Set immediately after events in The Defenders: Season 1, the third season of Daredevil finds our hero in crisis. Physically, he's a wreck, and damaged hearing renders him nearly powerless. Spiritually, he's wrestling mightily with who he is, what he does, and how he does it. But he doesn't have time to think things through; the Kingpin, though in prison, is manipulating the FBI and slowly returning to his lavish lifestyle atop the city as criminal mastermind. And by his side is an agent with a unique gift . . . he always hits the Bullseye.
Season three has the hallmarks of the first two- after a slow start, there was lots of suspense, brutal violence, and intrigue. I was mildly disappointed that the show returned to Kingpin as the focus- I felt there were other characters to explore. And, sadly, the show was canceled, so the teaser at the end was pointless. Though the season conclusion was largely satisfying, knowing that it's the series ending leaves me wanting more.
Rating: B+
