Spoilers Rank the Marvel - Netflix Seasons

Daredevil Season 2
Daredevil Season 1
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones

I liked them all (more or less), but I loved the expanded universe that Daredevil Season 2 showed and I love how they handled Punisher and Electra. DD Season 1 was original and had the big hitter Kingpin who was envisioned fantastically. Luke Cage was good but I'm not a big fan of the actor, though they portrayed Cage pretty much how I imagined him. Jessica Jones was fine but there were some WTF moments (like how she handled Killgrave).

Again though, I did enjoy them all.

DD season 2 suffered from not having a strong and compelling antagonist like the Kingpin, and it was kind of more like two seasons combined into one, but I still really liked it. It features the best on-screen incarnation of the Punisher by far, and both Foggy and Karen were excellent. I actually thought Matt took a bit of a step backward in this season, but I wonder if that was intentional since Elektra's supposed to have that kind of effect on him.

JJ was really good for most of its run but really started losing steam in the last three or four episodes, which featured a lot of padding that really didn't need to be there. I thought the action choreography was really weak, but it's also not really that kind of show, being more of a psychological thriller than an action adventure. David Tennant's phenomenal Kilgrave will be missed, but there's no way the writers could have let him continue to exist beyond this season, not with the way his ability developed.

I thought LC was brilliant for the first seven episodes or so, but then it suddenly swerves off-course by killing Cottonmouth and bringing in Diamondback. I'm not opposed to the switch on paper, but the writing and acting for Diamondback was just so over-the-top and hammy, and his personal connection to Luke was kind of eye-roll worthy. Theo Rossi and Alfre Woodard were superb, though.

DD season 1 is still the gold standard, of course.
