THE WHOLE “TELEVISION” thing has been an up-and-down ride for Marvel Studios. While the Disney+ endeavor got off to a ripping, roaring start with the inventive and exciting WandaVision, others in the catalogue were less successful. The studio put out plenty of solid projects, but others maybe should have been movies, and a few just never really found the right audience.

In many ways, that might be why the superhero studio was excited to ultimately get to Daredevil: Born Again, a quasi-reboot of the Netflix-produced Daredevil series starring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, the titular blind crime-fighting vigilante, and Vincent D’Onofrio as the powerful, imposing, and unstable criminal mastermind Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. As the theory goes, Daredevil was originally conceived for TV—and had three well-liked seasons on Netflix—and so bringing it back to that format would come naturally. This is a stark difference from some other Marvel shows that sometimes felt like a movie broke up into six parts rather than a TV show in proper.

The return wasn’t so simple. While the first season of Daredevil: Born Again greatly benefitted from the return of Cox and D’Onofrio, shooting on location in New York City, and a couple of appearances from Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, there was also some major behind the scenes turmoil. At times, things felt disjointed and like not all the pieces were entirely adding up—that’s because the initial creative team working on the season were fired, and a new team was brought in to finish things up and scrap a full season together. They certainly made due; While not without issue, the first season of Daredevil: Born Again was ultimately solid enough.

But where it was most successful was in setting up a second season that should without question be more seamless and streamlined—having one unified team working on it rather than a Frankenstein’s monster of Daredevil ideas will do that. Season 2 will also mark the return of another Netflix Marvel fan favorite in Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones (who led her own show, Jessica Jones, for three seasons). Marvel fans are eating good right now, and especially those who loved the Netflix-verse.

As Daredevil: Born Again picks up the pieces from the first season—following Fisk’s declaration of fascistic war on vigilantes, and Daredevil’s promise to fight back—we’re ready for what should be one of Marvel’s best shows yet. Below, we make sure you won’t miss a single episode.
