Daredevil season 2 concludes with a finale that tops last year's and has us primed for more from Hell's Kitchen. Spoilers...

Well, it’s finally over. And as finales go, I think that topped last year’s slightly underwhelming punch-up, even if Nobu and his ninjas were never quite as compelling an antagonist as Fisk.
But first, the others: as predicted, Frank did indeed turn up to help Matt in the final battle, though perfunctory barely covers his role in the fight, which is a shame. Foggy gets kicked up to the big time, joining Jeri Hogarth’s firm (didn’t see that coming!) presumably so the supporting cast can all be in one place in time for The Defenders miniseries. And Karen gets a job as a reporter, though her expose on city government corruption got busted down to,...

Please remember to keep spoilers for future episodes out of the comments!
This was kind of a strange episode. Perhaps motivated by the need to wrap up Frank’s storyline without having it steal time from the end of Matt’s, this instalment sees Frank finally track down and confront the guy who made his life a misery: The Blacksmith. And it turns out to be Colonel Schoonover, Frank’s old commander. That guy we met for like three minutes that one time.
I’m probably not alone in thinking this isn’t a particularly satisfying reveal, though it also isn’t like they had anywhere else to go with it because this series wasn’t exactly stuffed with characters who had any kind of personal connection to Frank. I’d...

Please remember to keep spoilers for future episodes out of the comments!
As the show reaches its climax, there’s a definite sense that the plot’s speeding up again after a few slower (though still gripping) episodes. So let’s tackle the various threads in turn.
First, The Hand’s attack on the hospital. A great fight scene, and one with a genuinely unexpected ending as the blood-bank rescues turn out to be either brainwashed, mystically controlled or in on the whole Hand thing. We see evidence that one of the Hand ninjas appears to have been autopsied already in the past, giving us a slight nudge towards considering their claims about being able to grant immortality. And although Claire’s bosses are mad about her actions, they get paid off, forcing her to quit in moral outrage.

The mysticism is coming thick and fast in Daredevil season two, which lays groundwork for Iron Fist and a possible season 3 tease...
Please remember to keep spoilers for future episodes out of the comments!
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting the Kingpin to be back so soon after last episode, but I’m glad he is because the face-to-face confrontation of Murdock and Fisk is probably my favourite scene of the series yet. Seeing Matt’s confidence utterly undone by the sudden fury of the Kingpin as he reveals this extent of his control, slamming Matt’s surprised face into the table while the guard looks the other way was utterly fantastic. Clearly, it was a bad move trying to go through Vanessa to get to Fisk.
Claire’s reappearance is always welcome, and I’m enjoying the way her own arc is moving through the various Marvel shows.

With the help of the hugely talented Jon Bernthal, Marvel has finally done tragic and brutal on-screen justice to The Punisher. Spoilers...
This article contains major spoilers for the whole of Daredevil seasons one and two.
It's only been a week since Netflix released season two of Marvel's Daredevil, but lots of fans and viewers would already declare Jon Bernthal's take on Frank Castle to be the best screen version of the Punisher to date. He's not even the principal antagonist, but he steals scenes left and right all the way through the season.
Following the acclaimed portrayal of Wilson Fisk last season, new showrunners Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez provide a more humanised spin on the character than is traditionally depicted in the comics, without having him get pally with his neighbours, like the 2004 film did, or having him indiscriminately blow up free runners with a bazooka,...

Last week, I published my review of the first half of Daredevil season 2. Over the weekend, I watched the remaining six episodes, and I have some more thoughts — first general, non-spoiler ones, followed by more specific and spoiler-filled thoughts on each episode — coming up just as soon as I inherit the tapes with the car... In some ways, the back half of the season was an improvement over the first, thanks to the arrival of two strong characters, and the rapid shift away from a few story threads (mob war, Reyes' vendetta against the law firm) that never worked in the first place. But in others, it continued many of the problems I had through the first seven hours. It was still too cluttered and flabby, while Daredevil himself remained one of the least interesting parts of a show that bore his name. Also, the later episodes focused more on Elektra than Punisher,...

Before she was “Pretty Woman” or an Oscar winner for “Erin Brockovich”—before her first-ever acting credit, actually—Julia Roberts auditioned for the 1985 film “Seven Minutes in Heaven.” With Alan Boyce, the young actor performs a heated fight scene. And though Roberts shows true composure for someone so new to the scene, the role ultimately went to Jennifer Connelly. (But things turned out Ok for Roberts, too.) Want to see more? Check out “9 Great Actors’ Audition Tapes!”...
