finished the season by ffwding through everything not Punisher related. Outside of the Castle stuff, the show was too hokey for me.
But the Punisher stuff was done SO WELL. Not just the action, but all of Berenthal's monologues were far and away the best acting on the show. Just everything about Frank Castle was miles above everything else on DD.

Just finished season 2 and I loved it, I like the dual nature of the season with the two main arcs alternating throughout the course of the episodes. Full season spoilers ahead: {Spoiler}Vincent D’Onofrio's guest appearance was great and his scene with Murdock was probably my favourite scene of the season (even more than the graveyard scene).
I will say that the biggest issue with the season is that there's no clear villain like season 1 had (sure the show ends up focusing on Blacksmith and The Hand, but that takes about 10 episodes to get there).
Also, two things I noticed:
1) Since Daredevil is in the MCU, we know that gamma radiation can turn you into a giant green monster, a super solider created during WWII was frozen and was brought back to life, aliens exist and almost destroyed NYC and Norse Gods exist, but Murdock refuses to believe (or at the very least downplays) that Nobu and the The Hand actually have any kind of mystical powers?
2) Is it just me or, after the prison fight scene, do the blood stains on Castle's jumpsuit look like a skull?

Even Murdock's own powers have an explainable reason behind them. I think he refuses to believe that outright magic exists, which hasn't been established yet on Earth in the MCU.

A Punisher Origin cut of this season would be amazing. I normally like the mystical stuff but they did the Frank Castle arc so well that it made the Hand story look silly by comparison.

Just finished it.
So good.
More Punisher! NOW!
EDIT: Holy shit! I just found out Kurt Angle and Jon Bernthal are related (by marriage).

Punisher: Three guys that are about to walk into a diner for the last time.
Badass.

If there is a third season ,i hope we see less Karen.More of a side character that giver her voice between some episodes.Not that she was bad,but i don't think her character can offer much more.

Enjoyed this season a lot more than the last one. Punisher was great, and Elektra was decent. Plus a minimizing of Vincent D'Onofrio's *Really struggling with a dump voice* Kingpin was appreciated. Though I liked his arc.
But, I hope they put Foggy on a bus and fast. He was so damn annoying. Foggy: WHY WON'T YOU PAY ATTENTION TO OUR LAW FIRM!? Matt: There are ninjas destroying the city Foggy... NINJAS! Foggy: WHAT ABOUT US!? WAHHHHHHHHHH!

NINJAS! Foggy: WHAT ABOUT US!? WAHHHHHHHHHH! Well I can see Foggy point,i actually think he was much better this season. His best friend is constantly in danger,lying and not saying what is happening,which jeopardizes his life. It is not like Matt right at the start said :sorry,i have to save the city right now,otherwise we are all doomed forever. At the start he didn't even say WHAT he was doing,he was just doing things.And all that was effecting Foggy career and life.Both man had valid points of course and the solution at the ends was probably the most sensible one for both man. I liked that Foggy didn't stick to be the bumbling screw up which any show would make him.He showed up this season and showed he can be damn good at what he does.

Just finished the season {Spoiler} The choice to kill Elektra here was a dumb one. If you dont have Bullseye to do it, you dont bloody do it. Just a really pointless choice to kill her and without it being him to do it. I'm actively really angry about that choice, and then to kill on Nobu for 'real' right after, meaning that they cant even make him Bullseye or allow for Matt to go seek revenge etc so as to build the emotional/personal connection for DD.....just so f***ing pointless. Gah, stupid show.

But didn't Bullseye kill her twice?Plus she was sealed,she may be alive somehow.There is still ways.

Just finished the season. Absolutely loved it. Season 1 was really good but this just blows it out of the water IMO. Also I need a Punisher spinoff/mini series ASAP.

I'm sure I missed something here, but {Spoiler}So Nobu and his Putty Patrol are all like, Electra is the Black Sky, but then by the end scene they were all fighting and trying kill her? Maybe I blinked and missed something, but I don't get it.

Just finished Ep. 9 "Seven Minutes in Heaven". {Spoiler}{Spoiler} I marked out when Wilson Fisk finally referred to himself as Kingpin, and frickin' Nobu!
It should have clicked within me from what Stick said that he'd be back but it didn't. Nobu was my favorite villain other than Kingpin, I'm really excited to see the final four episodes tomorrow!

Finished the season {Spoiler}It was very good. Some parts of the show are definitely weaker than others. But I don't really even mind the courtroom stuff. Though the Foggy/Matt tension can get tedious.
But as many others have said, the Punisher is the star of the show. Every second he is onscreen is fantastic. Bernthal absolutely killed it. And yeah, we need that Punisher series NOW.
And I doubt we've seen the last of Elektra.

Just finished Season 2, I was very impressed and was never bored. I am a huge fan of this adaptation of The Punisher, they have absolutely nailed it finally with Punisher.

Maybe Elektra/Bullseye combo next season or with the defenders. I also expect Foggy Nelson to pop in Jessica Jones season 2 somewhere. I enjoyed this season, but I have to give a special shout out to Deborah Ann Woll. Karen Page really came into her own this season. Also I'd third... fourth...hundredth... a Punisher series with Bernthal. He was great. Please Russo brothers, Daredevil really deserves to be in Infinity war. At least a shout out to the work Charlie Cox has been doing. Oh! Reading AVClub and there maybe a so subtle reference to Agents of Shield: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}When Punisher breaks the frame he takes out a CD that has "MICRO" written on it. Micro was a member of Rising Tide. Rising Tide is a conspiracy hacktivist group that exposed S.H.I.E.L.D. to the world in the aftermath of the Battle of New York. Skye (Daisy) said Micro was a member of the group.
