Daredevil: Season 3 Finale Review

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil Season 3, Episode 13. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review of Season 3, episode 12.

"Today was the happiest day of my life."

Well this is certainly a crazed, charged blaze of glory!

Daredevil vs. Bullseye vs. Kingpin? Are you kidding me?

All while Poindexter's trying to kill Vanessa and Matt keeps stopping him? This is pure malicious magic.

And bloody magic too. In fact, funny to note, as soon as you see both Fisk and Vanessa wearing sheer white (with that trademark rose as a final touch) you can almost smell that things are going to get messy. It seemed like either Vanessa was going to get killed, spilling her blood all over Fisk while she dies in his arms, or Fisk was going to kill someone else and get that sinister splatter all over him. Hell, he could've even spilled celebratory nuptial meatballs all over himself, but somehow that garb was going to get ruined. Fisk, at his most powerful, at the happiest he's ever been, was going to face tragedy.

Daredevil Season 3, Episode 12: “One Last Shot” Review

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil Season 3, Episode 12. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review of Season 3, episode 11.

"I hurt people. My pride hurt people. And I need to make that right again."

Here we are at the penultimate episode of Daredevil Season 3 - perhaps even the penultimate episode of Daredevil as a series, if Netflix's recent Marvel show cancelations are meant to signal something dire - and... well, things don't quite work out for our heroes.

Daredevil Season 3, Episode 11: “Reunion” Review

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil Season 3, Episode 11. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review of Season 3, episode 10.

"I know who you are, Mr. Fisk. You’re a wolf too."

As we head into the home stretch of Season 3, "Reunion" reforms and re-galvanizes the show's core trio - Matt, Karen, and Foggy - while also finding moments of redemption for Sister Maggie and Agent Nadeem. It's a gripping boxed-in/search-and-rescue story - not unlike Season 1's "Condemned" - that places Matt and Karen in a pressure cooker while restoring Fisk to the mountain top.

Daredevil Season 3, Episode 10: “Karen” Review

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil Season 3, Episode 10. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review of Season 3, episode 9.

"Mom lost again."

Yes, "Karen" represents a pause in the story, somewhat, for about two-thirds of this episode, but that time is spent in giant flashback to Karen's tragic past and not our present day characters pacing, blabbing redundant dialogue, or hemming and hawing around the actual story.

Boy, it's about time this series got around to illuminating certain aspects of Karen. Usually, all we get are Matt-centric trips down memory lane. In fact, even with all the mentions of her brother this season, I still didn't expect this much focus on her. Yes, I thought the brother stuff would resurface in a big way, but I didn't figure we'd actually devote this much time and effort to Karen's dark past.
