After episode two there is no doubt that this show continues on the level of the original. Fisks first days as mayor he learns that it is not easy to push his agenda. Especially his relationship to Vanessa is a problem. His absence for years broke it. Now he wants to fix it and therefore goes to the therapist Murdock is dating. This will be interesting.

He also meets the daughter of the journalist he killed in the original show. I am curious what they will make out of that. And then Fisk does Fisk things. The commisioner threatens him to do everything to get him out of service and later resigns his office, but Fisk was prepared. He uses his not legal son to blackmail him. Incredible, after a few days he already has them in his pocket!

In the meantime Murdock takes a new client who turns out to be the White Tiger vigilante. There is clearly a conspiracy behind it, the cops are tring to kill a witness so Murdock has to let the devil out and kills them!

Daredevil will be born again. It is inevitable.

Whose idea's was to put over-the-top Bollywood/Jason Bourne-esque grotesque cuts in the middle of good action ??? All the scenes, even if minimalistic, were honestly not bad. But somehow someone thought it would be a good idea to mask those scenes with a thousand cuts, making them disgusting to look at, it's just horrible, there was absolutely no need to do that after episode one. That factor unfortunately deems the episode BAD in the action department, this was truly truly atrocious, whoever directed this should not come back to any future marvel projets, especially ones with hand-on-hand brawls that require good actors, stunt doubles, coreography and directing to work, this was an immense disappointment after the first 3 seasons and episode one. Can't give it more than a seven with that insane butchering of one of the serie's main premises ( fighting )

Not gonna lie, I wasn't a fan of the first episode and in my review of it, I left it so. However this episode is a major improvement over the first, dialogues are more nuanced, things the characters do are far deeper reaching making connections to the greater narrative, fight scenes and fight choreography are amazing, almost reminiscent of the original netflix show in their executions.

Twists and turns everywhere in the story, show returning to its grittier and darker roots when to comes to storytelling and action.

A bit of wishful thinking, if only the entire season released at once, sucks waiting for new episodes after a banger like this.

The second episode feels more like part of what they couldn't re-record. If you were aware of the situation before, it was originally going to focus more on lawyers than vigilantes, and this episode kind of reflects that.

I'm not a fan of Daredevil being so obvious about his identity, unlike how he was in the Netflix show. He feels more like the She-Hulk version of Daredevil than the one from Netflix. I get that it's something new, but I'm still waiting for the show to truly kick off.

As for Matt's new girlfriend, without taking anything away from the actress, she has no personality. She seems to come out of nowhere, and she's kind of like the new Karen-in big quotation marks.

The fact that the characters still feel somewhat scattered makes sense, given that the series is just getting started. And sure, the excuse that it's a new show works-especially if you're expecting it to be a fourth season of the Netflix show, which it's clearly not.

The final scene was solid-good action-but once again, this Daredevil feels a lot like Tom Holland's Peter Parker. He doesn't do a great job keeping his identity secret, and that's strange to see, especially considering how in the previous series, he was so committed to keeping it hidden. He would even take beatings from Fisk and other secondary characters just to maintain the illusion that he was blind in public.

Yes, I know there's a scene in prison in Netflix Daredevil Season 3 where he fights a bunch of inmates, but they didn't know he was blind. In this case, it just didn't work as well.

Overall, the series still feels very fast-paced.

MASS-

Thanks for less music. Its a necessary thing, "less music" in the background so that audience could grasp what characters are actually saying, its called building tension. Second episode focuses on Matt's present. Really like the girl who's portraying the therapist. Reminds me of Matt's mother found in DD season 3 . Little Soprano is Adorable and same thing can be applied to bb news . Its important for the story to take pace now that Fisk says he's a changed man .

He said it even standing besides Vennessa He wouldn't kill (someone) Venessa got in with Yes , i am taking Matt's side . The dude Playing White Tiger is Acting really well . He's showing every sign of a struggling vigilantes..

Matthew Murdoch 's quoting Church Agaaain! Oof what a relief, i hope that part stays present in a little manner every episode. This episode feels much more natural than the episode 1 .

They added no flying cgi in it Action was there only at the end . That was pretty quick & neat af.
