Things were looking pretty bad for Matt Murdock at the end of Daredevil season two; Foggy had left to join a different firm, Elektra had tragically passed away (soon to be resurrected), and he unveiled his identity to Karen to an as of yet unknown reception.

So things aren't great - we know this - and, given Fisk's warning to Matt during season two, it's pretty obvious that they're only going to get worse. Much, much worse. Like, terrible. Catastrophic even.

An adaptation of Fisk's infamous tale of revenge really needs to put Matt through a blender until it spits him out with the determination to destroy the Kingpin completely and utterly. And while this process could be completed when things are already looking pretty dire for the character, it would be much better for the series to really sweep the rug from underneath his feet at the most unexpected moment.

No doubt Matt will have been bracing himself for Fisk's inevitable release, but Daredevil is at its core a very tragic comic book. Giving the character some sort of stability is a surefire way of letting audiences know that terrible things are about to happen.
