I wrapped up the Netflix Marvel offerings a few days ago and, though all had entertaining elements (some moreso in season 2), am still dealing with a toss-up in terms of Daredevil vs. Punisher being my fave of the lot.
Punisher is a (finally) decent treatment of source material for a difficult character. But Daredevil is far and away the best Marvel series that Netflix licensed. The actors are believable, the character motivations are complex, the choreography is brutally great and the camerawork is levels above anything else. Seas 03 Ep 4 has a 7 minute single take with three fights in confined spaces (the prison riot) - that must have been absolute hell to film, especially since it wasn't on a constructed sound stage, but in an actual prison where they had to map it based on location limitations. That sequence is nearly every bit as impressive as the 6 minute long take by Cary Fukunaga & Adam Arkapaw from True Detective in Seas 01 Ep 04 "Who Goes There."
