[Netflix] Daredevil: Season 3

Some of my thoughts - spoilers for the entire season.

I actually didn't know Bullseye's real name, so that made the reveal so much cooler
I did know Maggie was Matt's mother, and was wondering if they were just leaving that out or what
I actually liked the Bullseye and Karen background episodes
The whole season felt different - almost more narrative. It worked well.
The neti pot fixing his equilibrium was kinda weird to me though. Like...has he not sneezed or anything?

To your #6 - I was thinking we'd see some variant of that bladed costume I had linked in the first post. I suppose the Muay Thai Ropes were the best we were going to get.

I'm sure there's more, I'll have to add on later.


I didn't realize Bullseye has gone by Pointdexter either. I had not really watched the previews, so I had no idea until the "baseball" scene that the agent was going to end up being Bullseye. The hat logo sorta gave that away.

I did know Maggie was his mom and was wondering if they weren't going to go that route. I found the way he found out to be powerful and emotional, but mostly his talk with the Father Lantom In a way, it really felt like it was an allegory of sorts to the child abuse scandal in the church. "All this talk of truth".

I enjoyed the overall theme of people being flawed, but it's never too late to redeem some aspect of yourself.

I liked the background episodes too. For a bit, I was getting annoyed with the Karen one. Maybe it would have been better much earlier in the season. Because, both of those background stories (as well as the short bit for Sister Maggie), really did a lot to explain how these characters ticked. The Dex one was better done, because it also showed us how good Kingpin was at reading people and pushing their buttons to manipulate them. Some of his schemes seemed to be over a year in the making (like with the female FBI SAC)

I won't lie.. I missed DD being in a proper suit. I understand him going back to the old one, and it made telling him apart from Dex easier. Which, was a nice capstone when the NYPD Detective Mahoney said, "that's not Daredevil" "how do you know?" "Because that guy is!"

I actually did wonder how Karen's brother died. I always assumed it was a suicide based on things she had said. man, it was so much worse. Explains why her father didn't want her there. I was very confused why he was holding a grudge. I do think her scene would have played better earlier in the season to make that moment where she calls her dad for help have more impact.

I sort of wondered if DD had Dex turn on Fisk so that Dex would kill Fisk for DD. That way he'd still not be a murderer. I guess it was more to clear his name and maybe thin out the security.
