Anyone else going to be watching this? The latest (and last) trailer is superb!

Every episode is released this Friday on Netflix and should be 'must watch' TV if it lives up to the promise of that trailer.

My weekend is already set aside for a major Netflix binge watch (did the same with HOC Season 4 a couple of weeks back). Season 1 of DD is up there with the best TV I've ever watched.
Currently catching up on the Marvel TV Universe by watching Jessica Jones. It's ok but a bit samey and I can't stand David Tennant, never misses a chance to overact...

Spoiler free review and it's even better than season 1!

Finished the season tonight. Even though I was intending to make it last by watching an episode a night for the next few weeks I just couldn't stop watching.
Holy crap that was f
king exceptional.
Every single character got to shine but Bethnal was on a whole different level. Brutal, singular in his focus, totally believable and quite bloody scary at times. His journey through the series was amazing. I really liked Thomas Jane as the Punisher in the (flawed) movie he did. I always liked his take on the character.
Although now I know, Thomas Jane was not the Punisher... John Bethnal is.
That scene in the prison...
Roll on season 3 of DD and I cannot wait to see them do a standalone Punisher show.

Finished it last night. I can't believe they topped season 1, but they did, by a mile. I think I preferred Jessica Jones, but that's more personal taste than there being anything wrong with Daredevil, quite the opposite. I am a huge Punisher fan, he's the reason I still like comic books as an adult, thanks to my local newsagent getting a few copies when I was a kid and not being familiar with the idea of comics being made for a mature audience. 
Jon Bernthal is exceptional, truly exceptional. Do they give Emmy awards to Netflix shows? Because he needs one, totally believable as a lethal killer yet keeping the damaged and fragile aspects of Frank Castle that make him a great character.
My one tiny gripe - the scene where Punisher chains up Daredevil and forces him to make a choice. That is lifted from 'Welcome Back Frank', one of my favourite Punisher collections, and one of my all-time favourite scenes in comics. I squealed when I saw the early set photos of Daredevil chained up on a rooftop with Punisher and knew they were going to recreate this, so I was really looking forward to it. They executed it brilliantly, but they changed the ending. I think the ending in the comics would have been more interesting and would have given a great bit of soul-searching for Matt Murdoch to go through in the subsequent episodes.
Also, is it just me or has Karen got at least 20 times hotter since season 1?!

I also had planned to watch a few episodes a week, but binged my way through, finishing it last night.
Agree with what's been said about being than season 1, and the excellence of Jon Bethnal. I expect Marvel and Netflix will be changing their plans again to include a Puniisher stand-alone series.
Deborah Woll (Karen Page) has definitely come a little my way since True Blood.
