SEASON 2 REVIEWS

“After a mostly top-notch debut on Netflix, Marvel’s Man Without Fear begins season two on an uneven note. [...] Stick with it, though, and the show blossoms, featuring a few terrific action sequences while introducing into this grim world seminal characters the Punisher and Elektra – both mostly victimized by earlier feature adaptations. So far, the Marvel/Netflix collaboration has brought a nifty dimension to both parties.” -- Brian Lowry, Variety

“The Daredevil costume continues to evolve, and only for the better, as far as I’m concerned. There are some great fight scenes that are fun to watch even when they’re quite clearly trying to top things that were done in season one.” -- Dan Van Winkle, The Mary Sue

“It shouldn’t present any surprise that Jon Bernthal utterly kills (murders, blows away, etc.) it in the role, turning on a dime from terrifying to relatable, and underscoring the comic Punisher’s scowling machismo with a sense of terrible burden.” -- Kevin Fitzpatrick, Screencrush

“Elodie Yung’s Elektra Natchios is the character to watch, though. The mysterious woman from Matt’s past is not only clever and cold, but every bit the physical match for Daredevil, as well as everyone else she crosses paths with.” -- Mike Cecchini, Den Of Geek
