The Dark Hearts of Men

I honestly think that The Dark Hearts of Men might be one of the most beautifully put together episodes that Netflix/ Marvel have put together yet. the calm first half of the episode with the rainstorm cleverly builds up to what you get to experience in the last half. 10/10

Say what you want about the realism in some of the action, but this episode was the first of this season that felt perfectly crafted from start to finish. The opening left me intrigued and by the end I was left with a bittersweet taste as Frank's character has started down a new path. This is a great example of the type of excellent writing and direction that elevates this series to Daredevil's for me. Best episode of the season so far but I suspect the best is yet to come.

Josh Stewart also got to stretch his legs a bit too which is always a bonus.

I could easily run out of superlatives for this episode. It starts in a dark place and takes the viewer deeper into the bowels of hell, both psychologically and physically.

With Pilgrim's past revealed, we see the beast within the suit. Josh Stewart's character has taken a back seat in recent episodes but here we see the threat he poses is absolutely real.

Mirroring this is the unexpected evening in which Madani and Krista open a bottle of wine and, it would initially seem, bond. But is anything straight forward?

Castle's attack on Russo's compound is one of the most brutal set pieces to-date and will leave the viewer shellshocked.

A gut punch to the soul.

Russo vs Frank , bill vs Cattle Billy vs Frank, Always the same script since Season 1, I dont understand why after a very very strong start of Season 2, ( 3 great episodes of TV) then the Come back to NYC was the beggining of the end, and the end of creativity.

Steven Seagal (hard to kill era) would've mopped the floor with Castle as depicted in this series. Seagal took everyone down with minimal pulverizing and maximum maiming. To me that was more realistic than this gore fest. Castle isn't super powered. He takes way too much punishment to prevail. I'm a comic nerd from way back but this; jeez I dunno.
