Marvel's Daredevil: 18 Problems With Season 2

11. Second Act Lull

Daredevil Matt Elektra

After all the conundrum of battling, bartering and breaking down barriers with The Punisher, the season then introduces the most important woman in Matt Murdock’s life: Elektra.

Her portrayal, design and mixture of confidence and vulnerability all spoke true to the core of the character (I wish Frank Miller would give this show a chance but I wouldn’t hold my breath) but after feeling the force of nature that was Frank Castle, Elektra’s introductory episode in the mid-season was a little too much of a breather.

Obviously, audiences need the chance soak in everything they have just witnessed but going from the heart-wrenching confessions of Castle in the cemetery to Matt and Elektra’s cat-and-mouse relationship seemed to be more of a step back than a step forward in terms of ‘must see’ television.

Or course, the show corrected itself hastily but you cannot deny that Frank’s boots were initially a little too big to fill and word is that ninjas generally have tiny feet
