredevil: Season 2 is a marvelous second season (no pun intended). The characters are still wonderful as well as the outstandingly great action sequences. I loved the introduction to Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle and he steals every scene that he's in. My only complaint is that this season has some pacing issues and certain parts didn't transition well.

    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.

    The second great work from Marvel. I think that the main anti-hero is a Punisher in this season rather than the Daredevil. But the story line is interesting and impressing.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
