It's good. Off the top of my head, things to note:


- Danny is more likable overall. Still kind of shitty at the whole "vigilante" thing but he's at least self-aware this time and learns to get better over time. And it's balanced out by him being a bit closer to Danny in the comics (though not fully).

- Colleen is probably the MVP of the season. You could honestly argue that the show is as much about her as it is Danny. I don't want to spoil anything but she kicks so much ass and she's probably gonna be kicking even more ass going forward.

- Davos is a more compelling villain than ANY of the villains from the first season. I think a lot of that comes from the fact that he can basically be summed up as an unhinged, less compassionate version of Danny, and that actually reflects Danny's own personal growth throughout the season.

- Ward continues to be one of the best acted and consistently interesting characters of the show.

- Typhoid Mary is.....interesting. I liked her in the show, but she never goes all-out crazy like I was expecting her too. Fortunately for us, they've only just set the groundwork for her character.

- One of the BEST parts of this season: no more boardroom antics. They've pretty much phased that part of the show out entirely and the entirety of the plot of the second season revolves around Chinatown and the rivalry between the two gangs within it, with Davos as a wildcard.

- Misty gets a lot more screen time than I was expecting. I thought it'd be like the Heroes for Hire episode of Luke Cage where she shows up for an episode or two, but nope....Misty is in damn near half of the season (or at least it feels like it), and I love it because she's probably my favorite supporting character/ally of any of these shows (Hasbro needs to give her a damn Legend). And there's actually quite a few scenes of the Daughters of the Dragon kicking ass together.

- Unfortunately, Danny doesn't ever really rock an all-out Iron Fist attire. I don't really mind, because I like his "street vigilante" look as a more grounded look, since it's at least visually distinct, unlike "a jacket". The white suit you see is limited strictly to flashbacks. But without spoiling anything, it doesn't seem like him rocking the classic mask is totally out of the question.

- The ending actually has me super hyped for Season 3. All I'm gonna say is it rhymes with "Coursin' Handle".
