A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen

Here we are at the end of a season, a very, very good follow-up of the first excellent first one. But, while last year (almost) all of the loose ends were taken care of, this year the season ends with a cliffhanger – if we were in Karen’s place, we wouldn’t be so happy about being lied to for so long.

This is the end of Nelson and Murdock, with Matt embracing his Daredevil persona, Karen becoming a full-fledged journalist (complete with writer’s block), and Foggy being hired at Jeri Hogarth’s law firm. Punisher finally completes his arc, going home, even if just to blow it up, while Elektra seemed like a perfect love interest for Daredevil.

Obviously, she is killed – and we saw that miles away, as mentioned, given her oscillation between good and evil. But, most importantly, her death shows that Matt can break his rule – and the Punisher did say that crossing the line just once is impossible. After all, Daredevil didn’t actually know that Nobu will survive (and he did survive, until Stick decapitated him).

The Hand is still alive, though, because the final scenes show them having dug up Elektra’s body and having her placed in that weird container. As said, the Black Sky isn’t necessarily Elektra (her personality or even her skills). And we believe that it will later on be revealed that mystical entities are at work (or, at least, alien ones).

Will that happen in a third season of Daredevil? It might. But as it all played out until now, we strongly believe that the Hand will play the antagonist role when the Defenders arrive.

Was the second Daredevil season worth our while? Hell, yeah! Even if it had its low moments, it was still one of the best things we’ve seen on TV in quite a while. And, if you’ve become a fan of Netflix’s Marvel shows, you are also looking forward to Luke Cage – you can watch the first teaser trailer below!
