The TVI Take

Season 2 sharpens the Murdock-Fisk collision into a genuine examination of authoritarianism and propaganda, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio delivering performances that transcend superhero genre conventions. The courtroom-to-rooftop oscillation gives the narrative a structural discipline that S1 lacked, though the nine-episode architecture occasionally pads its middle act with subplot tangents that slow the procedural momentum.
