I agree. Even though I understood what they were going for I thought the narrative was a little jumbled in the last couple episodes and it lost me a bit.
Finally starting season two of this. Been nearly three years since I saw the first season. Thought it was well made, but not outstanding. Expect more of the same here.
The action is better, and the punisher storyline is just outstanding. The other plot with Elektra falls down a bit. Highly watchable, but not their best work.
The last two episodes were a mess though. Why couldn't they build on the much stronger storylines from the middle of the season, with the law firm, trials and drama with the Punisher, instead of some secret martial arts war?
Right Gao and Elektra will and should have a presence going forward and I'm fine with the Hand being one of many factions our heroes have to deal with just not the main big bad. Really the best thing about the Hand is the surplus of undead ninjas that the good guys can fight and kill but not really kill cause they are already dead thus remaining righteous for action sequences.
