A Daredevil Season 2 Review: With Spoilers and Opinions

Daredevil Season 2 Slightly Spoiler-filled Review

“Every time I think I’ve seen it all, Hell’s Kitchen manages to sneak up and kick me right in the balls…”

I know the cop wasn’t talking about anything more than the city he is trying to protect, but with the twists and turns in the three act play called Daredevil season two on Netflix, he could well have been talking about the show itself, and this season in particular.
