darkenedrebel: Koice move camp a little, I still stand my ground on saying, DD season 2 was a better installment to the first, I guess probably koice watched the whole series on a phone Rating are not bought on IMDB, users like me and you are who rates movie/series, metacritic and RT I don't know on what bases they rate theirs... DD is a way up there.. |

bykebyke: ...I wasn't kidding when I said I watched Quantico strictly to become more familiar with some of those recondite FBI register...as it appears, all of the terminologies used were stuffs I already knew before, so it wasn't worth watching it anymore... ...moral of the story: I watched for vicarious thrill, but didn't find it effective & have long had it sidelined... ...so whenever you're debasing the show thinking you're teasing me, you're only wasting your time, because it's not even in my top 40 list of fav shows/series... |

Season 2 of Daredevil lost quite a bit of form, and really sucked IMHO. I couldn't help but wonder at times if I was watching a PG-13 Arrow rather than the critically acclaimed Netflix [MA] Daredevil. But I can see why adrenaline junkies rated it higher than the first season. It's simple - It's got more action, yup. The fight scenes were all well choreographed if a bit rehashed, and the visuals were pretty slick. But that's it. All action and no substance. I look for certain things in a show, namely: - Language (Daredevil season 2 featured censured dialogue without one notable catch phrase and quotables. You'd be forgiven to think you're watching a terrestrial network show rather than a Netflix show) - Authenticity (Nobu sudden reappearance in the 2nd season perfectly well and ass-kicking healthy pissed me off something fierce, as he was obviously burnt to death by Matt in one of the highlights of the first season. When he bested Matt in their first tossle in episode 9, Matt quipped "You're Dead." to which Nobu responded "There is no such thing." What kind of sh*t was that?? Seriously?? - Character development: (A lot of discrepancies here, from Frank to Electra to Karen to Foggy to Matt himself. The whole thing felt rushed. Was it any surprise that credible character development suffers the consequence?) - Romance: (Daredevil season 2 is as unromantic as a show can get, let's just leave it at that). - Comic Relief (Daredevil season 2 is as unfunny as it's unsexy. Season 1 had one in the mould of Fisk himself. His tempestuous temper always crack me up.) - Macabre: (I have always been a fan of complicated deaths, which is why I loved Jessica Jones so much - It's got it in droves. Daredevils season 2 in contrast doesn't have one. All deaths were pretty straightforward and nasty. Did I mention boring? That said, even on it's worst day, the 2nd season of Daredevil is hundred times better than Quantico, Flash, & Arrow any day, any time. @Kingsilly, even if I did watch all of Daredevil on my S6 - which I didn't btw - the outcome would have been the same. And come to think of it, my S6 got better resolution than my Dell Inspiron X. 1 Like |

koice: Ok at first I thought you were just joking but seems you're serious. I'll stick to the points you mentioned -Language : it's funny cos this was one of the areas of vast improvement. Season 1 had lots of corny dialogue, every review you'll read mentioned this. The conversations didn't feel natural and you're using that as a point? Besides Fisk's good Samaritan monologue, there wasn't anything memorable.The writing in this season was way better, so many quotes I could mention but the philosophical discussion on the morality of vigilante justice, hell even Punisher' graveyard monologue was one of the best pieces of TV I've seen in ages -Authenticity - Nobu was a huge letdown for me too but when it comes to authenticity you couldn't be more wrong. It fit perfectly with the narrative: Stick already explained there's this group of immortal ninjas chilling and you're still amazed Nobu came back? C'mon -Character development :haha I could spend all day on this. This is literally the worst point you could have given. Even the supporting characters got full satisfying arcs: Punisher, Elektra, Foggy, Karen.... Exposition, conflict, resolution. Fully realized fleshed out characters. Even Fisk managed to look more menacing in a few episodes than in the entire season 1. In season 1, most of the supporting characters had their arcs prematurely cut in an attempt to produce an impact on viewers : Ulrich, Wesley, Owsley......their deaths felt unearned. It's a symptom of poor writing, trying to use shock deaths to substitute for good storytelling. I don't know what show you were watching honestly, I mean I have gripes with the series myself but anyone that watched it will be able to pick the issues. Instead you're highlighting all the ways season 2 is better than 1 Romance: Seriously The sexual chemistry between Elektra and Matt? The tension he had with Karen? What romance was in season 1? Vanessa's relationship was the only reasonable one and even that strained credulity at times Comic relief : this is getting ridiculous. I'll just stop and say if you're expecting comedy from a daredevil show then you don't really understand the character. I'll skip the macabre thingy cos I don't get it either. The folks I watched it with were complaining that the gore was too much and here you are saying the opposite. Once again I don't understand you 1 Like |

DareDevil season 2 did not suck, but it wasn't great either. The first five episodes were wack and I am sure I missed nothing by dodging them. DareDevil season 2 gets a 7/10 rating from me. |

@moneyallowed, after scanning through your epistle, I can comfortably state you don't get me at all, what with quoting my post out of context and all. This is very evident at the"Character development" and "macabre" parts. You went into a tirade when all I'd done was summarize. You see, gone are the days when I would have spent tremendous time online convincing and forcing everyone to read my epistles, trying to show everyone who cares to read why Breaking Bad remains the best TV of recent era, why Lord Baelish is smarter than Frank Underwood, why all the shows on The CW network suck, etc. But I don't do that no more, I grew up, and I got busier. I commend your passion, but get real man, all these nose flaring is pointless, innit? Everyone can't have the same opinion and likes and dislikes, every taste differ, that's the beautiful thing about it, the goram thing is subjective. You love Daredevil season 2, I don't, deal with it. I summarized my issues with the show, forgive me if I don't have the time for an epistle so that you can understand fully. Case closed. Have a nice day. 4 Likes |
