Great news... season 2 was definitely a step down from the stellar first season, but the Punisher storyline was strong enough to make up for other weaknesses imo. I'm hoping that they're adapting or at least integrating elements from Frank Miller's Born Again story since the end of season 2 kind of opened up the door for that to happen.

As I pretty much gave up on the shows after the awful The Defenders and pretty bad The Punisher, do I need to catch myself back up with Luke Cage S2/Jessica Jones S2/Iron Fist S2 before watching this? Any relevant Daredevil info in those?
Because Daredevil is the one truly great show out of the bunch and I'd hate to miss out on the third season (also I hate how they all have to be connected, Marvel is such a cash-grab) just because I need to watch the others first.

Fingers crossed. Not a big fan of season 2. The first 3rd of it was great with The punisher storyline. Then the show was decent enough, but I never got into The Hand storyline much. And by the last few episodes, I was just bored by the villains and contrivances and just didn’t care. But when the show is good, it’s really good. At least, there’ll hopefully be a cool long-take fight to look forward to.

Finished episode four. That prison fight is fantastic. The show has amped up it's visual game but the pacing is a bit slow this time.

Honestly? no one's watching it? There's a 11 min one-take fight scene in there that you shouldn't miss.

Was originally planning on going Samsung, but I got this one for a better price. Definitely beats having to watch movies on my laptop, which I've been doing for the past year.

I watch movies and shows mostly on my laptop but when i go home for the weekend i switch to the 50 inch Sony 4K TV. It's incredible.

It's a huge, a huge step-up from season 2. The Punisher/Karen storyline was by far the only thing that interested me that year, but now DD had me on the edge of my seat. It's such a good thing that they let go off the mystic storyline and focused hard on the crime plot.
Cox fits the Murdock part like a glove. He hits all the right notes in the more intimate moments, and brings the same level intensity to the fight scenes. And good god, the action jusr gets better and better.
Fisk's character is frustrating, tho. It made me very angry how well things would turn out to him all long season - which is a good thing, 'cause that's what we were supposed to do. I was also very surprised by the lady who plays Vanessa and Wilson Bethel (very promising).
Foggy played a more likable part in the season, I admit I always found him to be kind of annoying but I like him now. But we gotta admit: Karen is still the best character of the show. I like DAW since True Blood, and here she truly shines as she's given something to sink her teeth into (pun intended). Her episode was so, so moving and engaging. Behind just Ritter in JJ, easily the best performance in the MCU.
Some things put me off. I really disliked how they introduced the flashbacks and "inner demons". The B&W filter is very tacky and the whole strategy to show Fisk and other characters as a display to Murdock's "thoughts" was CW-level lazy writing.
I'd give it a 8/10.

Yeah, this was a definite improvement over season 2, so much so that I think this might be my favorite season so far. The way they adapted aspects of Miller's Born Again story was great, I really liked how the season not only continued to probe moral issues, but also Matt's spiritual crisis, and I loved what they did with Bullseye. The writing overall was really strong, with compelling new supporting characters, and while I read complaints about the first few episodes being slow, I was absorbed from beginning to end. This season had scope, but felt way more focused and cohesive than the last. I really hope they at least adapt parts of the Bendis/Maleev run for the next season since that seems like the logical place to go next given the conclusion of this season.

Another terrific season and arguably the best season of this show. Started off as a bit slow but things got going on from the 11 min one-take action scene but it's the sixth episode where everything comes off as perfect. The fake Daredevil is a mixed bag for me. He was great one minute and not much the next. Special Agent Ray Nadeem was the surprise package this season. Really liked his character and i rooted for him even though his character graph took many turns.
Karen got an excellent one episode of backstory which i think could work well for a standalone indie film. It's amazing that they did her backstory quite effectively at the middle part of the season. Really good writing.
Wilson Fisk was dearly missed last season even though we got Frank Castle that time but the wasn't a part of this story and that irked me then and i'm glad Fisk is back and his character elevated the show.
With all of this it's obvious that Matt/Daredevil got less screen time but there's a bit of good character development from his part even if it's little. It added to what he really is and now that he is happy balancing his alter-ego.
To be honest I'm content with the show thus far and be happy if they bid goodbye to the show with this season but not i'm not gonna complain if they continue. The last shot of Poindexter is a clear sign that the makers are wanting to continue the show. He is now officially Bullseye?

Damn, that sucks. I was hoping season 4 would adapt the Bendis/Maleev storyline next, but I guess it's good that show goes out on a high note.

Just curious cause I haven't been following what Disney has planned . I don't think they will renew it for a new season. I've read somewhere on Reddit that Disney will move their matured content to Hulu since they own some percentage of it.
