I'm really not sure about this releasing a whole season all at once thing
Aside from the fact you have to stay away from spoilers, it's quite indulgent
Maybe release a new episode every other day ? that would make it last 3.5 weeks
I know you can watch however many you want but part of the fun of shows like this is the inbetween episode discussions you can have.
Now you just can't have them, only one end of season discussion

Soooo you're just not happy w/ how a discussion of a show happens now?
Seems like a minor gripe. You enjoyed a previous release format but this whole shoot your load in one go just is too much for you cuz you don't get enough talk about each episode. I guess that makes sense.
I actually prefer it this way. I don't watch any TV really. This lets me have control on how I watch it.

The only thing I don't like about releasing the entire season at once is that I have to wait a year to watch new episodes! Thankfully we'll have more Jessica Jones and Luke Cage soon.

Finished! I have to say, the last couple episodes disappointed me too.
Spoilers for Episodes 11-13 and thoughts about the entire ending and plot -
Overall, I felt like none of the new characters or overall story came close to the gravitas that Fisk had last season. The show did a real good job introducing the new players, I just think the show didn't do a good job keeping the momentum up with the story that they were working with.

It may be a "minor gripe," but OD is hardly the first person to bring this up. There's absolutely something to be said for both a collective cultural experience and the opportunity for each episode to stand on its own. I think the biggest problem with the "all at once model" is that all the episodes just blur together and there's less pressure to have each one achieve greatness.
Most here just go through it like:
I've watched 7 episodes so far, good stuff
I'm through 9 episodes holy shit!!
Just finished the season, good stuff. Looking forward to season 3.
And then that's it end of thread and end of their participation. The threads for these binge shows end up being very bland and dead when everyone blows their load in 3-4 days.

While releasing all episodes may limit forum discussion, I think the viewer experience is improved by not having to wait week to week. Between the two, I prefer the ability to see the entire story at your own pace. Discussions are fun, but I like indulging myself in a series like this all at once more.

Another issue with watching them all at once is that since it blends together over the course of a day or two, one year later I forgot a ton of what happened the previous season. To a lesser degree, that's also the case with shows with short 10 week runs too. I watch as they air, forget about it for a year, then the next season, occasionally I have to go "what the fuck are they talking about? - oh wait yeah I sorta remember that..."

Binge watching is the most fun way to watch tv. I don't want to lose that even if it does hamper episodic discussions. Waiting 9 months to see a full season of a tv show is so antiquated.

Love the first few episodes but it painful trying to watch episode 4-6 with Elektra in it. I will wait a few days and then resume watching.

I think it takes away a lot from talking about specific plot points in each episode.
Most here just go through it like:

I'm through 9 episodes holy shit!!

Finished last night. Last few eps were all right. My thoughts:
Still need to see Jessica Jones, but the references were so blatant that even having only seen part of one ep, I probably caught all of them.

I also thought it was weird too w/ Karen. I thought the same thing you did about how others would feel about that there.
Didn't bother me that Matt was holding back some things. This season really shows how much issues Matt has in accepting in people helping and knowing his issues. I think it fit well in that.

I just felt it was like two different shows. Not even with the lawyer stuff, but I'm talking about in terms of Daredevil interacting with the supposedly supernatural stuff on one side, and then the Punisher stuff on the other. All that warring faction shit reminded me of Blade: The Series.
Also was it just me or

What doesn't help it is that Frank has resolution but he never full out becomes what we thought he would be cuz... he's The Punisher. We only get an assist. What would have been better is if Frank came in big. The episode highlighted how big this Hand was but in the actual encounter it seemed very normal compared to what Matt and Elektra had handled. The show needed an epic finale for all that. It didn't. It got a normal resolution as if we were still missing more episodes. It needed Frank kicking ass at the end in a big way.
Goddamn them. They were do so fuckng good w/ Frank and then the end... doesn't hurt Frank but it just gets so much bigger and menacing the more we're w/ Frank that the end just doesn't really show him off.
He was easily the most interesting character here. Just cuz he was hurting so bad.

I also thought this Frank was going to cross a line he doesn't do. But he didn't. His decoy and all that afterwards? I seriously thought Frank was going to cross that line cuz he was pissed. But no. Glad he didn't go that route.
I thought he did recognize him just cuz the way he moved about it in that confrontation but he didn't act like it afterwards.
Remember the end? They took out the box and killed the guy that works there.

Frank taped the guy's hands to the wheel. That was a decoy for Frank so he could get Grotto from the DA.
And at the end after they leave we get a moment afterwards that show that they took out the coffin and killed the guy working there. They took out the coffin.

Just finished the season. Loved it. Frank Castle is a badass. Best scene in the season was Castle
. I hope we get a spin off series.
I had no idea
would be in this season, so that was a pleasant surprise. I also liked Carrie Anne Moss showing up to merge the worlds or Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Alot of great action scenes, great acting by the entire cast. I'm still not sure how I feel about Elektra. The actress did as good a job as she could, but I feel like they could have found someone better.
Anyway, can't wait for more next year.

Ok, now that I'm done watching I don't hate you all any more.
I can watch many more seasons if this if they keep it up.
However, I could have used more Punisher doing more punishing things while donning the skull.
And questions about the colonel:
