It’s a magical place.


Also, I really wish I hadn’t opened the spoiler tag.

Two episodes released this week.

Episode One: Take a break from the main story so Matt Murdock can apply for a loan.
A nice interlude. Could have been boring if it wasn’t so bloody well made.

Episode Two: Under pressure, Murdock and Fisk revert to their true nature.
This is more what viewers want from this show. The editing has been excellent all season, but the way it transitions between the two fights at the end is exceptional.

I understand not everyone is buying into this new show, but for me it’s brilliant TV.

A good episode, though too many convenient coincidences
and a complete waste of the Muse character. They're putting characters in to get the fans on board and then doing nothing with them.
Everyone reveres the original Netflix show, but that completely wasted Elektra. Any adaption of a long running comic to TV or film will do a disservice to some characters.

They seem to have made the decision that there is only one villain that matters in Born Again. I’m ok with that when it’s as good as this.
At the opening of the episode the camera stays on Vincent D'Onofrio’s face when he hears that Daredevil is back, and it’s more effective than any words. I love every moment he is on screen.

Watched the finale at lunchtime.
I know ‘recency bias’ is a thing, but this is the best MCU TV show so far.
There are so many great supporting actors that elevate it.

Criminal gains political office in order to make a fortune. Demands absolute loyalty ahead of integrity. Has no respect for due process.

If you see Trump parallels, that is not the fault of the show.

"the writers of this show are definitely having something to say about Trump and all of that"

"you'd have to be culturally illiterate, you'd have to be just not in touch at all with what's happening in our world to not see the comparisons"

Colton Ogden, Screencrush.
So your opinion is not based on what you’ve watched, but on the opinion of commentators?

It’s very widely accepted and a perfectly reasonable view to take knowing how divisive politics has become in the US and how left leaning most Hollywood script writers are known to be. Strange thing to be so defensive about.

Can’t work out if you are pro Trump and offended by the very obvious comparison to a comic book villain or a bunch of lefties offended by the notion that your views have been forced into and subsequently ruined popular culture.
That does make it sound like you’ve been swept into the Alice in Wonderland view of the world that afflicts modern America.
