Am about to watch S02E01 of Daredevil. I loved the first season (minus the last half an hour of it) and look forward to seeing what they did with the second one. Was torn between watching this, The Force Awakens and The Man in the High Castle, but figured it was worth it and I'm resting today anyway (and I god damn deserved it), so I might as well watch all of them.

EDIT: S02E01 done with, and I'm not sure if I want to continue. The silly costume is still there, the physics have become improbable, fights - fake. The plot's still interesting, but implementation starts to smell. I got hooked on the S01E02's beautiful single shot of a fight in the coridor which has shown Matt Murdock as a capable human being but no superhero; in a human way. Now, he appears out of nowhere and disappears into the same direction.

Marvel can't do second seasons - just take a look at Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where the only interesting thing was Grant Ward.

EDIT#2: S02E02 done. I'm an idiot: I've been judging this way early. Fights are still fake, but now it looks much more real, much more like real people. I'm hopeful.
