Agreed.

I even rewound it at the time and was like, WTF!
Watched it again now, it's like a credit-card thing she jimmies it with I guess. I was confused because she grabs the knob, and I thought she was sliding a key into the knob, like she was fumbling with a key-ring. Plus the credit card thing looks like it's on a keychain:

And if flashes like a key:
But I can see that it's not keys. Just got confused.

Damn they name dropped Jessica Jones in episode 5.
So the Defenders might be about that DA?
Oh no, not the actual best character in the entire first season.
Whatever shall we do.
6 episodes in. Pretty good so far. Something still seems off to me with Foggy, just not a fan (and no, having him tell someone off and then having a character state how great he is doesn't help me like him more. There has been several instances of this in the series and I find it funny).
I wish there would be more to
Looking forward to, probably, watching the rest this weekend.

Claire than being a character who reminds us this is the MCU, and things are connected.

I thought this about JJ but not with DD S1 and certainly not with S2 with so much going on

Season 1 definitely suffered from this, there were two episodes specifically devoted to filling out a season.
Episode four this season sure does have a cute star wars reference though.
Edit: He was too tired, gotta admit I'm crying right now. It's not some non standard exposition there, but the fact that he kept saying he was tired... got me. I'm gonna drink some more.

Loved most of season one, but S2:E1 left me underwhelmed. Felt like a trailer that was stretched out for a full episode. Reading the thread, sounds like it gets a lot better.

Episode 1-4:
Question in the spoiler for ya:
Show feels hollow at the moment. The fight scenes are adequate but nothing good since there's no energy to them and the tossing of his cane is really awkward and funny to see. The stairwell scene felt empty probably due to the poor sound, mediocre choreography, and generally no energy to it. I think they tried to match season 1's fight and it doesn't work well. None of the fights are good so far since there's a bunch of near hits that are quite visible. His flip kicks are hilariously out of place.
Not feeling the Punisher so far. He's willing to kill a random super but spares Daredevil twice for some reason. He's whole-fully inconsistent and his physical presence lacks during fight scenes. Hopefully it gets better but someone more intimidating and assertive in that role would probably do much better. Tom Hardy wanted to be it, should have gone in hard to acquire him.
Karen's actually good this season. Her scenes are the ones I enjoy the most.
Foggy is foggy.

What's riveting about it? They're basically yelling the same argument just in different ways at each other. Exchange felt too long, I was hoping Frank would tie him up, go downstairs, and proceed to shit kick the Dogs of Hell.

Uh... Everything!? It's incredibly dramatic and tense and a joy to see the two actors play off each other like that.
YES he should have shit kicked the dogs of hell because we need more violence GRR

Just got done binge watching episodes one through eight. Overall, I am enjoying it a lot and it is definitely a worthy contender to the first season so far. The episodes feel like they are filled out nicely from this point. And Punisher is absolutely the best part of the season. Jon Bernthal is killing it.
As someone that is not familiar with the comics or any Daredevil media besides this show, I have some questions about the season so far. Episode 8 spoilers:

The impression I get that Elektra is completely toxic to Matt's life in every way possible. She brings the worse out of him. Ever since she came back into his life, Matt has done a good job absolutely destroying his personal life and career in the process. His treatment of Karen, Foggy, and the case has made him really unlikable for me right now. There doesn't seem to be any way he can live a happy life when she is around. Is this more or less how their relationship works in the comic? I just want a simple explanation that doesn't spoil anything for later episodes.

As with season 1, it falls short of what I wish it was, but still, it's decent television (and high above the majority of superhero tv shows).
Just wish it could fulfill its true potential...

To be fair I think Ray Stevenson and Thomas Jane could do this performance decently as well if they had it but yeah Bernthal fits it to a t and it helps that he's had by far the best interpretation of the punisher on screen
On episode 4 right now and I'm really enjoying this. Way more than the initial episodes of daredevil season 1 even. The punisher really jumpstarted the season with
that terminator like appearance in the first episode
If they stick the landing, hopefully, he's on track to be the best mcu character for me
Always loved the max series from ennis. Although I really enjoyed Warzone it's nice to see an adaptation of punisher that is self serious and not campy without being straight trash like the Jane film
Hopefully if they do bring back stick he only has one episode. He's fun but I don't want none of that shit fucking up this damn good vibe the season has going so far.

Just finished Episode 4. Quick thoughts:
That end fight in Episode 3 was fucking OFF THE CHAIN. They really outdid themselves.
Debra Ann Woll is still fine as hell.
The main trio are good as usual.
Jon Bernthal IS Frank Castle. He absolutely nailed the character. I love his take on Castle. He's not fully gone, you can tell he's still human, you know. Episode 4 spoilers:
He absolutely nails the pathos and tragedy of the character. And the action scenes with him are so fucking awesome. The fight style, like a tank.
And I love the character tic of calling Daredevil, "Red". That's awesome.
Episode 3's confrontation was fantastically done as well.
I have one pressing question though:
Oh, and by the way, this ain't motherfucking "PG-16" no more. The (Episode 4 spoilers)
firmly shoves this series into R-rated territory.

I have one pressing question though:
How on earth did no one connect the dots that Frank Castle, former decorated Marine, whose family was murdered in Central Park, is The Punisher? Like... the media? Why isn't a massacre of a family in Central Park like news that Matt is aware of? Why are people in suits trying to cover it up? What did the DA do?

Karen needs more chill. She's a nervous wreck 24/7.

God, that is a fucking difficult one.
Well, you'd marry Claire. Elektra would try to kill you at some point, and Karen is a hot mess.
Probably kill Karen. Fuck Elektra. But you don't stick your dick in crazy, so swap those two.
Just finished Season 2. I can't express how much it blew me away. Hell, it was even better than the first season.

I legit cried during Punisher's monologue in Episode 4.
[*]R.I.P. Elektra? I honestly didn't see that coming. -
Speaking of stuff that I didn't expect, maybe we'll see Nelson in Jessica Jones Season 2?
Foggy has a massive pair, gotta give him props for that.
I'm interested to see what they do with him in Jessica Jones Season 2.
Your question will get answered as you keep watching. Big part of the story for the character

One thing still bugging me 6 episodes into S2 is how Daredevil fights with his escrima sticks.
He still just punches or pounds on bad guys while the sticks just sit in his hands.
drum on those guys a bit.
