I see what they’re going for with a lot of this, but it leaves a lot to be desired on my end. I like that we see Matt and Fisk starting to take off their respective “masks” more and more, I think that is working. I felt that the edit was a little rough though, shoving these parallels in our faces with the least subtlety possible. I’m not saying the Netflix series was any expert display of subtlety, but it’s been hard to get over with this series. I don’t think this series is bad or anything, I’ve just found myself whelmed these past few weeks. Not underwhelmed, just a regular level of whelmed. Even the Frank scene that people were raving about a couple episodes ago didn’t feel flawless. It’s been difficult to not draw comparisons to the Netflix show, but I truly am doing my best to ignore that, it’s just quite difficult when we’ve seen this premise executed to near perfection, which it feels like this series has lost some of the essence of.
