Every MCU TV Show Ranked From Worst To Best

They took everything about Season 1 and arguably made it bigger and better. The show gave Murdock a stronger character journey, the hard-hitting action was brought to exhilarating heights, and most importantly, they managed to introduce two new cracking villains; Jon Berenthal’s frightening take on The Punisher and Odette Yung’s impressive spin on Elektra.

Both of these iconic characters had unsuccessful former adaptations on the big screen beforehand - yet here Netflix took a careful approach and completely knocked each out of the park.

Bernthal quite successfully plays the character as a deeply disturbed ticking time-bomb of a man that you fear, just as much as root for. His dynamic relationship with Murdock is perfectly captured to a tee as well.

Yung excels with the hidden vulnerability underneath a cold-blooded icy exterior of Murdock’s assassin ex-lover. Her take is leaps and bounds above the misguided take with Jennifer Garner, and their complex love/hate chemistry makes for a compelling piece of drama.

Add to that, it faithfully captures its source material to a tee, showcases incredible bone-breaking action scenes (plus Ninjas!), stellar writing and a killer Kingpin cameo - heck, even Foggy manages to be less annoying. This all made for not just a great Marvel TV show, or a great Superhero TV show - but a great TV show, period.
