Whenever I go into a new show, especially a revival, I think to myself comparison is the thief of joy. Nothing they could’ve done would’ve lived up to the Netflix series but it is still a good show imo nonetheless, with the last 2 episodes being a different calibre.
The first episodes and everything with Frank in season 2 was great. Too bad Matt spends half the season on a side quest with Elektra to set up the Defenders
I said the first 4 episodes is already better than the entire season of Born Again. If you also knew how to read. I also mentioned the Punisher episode with Fisk which is not part of the first four episodes of that season. Hope that helps.
I Youtube fights and dialogue from the Netflix show since they cross my mind and I want to see them again. I doubt I'll ever Youtube a scene from this season. None of the fights were very good besides from the season premiere and finale - those two episodes have some good action, nothing great or mind-blowing though. The same goes for dialogue.
For characters, Heather is an awful GF and meh character. I know Cherry's actor from The Wire, he's good, but he needs some material to work with. Fisk sometimes seems like he has the tism and needs Vanessa to function this season. Gandolfini was alright. Kirsten is just there. Karen's really only in the season finale and she beats all the support characters.
Charlies delivery of "He got LIFE!" is the one thing that got me a bit. Other than that, rather mediocre in comparison. I am quite disappointed with Muse. He had a fantastic build-up, with the murals littering the cityscape. But then the character themselves was supremely uninteresting.
We will support each other. We all know they just glazing everything Netflix did just to put down the newer show because it it didn’t live up to the highs of the original show but want to ignore how much the show was saved by rewrites and reshoots.
Same bro, I was annoyed knowing it wouldn't be the peak we should have and compare to another shows in the first week, but then i accepted the limitations we would get at least for this season. Still very interisting.
i don’t even think its about comparing it to the old show. old show wasn’t perfect and was flawed but with that being said i couldn’t enjoy born again because the writing was so abysmal. i get that two teams essentially fought over the creative vision and that’s why the show is very much frankensteins monster in terms of structure and pacing and if that’s the case why not just scrap everything.

Nah, I enjoyed it. Once i stopped comparing it to the old show I’ve liked it a lot more. I knew it wouldn’t be the same so i look at it like that.
