Daredevil: 11 Most Fan-Pleasing Moments From Season 2

"See you around, Red."

By Ewan Paterson /

Wow. Just, wow. Without degrading this piece too much into the realm of unfettered fanboy adulation or hysteria, I think it's safe to say that Daredevil Season 2 was a major hit. Apart from the fact that the Man Without Fear himself is Marvel's best property, Netflix's penchant for all things costumed and gritty was really best exemplified by this season in particular, with Daredevil now dealing with Marvel's anti-heroes most synonymous with its relatively untraversed seedy underbelly. Frank Castle, Elektra and The Hand really helped raise the stakes of the series this time around, and with that came some truly awe-inspiring moments - both action-oriented and not. Though Netflix's adaptation of Stan Lee and Bill Everett's creation may deviate from the source material in certain instances, its abundance of Easter Eggs, quality drama and action really cements Daredevil's status as being the preeminent on-screen superhero presence. This season manages to harness the essence of Frank Miller's seminal work on the character, and in doing so elevates the series once more to unparalleled narrative heights. Normal audiences can of course appreciate its nuances, but it's ol' Horn-head's biggest fans who'll have had the most edifying of experiences viewing the show on their couch of choice. Obviously, spoilers follow.

11. Foggy Lays Down Some Serious Verbal Smackdown

I absolutely adore Eldon Henson as Foggy. John Favreau may have given a faithful portrayal of Matt Murdock's partner in crime back in 2003, but Henson really nails the character's reverent eloquence, humour, and most importantly, his hard-hitting no-nonsense attitude. He's an avocado at law at his best. Foggy got a lot of opportunities this season to showcase his spoken talents, but if there was any one scene in particular that had fans punching the air in appreciation, it would be his verbal sparring with D.A. Reyes. After so flagrantly violating the law and subverting Nelson and Murdock's attorney-client privilege by using Grotto as bait for The Punisher, Foggy put his talents to use and quite rightly dismantled the D.A.'s overconfidence with tact. It was the quintessential Nelson moment the show delivered, and though we can only lament the now strained relationship of Matt and Foggy, we can at least be confident he'll be back to kicking ass in the courtroom in the future.
