6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again (Review)
We do now live in a world where the Daredevil show on Netflix was fully revived into a new show that’s just as good. The world is not such a dark and horrible place…no wait, it definitely still is. But we can now cling to our little pop culture shows and movies had games to find some joy to be had in all the darkness — and finding joy in darkness is maybe one of the themes of Daredevil: Born Again? I dunno.
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
So yeah, season two of Daredevil: Born Again has arrived only a year after the first season, which is a miracle in this day and age. And they’re already working on season three. I watched the episodes week-by-week because I wanted to be part of the zeitgeist, and now I’m doing my roundup review. Am I late to the party? Probably. But I’m not famous enough to get screeners in advance. It’s just little old me, plugging away on this blog still.
Regardless, join me after the jump for my review and thoughts on the second season of Daredevil: Born Again! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 5/9/26
What a banger week it’s been! Great TV shows have come to an end, great, uh, other things are probably happening somewhere, and we got some damn good comics to enjoy, like Absolute Superman and Daredevil.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Batman #9 because it’s an exciting issue with good energy, nudging it just a little bit above the second issue of a so-far excellent Daredevil series.
Meanwhile, I very much enjoyed the season finales of both Maul: Shadow Lord and Daredevil: Born Again. Great shows that were super fun to watch! I’m going to try to put together some List of Six thoughts/reviews for both over the coming week or so. We’ll see how that goes. Beyond that, I’m deep in the paint on Crimson Desert. It’s exactly my sort of open world game with lots of pedantic little things to do throughout the game world. Super fun! And I’m still deciding whether or not to see Mortal Kombat II in theaters. I really don’t have any interest…but it’s Mortal Kombat II…but it’s not that Street Fighter movie, which has me actively excited. I dunno. It should be in theaters for a while, so I’ve got time to decide.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #19, Batman #9 and Daredevil #2.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is coming out very soon and it just doesn’t look very exciting. Looks kinda…I dunno. Dull. Awkward. Dark. Full of instantly recognizable celebrities and not characters. See for yourself.
This trailer did nothing for me. It’s just a game of Spot the Celebrity and then Tom Holland saying “dad” in the most awkward way. And then vague glimpses of monsters. I’ve never read The Odyssey, so maybe this movie is going to be super accurate or something. But based on this trailer, it looks like a rather whelming movie. But I’m ready to be proven wrong.
The Odyssey comes to theaters on July 17.

I’ll Probably Watch Ted Lasso Season 4
I enjoyed Ted Lasso, just like everybody else. But I was definitely over it by season 3. The show became too much about sniffing its own farts, if I’m using that phrase correctly. Everybody that made the first season so amazing dipped out to make Shrinking (which is amazing!), and season 3 just wasn’t all that good. But you can’t keep a good Ted Lasso down…
I’ll watch it. Whatever. I don’t need to be cynical. If they make it, I’ll watch it. This isn’t like the Scrubs revival, some 20 years later. Considering how many years pass between TV seasons nowadays, it’s not even that weird that Ted Lasso season 4 is three years after season 3. And I like the idea of Ted spearheading a female team. I always expected that one girl in his neighborhood to do something eventually. I hope it’s that same girl.
Ted Lasso season 4 arrives on AppleTV on August 5.

They’re Making Another Jackass Movie!
I never watched the original Jackass show on Mtv. I wasn’t cool enough back then (or ever). But I’ve seen all the movies, most of them in theaters, and the whole thing is a huge lark! The last one was so good my face hurt from smiling and laughing so much in the theater. So heck yeah, I’m down for another Jackass movie!
Will this be the last one? They’re all getting old — as are we all. They probably enjoy making these. It’s called Jackass: Best and Last. But who knows. If they keep making them, I’ll keep going to the theater to watch them. This one should be a real hoot!
Jackass: Best and Last comes to theaters on June 26.
