Marvel's Daredevil Season 2: 10 Ups And 2 Downs

12. Building Upon Season 1

As mentioned, the first season of Daredevil was a great success, delivering a take on the character that banished any lingering memories of the 2003 film, and was exciting, dramatic, and fun to whizz through in an entire weekend. 

If the events of The Avengers led to Daredevil, then the events of that first season lead us to Season 2. Hell's Kitchen is a different place now: the rise of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen gives rise to a new wave of vigilantism, while Fisk being put behind bars opens a power vacuum that is begging to be filled. 

It's a logical follow-up, and though there's plenty in this season that stands alone, it's good to see it build upon that great first season and use those foundations as the basis for the various directions it goes in, from Matt and Karen's relationship to the emergence of the Punisher, the return of Fisk, and the mysterious new villains on the scene.
