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.
Read the rest of this entryI’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.

There’s a New Season of Game Changer on the Way!
Made you look! Now that you’ve started reading this blog post, I’m going to pivot real quick and make another call to action to head over to the Museum of the Uncanny Kickstarter to back this awesome project from some awesome comic creators! It’s the last day and we’re making a made dash to raise the money to make this anthology of awesome, spooky comic stories!
Now that you’re back from the Kickstarter, here’s the actual trailer for season 8 of Game Changer on Dropout.
I’m a huge fan of Dropout and Game Changer. Been a subscriber since the platform launched, spinning out of College Humor. And I’m so glad to see that it has reached mainstream appeal, even if it’s mostly through TikTok shorts or whatever. Watch however you want! But it’s definitely worth the incredibly cheap monthly subscription fee. Lots of great shows on Dropout!
And arguably the best one, Game Changer, returns with new episodes on May 18.

It’s Possible We Never Get an Actual Punisher Adaptation
After appearing in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, the Punisher is going to get his own special presentation in a couple of months. Jon Bernthal is one of the creative minds behind this mini-movie, and we’ve got our first trailer. It’s gonna be called The Punisher: One Last Kill.
Why is it so hard to just make a show or movie or special presentation where the Punisher kills bad dudes? Where he dresses in his costume and kills sex traffickers and we all cheer? And there’s a little existential dread, but not too much?
I dunno. This looks fine. Should be fun. I’ll watch whatever they put out. Just somebody make an adaptation of The Slavers, dammit!
The Punisher: One Last Kill comes to Disney+ on May 12…which is only a single month away! Great!

They Are Definitely Making a Harry Potter TV Show
We knew it was coming. There was no stopping it. There’s money to be made! Just not by me. That new Harry Potter TV show on HBO has a trailer.
I think they could have made a better trailer. Like…we all know Harry Potter. We all know the big scenes and the movies and the characters and stuff. Would it have been weird to make a trailer that just sort of…recreates those famous scenes, but with the new actors? This trailer seems like a real trailer, as if teasing a brand new project…but then also not…it’s weird. Or maybe my cold is just fogging my brain just enough that I’m not getting it.
It all looks fine to me. I’ll probably watch. I like Nick Frost. I hope the kids involved are OK. J.K. Rowling sucks.
The Harry Potter TV show — full title being Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, because of course — will arrive around Christmas.
