Season 2 was pretty bad…

I know lots of people that liked DD2 more than the first (but still loved the 1st).
I personally liked the 1st season better but still enjoyed the second.
Marvel (especially on the Netflix shows) seems to be trying different things. I hope they continue to do that and get more eclectic with what they offer. I know that means I won't love everything they put out, but I'd rather have the odd show/film fall flat for me if it means we get more variety.

I think for some, there was too much going on. In season 1, there was ONE main plot, and that was taking down Wilson Fisk, plus threads to set up plot elements for later storylines and later shows. In season 2, you had the Punisher plot, and then you had the Elektra plot, and then you had everything else going on around those things.

Totally agree they could have focused on one thing only. Odd since this was sort of a "bonus" season they hadn't anticipated to put out in advance of Defenders (by all accounts).
I wonder if they found out they were doing a second season so they wrote up the Elektra stuff and then later decided to try and introduce Punisher as well and just didn't then make the tough decision to pick one story only.
If they could have cut one of those stories down to simmer in the background, waiting for season 3 then I think season 2 might have been a bit better.
Again, I still liked it, just thinking maybe they got a bit too excited.

I wasn't a big fan of Season 2 either. Aside from Punisher and Fisk, I was bored to tears. I did not care for Elektra at all, and Karen and Matt have zero chemistry. I binged the first season but barely got through the second.

All in all, I'd say Season 2 was pretty satisfying. The Punisher episodes are of course the highlight of the entire Season. Everything involving Elektra and the Hand were just sort of okay.

I can tolerate personal opinions, but Luke Cage having more replay value than DD2 blows me away. My god, I would rather watch the last seasons of Lost than to witness "Shades" & the Claire+Cage horrible chemistry.

Sometimes when a first season of a show is so good, the second season is compared to it and some are let down. The standard was just set too high. IMO, that's what happened with Daredevil. Season one was a thing of beauty. Season two was very good, but just not at the same level and some were let down and look at it harsher than they should.
And I agree with you about Luke Cage. Not only do I never want to watch it again, I couldn't get through it the first time. Hope I didn't miss anything integral to Defenders or another of the Netflix shows by not finishing it. -

You have to understand that not every Marvel show is going to be for every audience. -

I understand that.
Thing is, I'm a fan of Luke Cage, just not of how they did the show. For me, part of the fun of comic book series are the villains. In Daredevil, you had Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. In Jessica Jones you have David Tennant as Purple Man. These were great villains. The show Luke Cage, for me, didn't have any interesting villains or rather the way they were presented in the show made them uninteresting. -

Well, maybe a superpowered Diamondback will be a bit more formidable a foe.. -

Season 2 is a masterpiece.
Theres more going on, its more brutal/violent, its darker, more fight scenes and more drama..
Murdock's duty as Daredevil causes friction with his job and friends..
And Frank Castle is a badass! -

I actually think the first season of Jessica jones is my fave Netflix marvel show ever.
Ironically, the opposite was true for me. I enjoyed DD season one, outside of Vince whom I started skipping as much as I could (god, his chief henchmen was a more compelling character, and better acted, then Kingpin). So I looked forward to watching JJ.
3 episodes in, I couldn't handle it anymore. I thought the casting was great, and the idea sound, but the story was just so rancid. Every single person was beyond miserable, and got more miserable as time went on, which made it miserable to watch. But I didn't want to skip it for fear of missing some tie in. So i took about 9 months to finally force myself to finish it, and it was so horrible. It somehow got progressively worse and left such a bad taste in my mouth, I held off on watching Season 2 of Daredevil until a few weeks ago (and finished the last 4 eps today). Thankfully, aside from the painful Kingpin episode, it redeemed the tv MCU and I'm now looking forward to watching Luke Cage when I get some time.
