Have fun. It was an absolutely incredible season. The single take shot in episode four is amazing and the villains this season were all top notch. I really hope there is a season four. Daredevil is BY FAR the best Marvel Netflix show.

I don't know the comics, but if Bullseye is the guy that 'saved' Fisk, then I'm all for seeing more of him. One person I wish we didn't see at all is Karen. I wish they wouldn't spend so much time on her - she's so annoying.

He’s been around the Marvel comic world a ton tho. He once had an arc where he fought Deadpool on behalf of Norman Osborne and it was some of the most entertaining comic book reading I’ve ever had. But yea he is the FBI guy that saved Fisk and is a little off kilter. I’m only 5 eps in so far so he hasn’t fallen as far as I expect him to yet.

Just finished the season. It's really good! Definitely better than season 2 which had some problems. It's refreshing after the mediocre season 2's of Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Loved Bullseye! He was definitely worth the wait. I really hope this gets a fourth season.

I actually thought Karen and Foggy were great this season. I usually find them annoying.

Just finished episode 6. Great fight sequence. Loving this season so far.

Anyone else think the cop looks like an over-spray tanned Judd Nelson?
I was so annoyed that they wrote Bullseye out of the Elektra storyline last season to focus on the stupid Hand. Glad he's finally here, and so far so good. I liked the Colin Ferrell version, and like the two Kingpins, this is different but good.

I just saw episode 3. It's one of those "Character haunts the protagonist like a ghost (despite obviously being only a hallucination) in order to teach them a lesson" episodes. I've seen a bunch of these over the years (even JESSICA JONES did it in the 11th episode of the 2nd season and coincidentally(?) it was also done with the villain). Here's the thing: This only works when the haunting character is no longer a part of the show. I don't mean they have to be dead (and be a literal ghost); I mean the actor must be a guest instead of part of the main cast. It creates this "The character is physically gone, but its presence will never go away" feeling. This should've happened in season 2. If it had to happen this season, they at least could've moved things around. This could've happened during episode 1 or 2. It would've been KINGPIN's 1st appearance and, at the end of the episode, we would've seen the real one lifting weights in jail, leaving the start of his subplot for the following episode.

Yeah, I felt the same way. Arkham Knight and The Following did it pretty effectively.

Before the start of the season, I had my reservations about BULLSEYE. How could I prefer a realistic version when I love the movie version precisely for being a deliciously cartoonish character (and Colin Farrell having the time of his life)? And especially because there have been other characters and things in the show that have made me say "I prefer the movie version." Just to clarify, I don't consider the movie to be good overall. It's due to nostalgia and the fact that the show tends to be too grounded for my taste. No, I don't want superhero stories to be campy. I want them to balance the realistic with the over-the-top, which is what I feel season 2 did very well while season 1 didn't. Anyway, I just saw episode 5. Those 15 minutes of backstory were enough. I'm invested in him.

I don't think that was the right way to end the season. The "Character will now receive an upgrade and become a supervillain" type of cliffhanger only works when said character hasn't been shown as evil so far or has been an evil yet regular person so far. POINTDEXTER has already shown his super abilities. Not to mention that, ever since AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. made fun of this trope in its 1st season finale, it's hard to take it seriously, especially when it's used in a show that takes place in the same universe.

I was a bit disappointed in the finale. Feels like we're right back where we started.
