Daredevil 2.01

Bang

- opens with DD picking off and taking down some armed robbers who are running (on foot) from the cops
- Foggy and Matt on the street, talking about Foggy's love life but that quickly morphs into a discussion of Matt's superhero life
- Foggy and Matt arrive at the office, which is full of potential clients, very different from last season, all of them poor, only able to pay in food
- Karen reveals that they (the law firm) is broke, but later we see them at a bar; maybe Karen was just exaggerating?
- In another part of town a meeting of Irish mobsters is gunned down in cold blood; one man survives, escapes, meets (inadvertently?) Matt, Foggy, and Karen at Josie's; his name is Grotto; before their conversation ends Grotto collapses unconscious, from the wounds he sustained
- Karen takes Grotto to the hospital while the other two investigate the mass killing; Grotto and the police seem to think it is a group or gang but it is not
- Grotto flips out when he discovers that he has been checked into a hospital; Karen does her best to reassure him that they didn't use his real name or reveal what actually happened to him
- Foggy and Matt first visit the scene of the crime where they meet Officer Mahoney; he is reluctant to speak but they eventually convince him that they are on his side and get some information out of him
- As Daredevil, Matt tracks down Turk and gets a lead from him which leads him to a warehouse
- Foggy goes to a biker bar where he learns about the death of a biker whom he helped a few years earlier, and almost gets himself killed
- In the hospital Karen and Grotto almost get killed and are forced to run when someone targeting Grotto comes after him; Grotto is in the assassin's cross-hairs when Daredevil arrives and gets into a fight with the assassin
- The fight goes back and forth on the rooftops until the assassin and shoots Daredevil and he falls off the roof
- Obviously the assassin is the Punisher; similar to the way that Kingpin and Killgrave were introduced, we don't get to see Punisher's face until the very end
- Daredevil's costume looks a bit wonky, especially the eyes
- overall I like it, I want to see more but I don't love it
