Charlie Cox in Daredevil

Last year, Marvel and Netflix redeemed The Man Without Fear after the 2003 Ben Affleck vehicle tarnished his reputation.

Season 2 of the show only upped the ante, introducing popular Marvel characters like the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Elektra (Elodie Yung) into the picture. While setting up the in-development spinoff for the former, Daredevil also manages to deepen the journey of its central hero, as he finds himself more conflicted than ever before.
