Fight or Flight

A slower episode, this one, more focused on character building and a lot of it set in a motel room. It has its moments and still holds the attention throughout.

Episode two and I'm not sure still where this second season is headed, would like to at least know what the girls running from. She's a bit annoying too, like where are you going to go?

Hindered by the introduction of an underwhelming character and some progression loss, "Fight or Flight" dialled it down to focus on some otherwise compelling drama.

This episode demonstrates why, in my opinion, this series will never reach the heights of Daredevil. While the action and choreography can be just as good at times, the story tends to linger and each episode doesn't progress the plot enough to stand by itself. Episodes 1-10 in season 1 had a similar issue before exploding into action in the final 3 episodes.

Also the supporting cast here, often leaves a lot to be desired as it is always very noticeable when Bernthal is off screen. However, it is far too early for me to judge the new characters so I'll have to wait and see.

All in all It's a great series, and I will continue to watch. But regardless if it's Daredevil or The Punisher, almost every female character is written the same. Egotistical, self-important and willing to get everybody killed because THEY want what THEY want. Consequences be damned. Or is this simply writers confusing arrogance with strength
