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.

I’m a fan of Stranger Things. The first and second seasons still hold up, even if I wasn’t too enamored with the third season. But I am totally down for the upcoming fourth season, especially after this sweet new full trailer!
Looks like we’re getting a singular, Upside Down bad guy! And puberty! And other general quality horror action. So bring on Strange Things season 4 on May 27!

6 Thoughts on the Third Season of Jessica Jones
And so the Marvel Netflix Defenders era has come to a quiet, whimpering end. The writing has been on the wall for a long time, and the final season of Jessica Jones has dropped. We don’t go out with a big, grand, Defenders reunion. Just a quiet, emotional episode of one of the top shows. Goodbye, my friends.
TV Show Rating: 7/10 – Good.
Once upon a time, I did a List of Six of the things I wanted to see in the Netflix Defenders shows, back when they were first announced. I got most of what I wanted, so that’s nice. But overall, the shows were more disappointing than we all expected them to be. They were largely good, I think. And history will be kind to a lot of what happened. As for the final season of Jessica Jones, I liked it.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on the final season! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season!
Jessica Jones is Back for One More Go!
The last of the great Netflix Defenders shows arrives next weekend: Jessica Jones season 3! It’s sad to see these shows go…even if they didn’t turn out all that great. I especially disliked season 2 of Jessica Jones, so we’ll see how season 3 turns out.
Here’s the trailer:
Looks good at the moment! Who’s that villain, you wonder? He’s none other than Foolkiller!
Not familiar with Foolkiller? Then allow me to share with you how I first learned of Foolkiller: classic Marvel trading cards from the early 90s!
He’s undefeated against fools!
I think Jessica Jones is in big trouble! The character, not the show. The show’s already cancelled after this.

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of The Punisher
The second and probably last season of The Punisher arrived on Netflix this past weekend, and after binging the whole thing, I’m ready for the Netflix Defenders shows to end. It was a fine experiment, there’s some decent TV on the whole, but let’s move on.
TV Show Rating: 4/10 – Pretty Bad
I should preface this whole post with a warning to take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I’ve only ever been a moderate Punisher fan, but I hold Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX comic as one of the greatest comic book runs of all time. I reread nearly all 10+ volumes at least once a year, I love it so much. So when it comes to reviewing anything new about the Punisher, I am hugely biased in one certain direction.
And for the second season in a row, The Punisher TV show on Netflix is nothing like Punisher MAX. The show is its own thing, and I can respect that. I’d like it even more if that own thing was good. But as we’ll discuss, I didn’t care for this season.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts on The Punisher season 2! Feel free to share your own review in the comments. And be aware of FULL SPOILERS for the entire show.
