Best TV Shows 2016

Daredevil Season 1 was a huge success, so much so that Netflix altered their plans and, pushing back Luke Cage and Iron Fist, brought us another instalment earlier this year.

Season 2 didn't have the looming spectre of Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk over it (not for most of its run, anyway), and the Hand weren't quite a suitable replacement.

Still, while it got a little bogged down with them and, to a less extent, Elektra, it still delivered on so much of what made the series great. Season 2 was a very dark look at being a superhero, complemented by some of the best fight scenes you'll see on any screen.

Charlie Cox was better this time around, as were most of the supporting cast, while Jon Bernthal finally gave us a definitive take on The Punisher. Those first four episodes were brutal, breathless, and brilliant, even if the rest didn't quite match-up.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
