The first season of Netflix’s Daredevil
series was so good that it almost made me forget about the 2003 abomination
(almost, that’s a wound that lingers). It was dark and gritty and got the
characters right without just rehashing the comics; the action was, at times,
as good as anything we’ve seen in years (that fight at the end of episode 2 is
mind-blowing); and it delivered damn near everything I wanted as a lifelong fan
of the Man Without Fear. Now it looks like Marvel is adding an important new
character for season 2, Elektra.
