Minor spoilers ahead
As far as comic series goes, Daredevil season 1 raised the bar pretty high over it's TV competition bu how did season 2 do? Daredevil season 2 picks up with Matt Murdock's struggling law firm after the high profile case against Wilson Fisk from the first season. With our trio struggling to make ends meet, a brash of gang related murders puts a threat on our heroes and the residents of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil is an amazingly well developed character but Karen Page and his partner in law, Foggy, play pivotal roles in this season. We seem them both put themselves in peril and pick up the slack that Matt Murdock is leaving behind trying to balance his dual lives. This is only becomes a bigger conflict when new characters, Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher, and former lover Elektra Nachios appear on the scene. The best part about these new characters is their roles are a lot larger than we were intially led to believe, almost the entire story involves The Punisher and the repercussions of his vigilante mission against those who harmed his family. This involves our dark hero in a political scandal that leads to some major tension for our trio. Elektra's story line is a bit more convoluted, involving a handful of returning characters from season 1, both good and bad. There's a big reveal about her relationship with both Matt Murdock as well as a mutual accomplice that changes the tone of the season dramatically. Daredevil spares none this time around when it comes to violence, letting The Punisher have easily some of the most brutal scenes throughout. To their credit, one of Daredevil's strength's is the extremely well choreographed fight scenes making it almost impossible to find a dull moment. There's some big twist at the end that echo implications ahead for the Devil of Hell's Kitchen and I'm sure it's not the last we're going to see of certain returning villains from season 1 either. In terms of structure, one can only hope Daredevil continues to get it's own series but, with the planned Defender series coming after Iron Fist and Luke Cage set to debut this fall, we might not see our masked hero for awhile. Full of great characters, insane fight scenes, and a dark story, Daredevil season 2 is a big step up from the first, both in plot and action and one you can't miss.
