Straight to Hell

A title with multiple meanings...

Of course, the good news is that Karen Paige actually did return.

But there's also the revelation that Vanessa Fisk had her nasty hands in a lot of very bad things.

A political ally, is revealed to be a traitor-ess.

Heather shows her true colors. No bueno.

And Josie's unveils a new (old) undertaking.

All in all a very good episode. The cuts to city life and several peripheral characters is handled well, and a big improvement from the handheld cam interviews from early episodes.

Matt has fully embraced his role as Daredevil, and, with the return of his true muse, regained his sense of self and humanity.

Jon Bernthal plays his scenes very well, and added the interesting perspective of "this is what you could end up being" for Matt.

One of the better episodes of the season, and a near perfect fit with the vibe created in the original Netflix series.

Easily, one of, if not the best Marvel series that Disney has produced.

Moving soundtrack as well.

Well set up for season two.

Finally, after weeks of intense episodes, we've reached the end.

The ninth episode of #DaredevilBornAgain had a tough job. This season gave us A LOT to deal with, and I was genuinely worried that it wouldn't stick the landing or set up the future properly-but I'm glad to say I was wrong.

Thank god the original showrunners returned for the finale and delivered one of the best endings we've seen in a Marvel Studios series.

The dialogues, the cinematography, the battle scenes, the gore, the ending-yep, that's how you end a series.

I seriously can't wait to see what they do with season 2. This was just... amazing.

Almost all of my reservations and concerns have been settled; the show I love is back in a big way. Season One of Born Again may have been a little uneven due to its unfortunate production issues, but by its final episodes it has proved to be an immensely gripping drama that continues the story of Daredevil (and some of his acquaintances) through an exciting and compelling narrative. Jon Bernthal is absolutely phenomenal as Frank Castle, and Charlie Cox continues to be an undeniable force in front of the camera. Wonderful performances all around.

This episode serves as an excellent conclusion to this first chapter of Born Again. It's a satisfying experience in its own right that neatly sets the stage for whatever comes from Season Two. Well done!

Frank is a total animal in this and i love it seeing michael gandolfini becoming this character has been a ride and i love it. Newark did him dirty but he's really got the opportunity to show off his acting chops in this and i am so happy for him.

There were moments where i had my jaw on the floor.

I think marvel is really embracing the r rating and the violence and the truly violent nature of the characters like fisk and castle.

They even went a step ahead with fisk's violence and i loved it.

I also appreciated the deep conversations and the little banter between frank and matt.

Jon bernthal as the punisher is.... i have no words.

Also looking back i think the entire muse plotline was rather unnecessary.

This is a great set up for the second season.

Everyone who was able to see this episode early was hyping this thing up. Saying it was the best episode of the entire show and it will surprise you.

I did not get that whatsoever with this episode, I still enjoyed my time with it a lot and there's a lot of things I love! But it's nowhere near the best of the show.

My option, this is probably one of the weaker episodes of this entire season.

I can say the punisher was by far the best part, he's just like the character that he was before, he brings his graphic violence with him. And overall, it's just the exact same character!

I'm excited to see what season two has to bring, this episode had a lot to offer with the story and continuing on and wrapping up certain plot points. I'm interested in to where they want to go. I also need them to fix a lot of problems that I had with this season and this episode!
