I liked the premise and I liked the story although I did get lost from time to time. I thought Vincent D'Law and Order was great. Wesley was the perfect weasel. I liked all the bad guys. Even Warden Norton did a good job.
Matt was ok. Got a little tired of his dour mood. Then there is Foggy. Maybe the worst wacky sidekick in history. Didn't approach funny. Was a total whiny useless ***** and no way does that blond sleep with that pale tub of goo. I mean I hated him. I hated Wesley in a good way. I hated foggy like a root canal. Jessica the Vampire was pretty good, and she did put 6 holes in the weasel. Ben was a great slovenly gritty reporter.
But did it seem Wilson Fiske wasn't very good at what he did? I mean he somehow amassed a fortune prior, but his run in the show was a comedy of errors. He was constantly apologizing for screwing everything up.
He's susceptible to pride and anger.
His mistakes came from his pride and unwillingness to admit he messed up or was outsmarted. Pride was his downfall almost the entire series.
Anger from that leaves him blind with rage (killing the Russian with a car door). He gets sloppy.
Before DareDevil, no one could keep pace with Fisk and make him that angry or damage his pride.
In PunisherMAX: Kingpin, Fisk is actually so set on something he willfully lets a rival mob boss kill Richard (Fisk's son) just because he refuses to put down his gun and be seen as lesser.
