The creators of this series (and to an extent to original Netflix series) have gotten a little lost in the dichotomy of Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) to an almost psychotic extent. The conclusion of the Fisk’s mayor arc allows the series to split the pair for a cinematic moment, each facing a sort of justice for their actions. However, are we really to believe brutally murdering 50+ New Yorkers on his way out of office in a murderous rage has absolutely no consequences for our series’ villain while Daredevil (apparently without trial) is sent to prison?
