The Second Season finale of Daredevil: Born Again is certainly cool, although not without some rather large problems. 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.

Maul – Whispers in the Unknown / Pride and Vengeance

While still including the ill-fated police investigation into finding Maul (Sam Witwer) which I’m already tiring of, “Whispers in the Unknown” and “Pride and Vengeance” give us Maul’s attempts to pull the Jedi Padawan Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon) towards the Dark Side (likely reminding viewers of his similar attempts to win over Ezra Bridger) and get revenge by taking down the Pykes and bending another syndicate to his will.
