THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS.
Hello readers,
I know I wrote a review on Daredevil back in May last year, but I thought it didn't reflect what I remembered and therefore, I shall be writing a new review based on the latest Season Two. Again, I don't have to introduced the cast because almost all of them remained the same, except there are latest additions like Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher and Elodie Yung as Elecktra.
Similarly like its Season One, Daredevil never fails to exceed its expectation including the well choreographed fight scenes. Some people have made comparison on how this latest season did not make much impact as the previous one because there is no character who matches the same aura that Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk had. One aspect that made me satisfied with this Season Two was The Punisher. The moment when the scene was cut to him walking in the hospital, I was scared as shit. I couldn't imagined how it feels to have a tall guy with such violence, walking about in the building to find the specific target.
Unlike Season One, the minor flaws in this latest season were quite obvious. There were times where Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil almost slipped off the English accent, especially when he tried to explain his rationale to a character (I can't remember who he/she was). There were also times which I feel Matt Murdock wasn't a blind man because his actions and reactions were similar to a normal person's. It is likely I am thinking way off the chart, but nevertheless this season was good. (We still get to explored Matt's frustration between the good and bad, the righteous and wrong.)
In my opinion, excluding the romances and Matt's sorting of priorities problem, Season Two for Daredevil was still enjoyable. I like the addition of The Punisher and if I remembered clearly, Netflix has already got plans for this character, so it is interesting how The Punisher is going proceed with a new journey ahead. Any fans or viewers who happened to watch Jessica Jones will be pretty much excited for what is going to happened after Season Two since Nelson & Murdock's office is just opposite Alias Investigations (Jessica's office). Lastly, how is The Hand going proceed from Season Two with Elektra possibly getting revived in that stone coffin (?).
So if you haven't watch or catch up Daredevil, do yourself a favour and start making plans for both seasons. Also, if you haven't noticed, Netflix released a teaser for upcoming future The Defenders member's series, Luke Cage which is slated to release on September 30, 2016. :)
