Episode 10: “The Man in the Box”
Frank’s escape complicate Matt’s plan to protect the Hand’s victims. It also reveals that the DA was the corrupt one responsible for the botched sting that killed Frank’s family. And it all involves a shadowy figure named the Blacksmith who was looking to control the drug trade Fisk’s incarceration freed up.
Charlie Cox’s face-off with D’Onofrio proves that two actors in a room can be monumentally more epic than any fight scene if done right. As far as monologues, Fisk gives a pretty good one, portending his wrath once released. To me, it seems to clearly hint that a Season 3 would be an adaptation of the classic comic “Born Again” where Kingpin, informed of Daredevil’s secret identity (by Karen Page no less), systematically dismantles every part of Matt Murdock’s life.
It’s pretty hilarious how Matt treats Foggy now, ignoring him completely. There should be a supercut of all the times Matt blows him off with a “Now is not a good time.” It’s like he was reading my reviews. In other news, Stick sent a French assassin to kill Elektra because, well, why the hell not? Unfortunately we all know the French are unreliable (I kid, French readers) and it sets her on a warpath against her mentor.
