Forgot to point out - I declare spoiler tags until April 1. That's plenty of time to allow people to see it.
Just finished the season opener, Bang.
Cannot wait for the remaining 12 episodes.

Pretty much from the pre-credits scene you can already feel the difference in pacing and tone. Yes, I mean that as if to say it's an improvement. That's not to say that is doesn't follow thematically or artistically from where Season 1 finished. It's still hardboiled and gritty, but it's fun. Season 1 got so entrenched on the gloom and darkness that it, at times, suffered from Battlestar Galactica syndrome in that the journey felt dour. This time around, even when violent, there's a flair to the pacing that keeps you watching and rooting for the character. The banter between Matt, Foggy, and Karen is great while even Turk (the arms dealer) is great to watch. Meanwhile, Punisher is the thrill ride that was promised in the trailers. Again, as dark and intense as his character is, he is fun to watch which is a contrast to Fisk. Fisk was an excellent character, but I felt sad for Fisk most of the time. With Punisher, i'm punching the air in the same way I was for Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight.
