Anymore general impressions? Compared to the other series?

Right now, it's leagues better than JJ. Bernthal is like a force of nature, the plots are really good (lots of continuity nods and seamless follow-up to threads from the previous season) and the acting is uniformly on point as always.

On point casting for sure.


I'm way more impressed with Charlie Cox this season too.

I thought he was a serviceable Murdock with some great moments last season, but I find him to be blending into the role more fluidly now.

Episode 1 was kinda lame, quality seems down from last season.

Hope it picks up.

Not going to lie, it does still feel "cheap" at times, and personally I find the lighting to be rather flat in a couple scenes, first episode especially. The quality gets better faster this season IMO.

Just watchex episode 1, which already feels like a strong return. The suit doesn't bother me as much as it did at the end of last season for some reason. Hell's Kitchen still looks great (by which I mean terrible) - why can't fellow Marvel shows Agents of B.L.A.N.D or Agent Blander look even remotely as good aesthetically as this show? Visually it's on par with the likes of Hannibal or True Detective S1 IMO.

Episode 6

not enjoying the Elektra arc at all. In fact it's making me dislike the series. It's so drawn out and boring. Can't stand her acting either.


The Punisher however is keeping me going.

I feel like the casting of Elodie Yung as Elektra Nachos is slightly overlooked. She does a phenomenal job with the character, and you feel her presence every time she's on screen. Both Shane and Elodie were great castings, and I hope Elektra is back for S3, and that Punisher gets his own series.

Shane...lol his performance don't remind me of Shane at all, which really shows you how good he is with the role.

Marvel erased the Affleck stink for Daredevil and is erasing the Gardner stink for Elektra. I would be okay with Elektra getting her own series (even if just a season or two) and Punisher OBVIOUSLY needs his own series.

Seven episodes in and I'm convinced Foggy only exists this season to make sad, pouty faces at Matt and yell a lot.

And why would I want them?
Just finished Ep 6

Jon Bernthal is just absolutely killing it. That scene in the hospital when they are talking about his kids toys had me choked the fuck up. The Punisher is easily my favortie part about season 2 so far. Im kinda iffy on Elektra so far. Some good, some bad but nothing that brings the show down. It's been great so far overall.

Episode 2 down, still feels cheap. The action lacks the coherence that made made the first season such a stand out, the cinematography is kinda just there, the dialogue from any non principal actor is straight up video game bad.

I'm super disappointed in this.

I don't really know what you mean by "cheap" in a critical sense, but the season seriously improves starting with Ep. 3, so it might redeem itself.

I mean I disagree with everything you said, so you might think differently of the show from this point forward, but I'm pretty confident in saying that the first two episodes are easily the weakest so far.

I don't know what the actors' name is, I just quickly assumed it was Shane, but take it that is his character's name in The Walking Dead. I have never seen him in anything than in this season's Daredevil.

Gonna save Episode 10, 11, 12 and 13 for tomorrow.

Up to Ep. 6, but this is a general question for those who've watched up to this point:
How do you guys like that this season seems way less plot-focused and way more character-focused in it's structure? I have to admit, it's a little jarring considering how well structured S1 was with one villain for 13 episodes, but I really appreciate how different this season feels in comparison. I feel like Foggy and Karen are MUCH better characters as a result and it's refreshing to see characters like Punisher and Elektra who aren't you typical clear-cut villains. I for one think Elektra's performance is pretty great. Frank is great but I don't see nearly as much praise for Elektra. I love the way the actress play her, verbally and physically.

This is what I'm talking about right here. An immense and utterly fantastic performance by Elodie Yung, both verbally and physically yes.

Episodes 1-6 spoilers

scrolled back a few pages and saw lots of complaints that Punisher wouldnt
shoot Daredevil or at Karen...

...and then the show explains both
DD (the suit builder flat out says he could have killed him if he wanted) and Frank himself told Karen she was never in any danger

Its almost like people should watch every episode before jumping to conclusions or something ^_^

Episode 6 but in terms of Elektra
hate her thus far. Grinning and practically getting off whilst Matt has an emotional breakdown beating down his dad's murderer. Bitch.

To me, the season got better at Episode 5 and onward and got even better from Episode 8 and onward. I'm worried about the talk about the show "falling off" or becoming ridiculous by Episode 11/12 - those who have that impression, are you guys also familiar with the source material? Or does the complaints not have anything to do with that?

I was completely in the dark about the sick character introductions in the first couple of episodes. It was so so pleasurable to see Daredevil
meet up with the Punisher
. Casting for the role is utter perfection.

Fucking loved episode 5. Elektra's actress is amazing and definitely deserves more credit. Whoever's in charge of casting deserves a medal.

Loved all the
Matt/Elektra flashbacks. She'd make anyone turn bad. God damn.
