What I’m Watching: Daredevil (Season Finale)

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 13 “A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen” (B)

This season ender was definitely dark, underscoring Daredevil as the hero who has to exist but does so in the shadows because of the evil that exists in his city. I’ve mentioned over and over this season that I’m so much less interested in everything involving the Hand, but fortunately most of that was put to rest in this hour, save for the lamentable coda that shows that Elektra isn’t going to stay dead for long and has still fallen into enemy hands. I do like Elektra, and I think she was a strong asset for this season, particularly as she interacted with Matt and tried to draw out his dark side. His offer to come with her when she was facing certain death was generous, and it complicates his feelings for Karen. That said, it was great to see him show Karen the Daredevil mask without any prompting, deciding that he’s lied to her for too long and needs to be honest with her going forward. She held it together well when she got captured along with everyone else Daredevil had saved, and she was the reason that he was able to find them. She remains this show’s best overall character, with Frank Castle the standout of this season. I’m also glad to see that Foggy took a positive turn, earning himself a very competitive offer from one Jeryn Hogarth, who spends most of her time on the fantastic “Jessica Jones.” Matt got to a good place with Stick, and maybe we’ll see a whole new storyline going into season three with Matt spending most of his time as Daredevil, Foggy living the corporate life, and Karen working as a reporter. I’m still set to stick around for this show, which likely won’t be back until 2018, and I’m eager to see how this universe lives on in “The Defenders” and in the spinoff commissioned to focus on none other than the Punisher.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 12 “The Dark at the End of the Tunnel” (B)

I’m still not entirely sure that I get what’s going on with Stick, the Hand, and Elektra, but it seems like we’ve made some decent progress in this episode that played out in a cool way. Leave it to Matt to decide that he still needed to save Stick even though he might be a deplorable villain, and for Elektra to be another party in the whole debacle with a completely different attitude, with all of them needing to band together to save themselves from certain death. Stick whispering and talking Matt through how to fight his captors was pretty awesome, and I like that dynamic. Elektra threatening to cut someone in half if he called her “it” again was a tense moment, and now Daredevil has become a main target of the Hand. Clancy Brown’s Colonel Schoonover seemed like Frank’s number one defender, but as always seems to be the case, he was up to much more nefarious things that only came to light when Karen stopped by to poke around for information. Frank showed up to save the day by crashing his car into Karen’s, and, once again, Karen couldn’t stop Frank from exercising justice the way he saw fit and executing Schoonover, who also happened to be the Blacksmith, something that links these plotlines in a way that isn’t quite satisfying enough for me but which I hope will be rectified in the season finale in a way that sets up a strong and compelling season three.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 11 “.380” (B)

It’s no surprise that the two major plotlines are starting to converge, with Matt’s investigation into the people he used to know and their operations in Hell’s Kitchen tying in directly with the Blacksmith, who is now the object of Frank’s pursuit. I’m all for the conversations that Frank is having with a baseball cap on in the diner with Karen, telling her that he is well aware that she loves Matt despite her many protestations. I like that the two of them challenge each other and that they can actually debate things, including the merits of having a partner who you can get that passionate about. Transitioning from that into a pre-staged gun battle was a firm reminder that Frank can’t live a normal life, and that the fight is far from over. That also helped paved the way for the latest interaction between Daredevil and Frank in which Frank responded to the assertion that “Maybe just this once, your way is what it’s going to take” with the hard truth that it doesn’t work that way. Elektra finding Stick ties in to the plot in some way, but I’m going to need that part to be wrapped up soon if I’m going to maintain interest. I’m glad to see that Claire didn’t go quietly and instead quit her job after the board refused to even acknowledge that a colleague was murdered in front of her so that they could instead accept the hush money from an anonymous donor. I’m not sure how she’ll continue to play into the storyline, but I think she’s a great character who really belongs in this show’s universe.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 10 “The Man in the Box” (B+)

This episode opened very grimly with the sight of all these prisoners and Daredevil talking to his cop friend, but things got much, much worse and plenty creepier by the end of the episode with the seemingly possessed children moving to take over the hospital while the ninjas were climbing up the outside of the building. It was good to see Claire again, annoyed as usual that Matt had sent them all there but hardly surprised since she is one of the few people he can truly trust. The biggest shock of the episode was when, just moments after Reyes and her previously loyal henchman Blake admitted to having set up a sting and determined that the park shouldn’t be cleared so as not to tip off the parties involved, the whole office got riddled with bullets and she ended up dead. It seems more than clear that Frank isn’t responsible for this, particularly because he would never threaten someone’s child, and his presence at Karen’s apartment at the end of the episode and their shared near-death experience all but confirms it. Hopefully Matt, Foggy, and Ellison will come to their senses and realize that they have to back the right horse to help protect Karen, whose life is in extreme danger. Elektra doesn’t seem to be doing too well either, but now that she realizes she’s marked for death, she can hopefully be exactly the ally that Matt needs. They have a lot of work to do, and she could come in very handy right now. Matt going up against Fisk and being tossed around like a rag doll was a disturbing sight, especially because it indicates that there’s no end in sight for Matt even if he manages to defeat the two latest actionable threats trying to put him out of business for good.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 9 “Seven Minutes in Heaven” (B+)

Well, in this case it was totally worth bringing back a character from season one. The opening scene helped to establish what Fisk has been up to all this time, learning that life on the inside isn’t quite so grand if you’re not the head honcho. Having the Punisher brought to him to deal with the nuisance posed by William Forsythe’s kingpin seemed like a good idea, and Frank wasn’t too impressed by Fisk’s attempts to be sympathetic. The guards trapping Frank with all the inmates who wanted to kill him seemed like it might mean Frank’s time was up, but of course he managed to kill every single one of them singlehandedly, and then earned himself a release by walking out the front door in riot gear. Karen is making extraordinary strides as a journalist, and her discovery of the sting operation – timed with Frank learning of this too – was substantially dramatic and intriguing. Telling Foggy that she doesn’t need to be warned was the second most powerful personal-professional interaction of the hour, behind Matt being upfront with Foggy and telling him that he’s done apologizing for who he is. I’m much less interested in whatever it is that Matt has stumbled upon as part of his revenge mission against Stick. It would be helpful if he had his head in the game, if only to be able to depend on some ally other than going it all on his own, disregarding and alienating Elektra, Foggy, Karen, and anyone else who might try to help him.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 8 “Guilty as Sin” (B)

This episode redirected the plot in a major way, one that I’m not entirely sure I’m behind. I remember Scott Glenn’s Stick from season one and had all but forgotten about him as one of the precious few well aware of Matt Murdock’s capabilities. Having him show up to save the day when Matt and Elektra were about to be face certain death at the hands of the Yakuza was cool, but it turns out that he’s much more involved than anyone realized. The notion that Elektra tried to turn Matt into something he wasn’t because she’s been working for Stick all along is intriguing, as is the fact that she wants to be with Matt but can’t help her need to kill when her instinct tells her to. That to me is much more interesting than the fairy tale that Stick told Matt which I feel like might dominate the storyline for the near future. I’m also very into the extreme hostility that both Foggy and Karen are throwing at Matt as he managed to show up for very little of the case and mess things up by inciting Frank to confess unapologetically to enjoying all his kills. Having him escorted through a maximum-security prison to meet with one Wilson Fisk is definitely a twist, and something tells me that the man who hates Daredevil more than anything is going to want to enlist the number one new vigilante in town to help exact some revenge on the masked man who got him sent to prison. I’m not sure how the Punisher can help with that at the moment, but I’m sure we’ll find out in the next episode – this show is not too subtle.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 7 “Semper Fidelis” (B+)

This episode started with a cool montage of potential jurors expressing very different opinions about the Punisher and about whether he was a menace to society or just the vigilante that the city needs. There’s an interesting public nature to this whole trial and the showmanship that’s involved that contrasts greatly with the intricacies of the case which are saved for the privacy of just the judge and the lawyers. I like that Karen and Matt had their own little conversation about the Punisher and the ethics of what he does, and they came out on very different sides of it, with Karen defending him and equating what he does to what Daredevil does. The most worrisome news of the hour was that the doctor who spontaneously confessed to having altered the autopsy reports did so only because he had been threatened by a masked woman, causing his entire testimony – and the fact that he had been compelled to lie – to be thrown out. Matt was rightfully angry with Elektra for that, and she seems to have no qualms about disrupting the case in a major way. The most scathing judgment was reserved for Matt from his good friend Foggy, who insisted that he, and not Elektra, was the problem, unable to fully invest in what is supposed to be taking precedence in his life. Distinguishing between Karen the coworker and Karen the girlfriend is also becomingly increasingly difficult for our hero, and neither one of those people are terribly happy with him right now.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 6 “Regrets Only” (B+)

Elektra is quite the character, pulling down her mask and asking Matt if he was hungry after the big opening fight sequence. At first, Matt was very resistant to her plan, constantly judging her and being sarcastic in a way that he isn’t with anyone else in his life. Scoffing at her rule that they can’t have sex was funny, but it seems that she’s intent on dominating his life in a big way that he’s not ready for given everything else that he has going on. They do make a pretty terrific team, and thinking fast to pretend that they were having sex was a smart and effective move. Elektra is into some dangerous staff, and the two of them are only going to be lucky for so long before they get into serious trouble. I thought that the Punisher getting caught was going to be the last we saw of him, but instead we get a much more interesting new direction for things to go in. We previously saw the Punisher talking openly to Daredevil about his family and his suffering, and now we get to see Frank Castle the person thanking Karen for helping him to remember and then going against the decision for him to plead guilty and entering the opposite plea, making way for a major trial that is likely to dominate the rest of the season. Matt and Karen’s date was awkward at first, but it was really nice to see them revel in simplicity and enjoy the beautiful ceiling whose images Karen conveyed to Matt.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 5 “Kinbaku” (B+)

This season is all about the exposition, which is a nice treat considering how slowly the first season moved along. There are a lot of new characters being introduced, but from what I’ve seen so far, they’re well worth it. Elektra entered Matt’s life at a point where he was hardly the saint that he is now, and it was interesting to see just how much of their interactions were driven by him rather than her. Elektra recognizing Matt’s ability to see and enjoying with him so many adventures laced with illegal activity was relatively harmless and petty fun, but when Elektra prepared the man who killed Matt’s father to be tortured and then killed to help Matt realize who he really was, it became something altogether different and much more dangerous. That event explains why Matt wasn’t eager to get in bed with Elektra when she suddenly showed up, and the end of the episode once again changed things in a big way, as Elektra donned her own disguise after revealing that she had brought what Matt probably thought was his little secret. Foggy did a tremendous job of standing up to intimidation from the district attorney’s office, and I enjoyed the reference to one Jessica Jones who exists in the same universe. Karen made enormous progress in her search for the truth about the Punisher, and at this point she doesn’t seem to be digging deep in a way that’s going to immediately put her in grave danger again.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 4 “Penny and Dime” (B+)

Now we’re getting somewhere. The start of this episode didn’t impress me all that much, with an Irish mobster showing up to continue this show’s unapologetic brutality and show his minions that he wasn’t going to rest until the Punisher was on his knees in front of him awaiting his execution. What this episode was primarily about was understanding Frank Castle and exactly who he is. He seemed more than ready to take on the entire Irish mob with his bare hands and his gun after they figured out where he was, and he nearly did that before he was taken down by a very high number of shots that were supposed to incapacitate him. While he was being tortured, he seemed normal, and he did what his tormentor would expect him to do, which was to tell him where the money was. That turned out to be a trap, of course, and he managed to cut his bonds and take out those who had tried to kill him and his dog. Daredevil’s arrival as he was escaping was the best part of the episode, since it found them working together toward a common goal with different views on how it should be done. Hearing Frank’s story about coming home and seeing his daughter was extremely compelling, and Jon Bernthal was definitely a great choice to play the Punisher. Daredevil insisting upon the police getting the credit for his collar was great, and it’s nice to see the emphasis on law and order. On a lighter note, it’s good to see Matt and Karen getting close, even if it means that Foggy is now the third wheel.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 3 “New York’s Finest” (B+)

This was a cool episode, though it certainly did feel like it lasted forever just like the last hour. What was really interesting about this episode is that it permitted us an audience with the killer we’ve just seen and barely heard up until now. Matt waking up chained up by the Punisher was not a promising start, but our new villain was feeling very chatty and more than happy to spell out his reasons for doing what he does. Not taking off Matt’s mask made some sense since he really doesn’t care who he is, and his continued reference to him as Red made the conversation seem much more casual than it should have been. Arguing that they do the same thing but Matt doesn’t go far enough was certainly thought-provoking, and the notion of the two of them talking is still what’s most involving for me. Matt bursting out of his chains made for quite the finale, and his beating of the bikers the Punisher incited was quite brutal, something that I’m sure the Punisher will celebrate. Foggy did a spectacular job breaking up the fight in the hospital, showing his lawyer skills at their very best and earning him some credit from an overworked and stressed Claire. Karen is making some progress fighting the close-minded and apparently corrupt D.A. and she now seems to have found something very useful that indicates that there is something seriously wrong with the Punisher that could explain his penchant for killing.

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 2 “Dogs to a Gunfight” (B)

I’ll be honest – I didn’t remember a thing about what happened in this show’s season premiere. This installment helped to firm things up by dwelling on the intense and frightening new villain who was only named halfway through the episode. I think that Jon Bernthal, who played Shane on “The Walking Dead,” is a great choice to play the Punisher, who barely appeared or even spoke in this hour other than to decide that he needed to take out the trash when a clerk trying to sell him child pornography. Foggy did a fine job standing up to the district attorney to protect their client, but there wasn’t much hope of saving him from the start. What was most interesting about this lengthy, relatively slow episode was the way that Karen responded to the reports of what the Punisher was doing. Calling him inevitable was particularly powerful, and saying that he could be any one of them was haunting and true. Matt knows that Daredevil isn’t bad, but the way that his vigilantism was applauded did frame the notion of justice in a problematic way for villains to misuse. The knowledge that one man can take on so many police officers with no problem is not good, and the fact that Matt seems to be losing his other senses is very bad news. I’m intrigued to see where this show goes in this season, though the pacing does need to pick up a bit to keep me truly interested.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil (Season Premiere)

Daredevil: Season 2, Episode 1 “Bang” (B)

It took me all the way to July last year to get through this show’s first season, which I felt took a long time to really get going, and I could barely remember any of it when I sat down to watch this premiere. I remember liking the show more by the end than I did at the beginning, and being intrigued enough to continue watching if only because I liking being up on all the Marvel shows headed for a big Netflix crossover series soon (I still have two episodes left of the far superior “Jessica Jones” that I’m eager to watch). This premiere started very strongly, reintroducing Daredevil as a hero who operates in the shadows, handling the filth of the city that the police aren’t adept enough to deal with and ensuring that the streets are safe even if they’re not brightly lit. With Wilson Fisk out of the picture, we got a formidable new enemy in this hour in the form of whoever took out an entire room of vengeful potential villains and the intense soldier who marched through the hospital determined to take out his target. I can’t imagine they’ll match Fisk, though he was also overplayed a bit by the always dedicated and intense Vincent D’Onofrio. I like seeing both Foggy and Karen take initiative to push the envelope and dig deep as their firm is going under financially, and while it will be an uphill battle, I trust that the crafty Matt, who seems to be in a good mood lately despite having so many messes to clean up, will come up with a creative solution sooner rather than later. As soon as I’m all caught up with my regularly airing shows, I’ll continue watching this one each week as I usually do with Netflix shows.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil (Season Finale)

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 13 “Daredevil” (B)

Does anyone else feel like the amount of plot development contained in this one hour could have been better served being spread throughout the entire season? I guess that’s why this show was designed to be binge-watched, since most watched it back in April and didn’t wait nearly three months to see the man in the mask finally dawn his admittedly silly costume and take down the beast that is Wilson Fisk. Matt has become pretty cocky in the time since he first rescued Karen, and egging Fisk on to engage in hand-to-hand combat was an unnecessary show of theatrics that could well have backfired. Regardless of the grandstanding of his performance, there’s no denying that Fisk was an effective villain for this season. Killing Leland even knowing that he had dirt on him ready to be released showed just how furious a temper he has, and it’s a good thing that Vanessa survived this whole ordeal with nothing more than a broken heart to count among her wounds. The end of the episode felt very bow-wrapped and festive, and I’m intrigued to see where season two of this show might go, with Foggy as Matt’s loyal confidante and Karen his unsuspecting assistant. This first season was slow but sometimes got to where it needed to be, and it’s the kind of superhero story that I tend to enjoy, so I imagine that, unless the landscape of television is much different than it is now, I’ll be back to experience season two in just this fashion, one episode per week.

Season grade: B
Season MVP: Deborah Ann Woll as Karen

What I’m Watching: Daredevil

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 12 “The Ones We Leave Behind” (B+)

Wilson Fisk has definitely made an impression on the people on this show, and his omnipotence in this hour, appearing to some characters in nightmares and others in real life. Opening with Karen imagining herself being beaten to death by the angry sociopath and closing with Ben actually experiencing it was intense, and it took me a moment to grasp the fact that Ben had really been killed. This show has shown a certain bravery and commitment to its storyline in its two most recent episodes, first having Wesley get killed by Karen and then Wilson himself murdering Ben. The veteran reporter, who finally changed his life for the better and was ready to write a transformative exposé about Fisk, wasn’t my favorite character but he added a sense of dogged passion and persistence to the show that the younger players don’t quite have. His death is going to crush Karen, and she’s having enough trouble holding down the fort with Matt, who dealt with his own demons in this hour, and Foggy not talking to each other. I like that Matt is being encouraged at every turn to transform himself into a bona fide superhero rather than just a masked man, and the title of the season finale, “Daredevil,” is more than promising. At this point, I am happy that I stuck with the show through the season, and I think I’ll leave with a positive attitude towards this show and its potential for the future in season two and beyond.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 11 “The Path of the Righteous” (B+)

I’ll admit that I do now see this first season as a slow-burn origin story, but it’s a good thing that I decided to stick it out since the first half of the season wasn’t enough for me to deem this show worthwhile. This episode was mostly about close character interactions, with Karen and Matt meeting in Matt’s apartment, Claire returning for what feels like a final exchange, and Karen showing up at the bar to chastise Foggy for wallowing in whatever drama he and Matt were having. Interestingly, I think that Karen would be most supportive of Matt’s extracurricular activities since she sees clearly that what she’s doing isn’t working, especially considering the speed and ease with which Wesley found her after she and Ben paid a visit to Wilson’s mother. Wesley taking matters into his own hands and dealing with Karen was intriguing since he’s always much more calculated and calm, but he made the crucial mistake of bringing a loaded gun to threaten someone despite his claims to the contrary. Karen killing him was a shock, and it’s going to severely weaken Wilson, since he’ll think that his trusted advisor has abandoned him and will only get angrier once he learns the truth. I’m curious to see who Karen turns to for help given how two of the three men in her life have sidelined her recently, and let’s hope that our four friends can get it together enough to hit Wilson when he’s at his least ready.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 10 “Nelson v. Murdock” (B)

This show is finally picking up the pace as it follows up the ending of the previous episode in which Foggy discovered that the man in the mask is none other than his best friend Matt with an equally compelling hour that delved into their relationship. Foggy has never been an especially serious character but he has had his moments, mostly his strong defense of the murdered Elena, and now he gets to hold Matt accountable for lying to him for years about his condition. Sticking up his middle finger in front of Matt’s face to get him to confirm that he could see how many fingers he was holding up was an impolite but effective way to convey just how he was feeling, and the flashbacks to the beginning of his friendship with Matt were effective. Once Foggy comes around to the idea of Matt being who he is and the fact that it’s undeniably cool, I think their relationship will work well, but it’s obvious that they’ve hit a rough patch. Karen taking Ben to the nursing home prompted an unexpected surprise in the form of a personal interview with none other than Wilson Fisk’s mother, which should fast-track their exposé in a big way. It’s a bad time to be going after Wilson, of course, since he’s going to raise hell and eviscerate anyone in his path after the apparent death of his beloved Vanessa, who succumbed to the same poison mixed in to the drinks of a number of guests at the function he was attending, suggesting the emergence of a new and very dangerous player in Hell’s Kitchen.

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 9 “Speak of the Devil” (B)

The game has really changed now that Fisk has revealed himself to the public and cast himself as the savior of the city while Daredevil is its scourge. This show is finally revving up and getting ready to head somewhere interesting, though it did spend an awfully large portion of this hour on the Nobu-Matt fight that was inevitably going to be win, albeit by a hair, by our hero. Fisk showing up to ominously proclaim that he tricked the man in the mask into eliminating one of the thorns in his side gave him ample opportunity to do some scenery-chewing, but his enemy wasn’t so easily eliminated by his henchmen thanks to his daring escape through the window. It’s interesting to see how Matt behaves around Ben as he talks to Foggy and Karen about their attempted takedown of Fisk, doing his best to preserve his secret identity but also pleased that they are taking the legal route to topple him rather than something more aggressive. Matt meeting Vanessa and then being introduced to Fisk provided a very intense moment as he nearly lost his cool. Elena’s death is certainly tragic and has egged Foggy on to an uncontrollable fury. This was probably the best way for him to unmask Daredevil and realize that he’s Matt, and I’m so intrigued to see what comes next as they embark upon an undoubtedly uncomfortable conversation about the biggest secret that the blind man has been keeping for quite some time from his best friend.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 8 “Shadows in the Glass” (B)

Now we’re getting somewhere. Matt is finally brought in to the loop regarding Karen and Foggy’s extracurricular activities investigating Union Allied, and he advocates legal measures rather than anything drastic expressly because he is already covering that approach with his masked alternate identity. It’s not going entirely well, of course, since he once again shows up at the perfect moment to be framed for the murder of a police officer, as Detective Blake’s partner administers a fatal syringe to him at Fisk’s bidding. Introducing himself to Ben seemed like a positive step, and Ben was all set to write the most damning article possible, exposing Fisk as someone who purported to be saving the city yet who remained shady and anonymous. The editing of that final scene was extremely well-done, as Fisk announced on TV that he was pledging aid to Hell’s Kitchen and to fighting the “Devil of Hell’s Kitchen,” nervously but proudly saying his own name to the world, which was enough to get Ben to delete his entire article. Fisk’s past was a rough one to be sure, and it didn’t take long for him to go to bullied teenager to murderous son, killing his father, played by Domenick Lombardozzi, when he went after his mother. Vanessa is certainly an ally for Fisk, which makes him all the more dangerous because he can now share his life with someone. I go back and forth on Vincent D’Onofrio’s performance, which I usually find to be magnificently unhinged and over the top.

What I’m Watching: Daredevil

Daredevil: Season 1, Episode 7 “Stick” (B)

There’s something about a guest character that can reinvigorate and refocus a show so completely as he or she takes over an entire episode. Scott Glenn’s Stick did that and more as Stick, the blind instructor who taught Matt to be who he is and to use the abilities he lacked to his advantage. Meeting him mid-decapitation signaled that he wasn’t going to be the kind of ally Matt wanted, someone who would agree not to kill anyone while they were working together. Watching the two blind men fight was certainly enticing as they both employ skills that are pretty visually incredible, and both demonstrate such an expert mastering of their surroundings despite not being able to see. I learned more than I ever would have expected about a vanilla ice cream cone and all the things contained within it, and it’s a truly intriguing perspective on the more insignificant things in life. Stick’s talk of half-measures, reminiscent of “Breaking Bad” midway through its run, emphasized that Matt really has taken the unusual path by not using his talents to become a villain. It’s good to see that Karen is ready and willing to defend him while others such as Foggy want to punch him in the face, though she’ll get herself in more than enough trouble trying to straighten the spaghetti with Ben. I like how Ben has charted out crime in Hell’s Kitchen and cast Fisk as the king and Daredevil as the jack. On a lighter note, I love Karen’s hilariously uncensored language and enjoyed Foggy’s reference to Claire as “Hottie McBurnerphone.”
