Just finished it. Intense. It's not the same personal story as season 1, and they shoehorn Karen in in a way that's completely meaningless. Also, the John Pilgrim character is interesting enough, but he is kinda stifled in a season that's packed with all kinds of storylines.
They could've left the Russo stuff out and saved it for season 3. Or not. I dunno. I wasn't as in to the Billy stuff as I was with Castle being kind of a drifter and being drawn back into due to wanting to save the girl. That was a far better storyline for me. Though I did like the Russo stuff, the girl and her thread in the show was more intriguing for me.
The fight sequences in this season are fucking brutal. There's one in a rat hole gym that's just a fucking car wreck, and i loved it. Also, as good as most of the cast in these Netflix shows has been, Bernthal is easily my fave, even more than Cox as Murdock/Daredevil. I love his character and I hopewe somehow get a 3rd season out of this.
