'Daredevil' Season 2 Episode 1 Spoilers: The Punisher is here

The long wait is finally over so rejoice all you fans of the hit TV series ‘Daredevil’. After months of waiting and wanting, the show is now back for the premiere of its second season and the good news is more than enough to keep the fans excited, so to give you a clue on what will come your way, read on for spoilers.

 ‘Daredevil’ misses Fisk over its first seven episodes, or at least it misses the through-line threat that he presented. In Fisk's place, Matt Murdock and Daredevil's shared insecurities are being piqued by a pair of antiheroes who represent a funhouse mirror version of The Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Fortunately, the two new characters are vividly realized and the action is still visceral and brutal and maybe the big picture will emerge in the season's second half.

We will also be seeing Jon Bernthal as The Punisher who will wreck havoc to the city and will kill without doing a double over. The Punisher is taking on the city's criminal element with no interest in second chances or redemption. He's appointed himself judge, jury and executioner, which doesn't play too well with Matt, who's stuck between a night job outside of the law and a day job working within the system.

New showrunners Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez continue to follow the template established by Drew Goddard and Steven S. DeKnight in the first season in allowing characters to talk as much as they fight. As exciting as it is to watch Punisher and Daredevil grapple with their fists, the characters' debates on moral relativism in the third episode are even better. Daredevil isn't afraid of monologues and Bernthal slays a couple, making this probably the best work he's ever done.

And as for the character that everyone is also curious about, Elodie Young will play Elektra, a mysterious woman from Matt's past with pugilistic artistry of her own. We won’t be seeing her yet in the first few episodes so we shall have to keep our patience for this yet.

Excited to know more about the show? Find out as Season 2 of ‘Daredevil’ premieres March 18 on Netflix.
