Couldnt agree more. It was not just about DD persona but his relationship with his friends and acquaintances. I thought Foggy and Karen did an outstanding job as they really fleshed out who they were and how the coped with Matt on and off the field. For me the highlight was John Bernthal as the Punisher. He was the truest representation of Frank Castle that I have seen to date. He exactly what he should be like a caged wild animal that hurting to lash out. Thomas Jane was too soft imo and Ray Stevenson looked that part but didn't have the material or portrayed the character as well.
Easily one of my all time favourite comic to screen adaptation to date. (Stupid pad)

I have 2 episodes left and loving it. The fighting is incredibly brutal and you feel the impact of most strikes.
My god the punisher "Entrance" was incredibly violent there were people getting shot in the head, face, parts blown off

Managed to get upto episode 10 last night, Really enjoying it so far. Not quite sure how it's going to end with everything that's happened so far. Won't get to finish it tonight though 
Arrow could really do with getting the fight coordinators in from this to make theirs a lot better.

What was wrong with Electra?

That what the real Punisher was meant to be like. He literally is the instrument of Death. So happy with the Billy club and reference to micro. Straight from the comics.

Love the series. Punisher is brutal, and calculating. Exactly how he should be. The first few meetings between daredevil and the Punisher was straight out of the comics! Loved the iconic moment between the two.
Can't wait to see him in his own series.
Found the season much better than the first.
I think the only thing that I found this season a bit off putting is how out of breath he seems to be, like all the time, not sure if this was to show how far he was pushing himself, and how much of a toll the double life was taking on him.
He get's his ass handed to him a lot more than other heroes tend to, but he can take a beating and dish out as good as he receives.

I like the way he gets his ass kicked, he doesn't have super strength so just has to suck it up and keep going so there's always that chance he's going to push it too far.
The staircase fight was good but I felt the choreography was a bit more scrappy this season, a few of the punches and and especially the kicks seemed to be more obviously pulled as though the shot framing/blocking was slightly off.
The first Punisher massacre seemed to have a couple of squibs going off as soon as the shooting starts without the actors seeming to notice. Its only a split second on screen but it just seemed a bit careless.
I enjoyed it, not as much as Season 1 though. I thought the Elektra plot reveal was a bit weak and the whole Black Sky thing seemed contrived and mishandled especially after Stick went to such lengths to kill the one in the container in the first season.

Finished s2 last night. Really enjoyed the whole series just a shame we've had the origin story on The Punisher as I'd love for him to have his own series.
I'm going to guess that the pod is either some sort of DBZ healing capsule or something more like the Lazarus pit from Arrow where Elektra wakes up and her 'bloodlust' is a lot higher?

Up to Episode 7 and loving it so far. Great to see Jon Bernthal back in the driving seat as a villain, he was amazing in TWD!
Are you watching the same show?. I thnk you missed the point
Foggy and Karen is the only thing that tethers Matt Murdock without DD consuming his life entirely. Castle/Elektra/Sticks is the flip side of the coin. The show conveys brilliantly the struggles of his secret identity and him dealing with the challenges that both persona brings and coping with responsbilites and consequences of his past/present actions/inactions.
I enjoyed season two, it was better than the first imo. Mainly because I didn't particularly enjoy watching Fisk go on dates or flash backs to the obligatory dark childhood. He works as a villain but isn't as interesting as the show seemed to believe.
Still, season 2 had a few problems:
But it was a good season, Electra was the highlight for me.
Still, season 2 had a few problems:
- Did Matt and Foggy really have to have the same argument every episode? It totally tanked the character for me.
- They should have greater explained Black Sky, The Hand etc.
- Probably an unpopular opinion but I thought it was a little too violent. When watching multiple episodes in quick succession it began to be a little unpleasant.
- Franks black eyes were gross.
- I don't think they really explained Stick wanting Elektra dead.
- Not quite sure why there's still so little crossover within the Marvel universe.
