Character Development
The characters in Daredevil are complex and interesting. The show does a nice job developing each character’s own identity from the previous season. All while introducing new characters. It can be a tough balance but Marvel’s Daredevil does this effortlessly. It was only a matter of time before Matt’s Daredevil antics catch up with him and his law firm. Both Foggy and Karen get upset that Matt continuously lets them down and they not only express their anger but grow from it. They take on things in Matt’s absence. Daredevil himself starts to really dive into the fact this is something he feels he has to do, and he needs people in his life that understand that. Newer characters are given arcs as well, Elektra is slowly introduced, you spend time with her at various stages in her life and you are able to see the reasons for her ways.
The Punisher
The Punisher needs his own mention in this list. How can a character who kills people, make me cry? That is the power of The Punisher in season two. A majority of the season is spent learning about him, his past and the reasons for doing what he does. But Daredevil takes it a step further by incorporating the reactions of those around him. And it is perfect. The Punisher is not portrayed as the villain in the series, instead Daredevil and him have a very candid discussion about what they both do and how if you really think about – they are very similar.

“Marvel’s Daredevil season two is just as good as season one, if not better.”
Marvel’s Daredevil season two is just as good as season one, if not better. That says a lot given the quality of season one. If you are new to the series, I suggest checking out season one first and then jumping into two. But if you have already seen the first season you really NEED to watch season two. Everything that was great is improved on. Characters are stronger than ever, action sequences will blow you away and there are frank discussions about the dilemmas people go thru. Daredevil is everything you could possibility want from a superhero web television series.
