Well fuck, I liked that leader guy, and then he gets shot through the wall. Man that's some bullets, we all know who has arrived oh yeah!
I hoped this was the case.
Oh, Josie's bar is still open. Will it be replaced by Luke's later in the season?

Shows lost me already, those cops would have shot those robbers in the opening scene in real life.
If course I'm going to keep watching, I did find it odd though.
I think hes supposed to be new to this punishing thing

anybody else laugh at the whoosh effect when matt fell off the building? WHOOOSH lmao
Finished episode 1, didn't quite start with the Bang I was hoping for, it took some time to find it's bearing, started to hit it's stride as soon as Frank showed up in person to shoot shit up.
And goddamn Frank was shooting his shotgun off without a care in the world, dude could have blasted off Karen's head.

Good Deathwish shoutout.
Finished Episode 1.
Opening sequence was cringey, IMO. That scene has been done a hundred times and we had no need of an establishing scene for Daredevil. Some better character work in the rest of the episode than most of Season 1, including, by far, the best chemistry we've seen between Matt and Karen. The Matt/Foggy issue came up again, but wasn't irritating, which marks another positive change from Season 1.
The closing sequence was very strong. This is what I wanted from this season.
Maybe my favorite episode of the series.
Onto Episode 2 and then, unfortunately, bed.

I thought it was decent for a first episode. Some of the bar stuff and the Foggy with the bikers lasted longer than I would have liked, but it definitely picked up a the end with Frank.
Right? And he was doing so well before, c'mon guy.
Yeah, that was really awful with the camera angles.

I like the bromance with Foggy but his acting is "Off" Dare i say? like he is trying but, idk seems wonky.
I don't know. Some people felt this way with Season 1 as well and I think you guys will feel like that about him as long as he is around.
I'm super fine with Foggy's actor and find him very likable and a nice break from all the seriousness.

How many times are they going to say the Punisher works with military precision?

Great idea in theory, not very good in execution. As soon as the cops were running ten feet behind a group that's shooting at them without firing back or taking cover I knew something was off. They were running blindly into bullets. There was a few more times my eyes rolled during that sequence as well. Daredevil looked amazing in the church though.
Episode redeemed itself shortly after. Frank stalking through this hospital like he's goddamn Michael Myers with a shotgun.
Onto episode 2.

It's always been off. It's just bad acting. Season 1 had some terrible foggy dialogue.
Episode 2 was better overall. The choreography of the fight sequences is good but man they could tighten up the camera work and editing, shit could be so much better .Foggy didn't annoy me as much as he did others last season but man in these two episodes he is straight up bad, I guess it's more pronounced this season because he seems to have a larger role now that he is fully on team Daredevil.

I don't know whats up, Nelson V. Murdock was the best episode of season 1 though.
I'm done with 2 as well and I completely agree. Daredevil/Punisher fights have been very brutal so far. Not too much fancy stuff, just two guys beating the hell out of each other. Onto 3 now! I wonder when Elektra will show up?

I just watched Age of Ultron and Ant-Man for the first time this week, and transitioning from those super-quipy, ultra-powered superheroes straight into this is actually really awesome. I feel almost emotionally unprepared. Even just Foggy frantically searching for Matt on the rooftops hit me pretty hard. The consequences of everything just feel more palpable. And I suppose, in a way, that's the best compliment I can give these early episodes is how quickly I got sucked back into the world and stakes of Daredevil.
He was terrible in ep1 but better in 2 and 3

I think you just learn to tolerate it. For some reason I actually feel like he's doing better this season.
And yeah, that episode was great.
