Season 1 started a bit slow and I was not sure in what way it would develop. With all the superhero movies and series going on, I was a bit sceptic if yet another series would be worth my time. Then I watched the linked series Jessica Jones and Daredevil more or less side by side. Not bad; I enjoyed it. Jessica Jones was a bit too much drama and too much psycho stuff for my taste, but my g.f. enjoyed it a lot with the strong woman in the lead and heck, overall I can say that it didn't bore me :)
Now season 2 has come and I just finished watching the last episode. It's been feeling a bit repetitive in the last few episodes and also extremely predictable. I wont give any spoilers, but the ending I could really see coming a mile away, even the side story about Frank and how everything comes together again at the end. Not extremely bad, considering it's a series and not a movie, but it could have been a tad little bit less totally obvious what would be happening. Some unexpected plot turns is what keeps things interesting... this season did not have any. Also one additional point of criticism is that season 2 has become way too graphic. Cutting off hands, ripping throats, pulling out eyes, cutting into prisoners legs, very grapich torture on just about every single episode, putting Sai's into bad guys eyes... etc. Too much guys! Not needed to try to gross people out completely. Turn it down a notch please, ok?
However, I'm still looking forward to season 3 and the -sooner or later to be expected- formation of the Defenders. But I guess that wont be until at least 2017 as we're still lacking the introduction of Iron Fist, as far as I know. I dont believe this to be a spoiler, as most fans know about it and else a quick look around Google will tell you the (Netflix) Defenders being Daredevil, Jessico Jones, Lucas Cage(from Jessica Jones), Ironfist.
