The second to last episode involves Daredevil reluctantly requesting the help of an old enemy, Karen gets into some trouble, and Kingpin has something planned. The story is definitely getting more serious, as the problems and issues are starting to get even closer to our heroes. This episode, unlike the other episodes, felt like the number of conflicts streamlined, focusing on just a few.
For example, Karen finds herself on trial after being arrested by the AVTF. Matt also does something in this episode that could spell doom for him, though that you’ll have to wait and see what. This episode’s pacing made it feel like it went by very quickly, maybe the quickest of the season. It wasn’t exactly rushed, but the narrative and anticipation has pushed the story forward.
There was a mention of another character, so it seems like the show might start adding other characters to join in the fight or cameo on the show (unless it may have just been a reference). We already know that some specific past characters will return for season three. Just how many is the question, with the definite possibility for more characters from Marvel Comics join the MCU and make appearances on the show.
One of the things that occurred in this episode you could kind of see coming, though it was still shocking when it happened. However predictable, it doesn’t make the scene lose its impact. And the scene also provided some good potential foreshadowing for the future, whether it be this season, the next or however many seasons this show may get.
This episode so far was the quickest, not rushed, but it felt like it went by fast. There wasn’t as many conflicts in it, and it had a moment that, while you could see coming, was still shocking in how it was done.
Rating 7.5/10
