Review: ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2, Episode 2 “Shoot the Moon”

Moving along to episode 2, Kingpin learns of Daredevil’s potential helper, Daredevil tries to figure out why this person may have helped out, and Kingpin further continues to spread his anti-vigilante propaganda. In terms of quality, this episode was about the same as the previous one. It seems like from this episode, you can deduce that they are going to be focusing more on some of the other characters.

Daredevil/Matt Murdock only appeared in a few scenes in this episode. This could mean that the other characters are going to be involved and help Daredevil fight the army he’s up against. It’s sort of like the beginning of the first season where it was mostly Matt, and then later on, Daredevil started coming back in. 

The episode started off a bit faster, but started to slow down as it got into the latter parts before it picked up at the end. There are a few conflicts/side issues, one of them bringing a question or two, involving Kingpin. We’ll just say it’s a fight, but the reason why he’s doing it is a little confusing. Is it supposed to show his strength, or is there something more to it? 

A small nitpick with this episode involves a reveal. It felt a bit too early in the season. Maybe they could have waited just a few more episodes to leave viewers guessing and would have allowed the reveal to have more of an impact (not that it didn’t, but it would feel greater if it was delayed just a bit more). Maybe it was obvious who it was, but still, the reveal maybe could have waited a bit longer.

Overall, the episode was still good, and had the same level of quality as the previous episode. 

Rating: 7.5/10

I have taken part in the university television station where I was able to act in a show and work behind the scenes. I also have hosted a radio show and have been able to learn the mechanical workings on how the radio shows operate. I have always been interested in different video games growing up and have recently become more interested in movies, film, radio, and screenplay. I have created many characters and have many ideas for different movies, video games, and shows. Besides creating the characters and stories, I believe I would also like to take part in them as well.
