I think DDS2 was much better and enjoyable than both DDS1 and LKS1.

You have my axe, DD S2 stuck the landing well enough for me, I just hate the Hand bullshit

Looks good but fully expect ting a plunge in quality half way through the season like the other Marvel Netflix shows. Also they really should just had him buzz his hair off. Looks doofy.
Sorry, I'm with Papa on this one.
I think Daredevil S2 is the best season of Netflix Marvel. While I enjoyed the Punisher stuff more, I had no issues with the Hand/Elektra stuff.
Also, a hot take: only Iron Fist is bad. Every other season of Netflix Marvel is either good or great, usually with a poor episode or two.
You crazy.

YOU CAN'T USE THE SAME GIF THREE TIMES
First half of DDS2 > DDS1 > Second half of DDS2
This is a good list

Purple Man's the stand out because he actually had powers and had motivation beyond cash monies. Every other developed villain Marvel Netflix has done is a rich person with the same skin colour as the protagonist or an underdeveloped Ninja.
Maybe I'm still just salty over the defenders spending so long on a boring antagonist for no reason at all.

It was lots o' stunt casting because lord knows I didn't expect HEAVY DEFENDERS NETFLIX SPOILERS

Daredevil S1 had the better overall story, villain, hallway fight and consistency in episode quality.
S2 had the better first few episodes and a pretty good Frank in prison subplot.
The Netflix version of the Hand is shiiiiit.

Yup, thats basically my list too, although Id put Defenders at the spot above Iron Fist
But DD S1, all the Punisher stuff in S2, the first half of Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones are all great
Yeah, this.
LOVED that trailer. Seriously stoked.

This fundamental truth is ruining Marvel's Netflix lineup as they going hard as The Hand as a villain. Defenders alone would be better with something other than the Hand.

No damn way... The overly vague expositing about The Hand and the Black Sky may have dragged, but calling DDS2 a "disjointed nightmare" is such a wildly inaccurate description, you may as well be describing Matt's costume as neon green.

The blue balls on the release date. We have about 90 days left so if they are still teasing, it might be a december release. Or the days between Halloween and Thanksgiving
I wouldn't be surprised if it's coming sooner than people think. Seems a lot of the time that when they are putting out trailers the show is coming in a matter of weeks.

I'm too excited for this. I just need to know when, so I could shut myself in my house and watch.

You're going to load up Netflix and you're going to see some trailer for Gilmore Girls or something start up only to see the screen get shot to shit and Frank walks through.

You don't want to either.

Daredevil 2 6/10
Daredevil 5/10
JJ 4/10
LC 2/10
Defenders -2/10
Ironfist -10/10
Daredevil Season 1 (9.5/10, fantastic first series, though dodgy last episode marred the experience)
Jessica Jones (7/10, fun show with some really dodgy pacing, especially when it seems to struggle to work out what kind of show it wants to be...whether committing itself to noir or as a superhero deconstruction or both at the same time).
Luke Cage (7/10, great first half, show really started to unravel once Diamondback showed up)
The Defenders (6/10, show was completely let down by the complete lack of interesting antagonists with clear motivations, though some nice character moments).
Daredevil Season 2 (5/10 poor writing and horrendous pacing, complimented by some really out of character moments. The confusing and dull as ditch-water Hand plotline continued to drag it down. Jon Bernthal delivered a nice performance as Frank though, and that graveyard monologue was neat.)
Iron Fist (2/10, I actually mildly enjoyed the first handful of episodes, but the show just completely fucking loses itself in basically no time at all).
Personally, the fact that the show advertised itself with two separate trailers early on (split into two parts) showcasing two dramatically different plotlines that had absolutely nothing to do with each other (a hardbitten, urban crime thriller about a murderous vigilante and a story about a centuries-old mystical ninja cult consisting of immortals) tells you everything you need to know why S2 just didn't work, constantly switching gears and jumping between genres and character beats without settling upon a consistent means to garner any kind of momentum for a unified story that would engage us from beginning to end.
Of course, it all comes down to subjective opinion, and I'm glad to know S2 worked for people in a way it didn't for me, but speaking as a massive fan of the first season, S2 was something of a hideous let-down. I'm hoping S3 will be something of a return to form now that they've finally jettisoned The Hand stuff in favour of a far more simple, Kingpin driven Born Again adaptation (which is a story I happen to love).

Not only do I agree with you, but I have also found a new, great, gif.
