So yeah, now I'm five episodes in and I'm really digging it. The story is excellent even if I don't think some of the character elements were earned. Throughout the Netflix series, Luke has been the most level headed hero of them all, yet suddenly he's embittered and pissed off at the world. They did a poor job explaining this shift in his personality, they should have built it up slowly and had him lose his shit somewhere around episode 5 or 6. Instead by episode 2 his frustration over nothing has him bitching at Claire about being judged by others. I'm all for taking him in a new direction, I just think they could've gone about it in a better way.
Overall the story is solid, though. Bushmaster is an intriguing villain and Mariah has more depth to her than ever before. The deep cuts from the comics are fantastic; bringing in Nightshade and Misty getting her bionic arm. Also, other than Defenders, this season feels the most interconnected with the rest of the Netflix universe among all the shows thus far. Colleen, Foggy, Rand Industries; it truly feels like the shared universe it's supposed to be.
One more note, once again the music is incredible this season, particularly the Blues artists. The showrunners clearly put effort into making sure the show has its own unique voice. The city and the club are characters unto themselves, you care about what happens there. That's world building 101.
