Daredevil Season 2 Review
Hello, readers! So I just finished season 2 of Marvel’s ‘Daredevil’ on Netflix, and I’m blown away.
I really loved season 1 and how they setup Matt Murdock’s Daredevil. His personal relationships and struggles become interwoven with his vigilante-crime-fighting-style and made for a great season.
The acting in season 2 was elevated as well as the character development, fleshing out each character and giving us more of an inside view to their motivations.
Season 1 had an incredible hallway fight scene that I thought couldn’t be topped. It certainly was, however, with a crazy stairwell fight. The fight scenes in season 2 are choreographed superbly and the action and brutality makes the story stronger. The beauty in the show is it’s simplicity. The budgets for series like this are a drop in the bucket compared to big screen adaptations. But the special effects in this season are phenomenal and flow greatly with the plotlines.
In keeping up with MCU style, we got to see and hear references to other characters from the Netflix-verse. Characters seen in 2015′s ‘Jessica Jones’ and even ‘Agents of Shield’. The Netflix series do a better job of very subtly hinting at the greater MCU than AoS.
The addition of John Bernthal’s Punisher was simply amazing. The Punisher was intense, brutal, and ultra-violent, but you also got a look into the mind of the mad man and really got to understand the character. I’ll be super pumped to see him in his own future series.
More seeds were planted for the future Netflix series, with ‘Luke Cage’ coming later this year and ‘Iron Fist’ coming next year. The character Elektra was great. She was the one person that could always get into Matt Murdock’s head and her plotlines are strong.
Overall, I really enjoyed this season. 2016 has been an incredible year for super hero movies and content, with movies like ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ already upon us and many more incredible films to come later this year from both Marvel and DC.
Daredevil Season 2 rating: 8 out of 10
