Review By Kamal K
Daredevil season 2 is almost as good as season 1 was. The acting, action and dialogue remain just as strong as they were in the first season. The story and villain are where this season falters a bit from season 1. In season 2, the story gets more complicated since there are multiple plotlines going on and it can be a bit difficult to keep track of everything once the season really gets going. The season manages to balance these plotlines decently enough, but it can get confusing at times. The bigger issue with this season is the villain. Unlike season 1, Fisk isn't the primary villain this time, although he does appear in the season. Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle is a bit of a villain, but the true antagonist is the organization called The Hand. Bernthal does a fine job portraying Castle and embodies the violent nature of the character very well. While Castle starts off as the show's villain, he becomes overshadowed by The Hand. Unfortunately, neither villain lives up to the bar set by Fisk, causing season 2 to feel like a bit of a letdown from season 1 despite The Hand being a better antagonist than Castle is. The season mostly recovers from this and gives us an ending that nicely culminates all the plotlines and lays the foundation for future storytelling and development. DD season 2 may not be as good as season 1 is, but it still has its merits and is worth watching if you're a fan of the character.
