All signs pointing towards an adaptation of the ‘Born Again’ storyline.
And I’m about 90% sure that’s Bullseye impersonating Daredevil at the end.

Really looking forward to DD Season 3, more than any other Netflix Marvel series so far. I strongly suspect the plot will at least partially follow the Daredevil comic book storyline of Born Again (1986-1987) (by writer Frank Miller & artist David Mazzuchelli), which, to many hardcore Daredevil comic book fans - was by far the best storyline of the entire series, ever. This story involved the Kingpin discovering DD's secret identity re: Matt Murdock, and then systematically breaking down & destroying every aspect of MM/DD's life. The trailer to S03 seems to strongly imply that this type of thing may occur. Obviously, as seen towards the end of S02, Fisk is 99% certain that Murdock is DD - based on the research he was doing on Murdock, and also the "experiment" he conducted when Murdock came to see him in prison - i.e., Fisk intentionally attacked Murdock & Matt avoided the attack, which proved to Fisk that MM could "see" or at least "sense" that Fisk was coming after him.
Netflix has really ramped up their Marvel super-hero shows in 2018. This year, they've had S02 of JJ, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist - and now S03 of DD. IIRC, this is the first year we've had all four new series come out with new seasons - very cool.

To say I can't wait would be an understatement.

All signs pointing towards an adaptation of the ‘Born Again’ storyline. And I’m about 90% sure that’s Bullseye impersonating Daredevil at the end. They are lifting elements of the Ann Nocenti run, in the 280s or so, where DD loses his memory and ditches the costume. Bullseye takes over and goes on a crime spree. That arc is memorable for me because it was the first Daredevil comic I ever bought.

Great to have Fisk back playing a much larger role.

Finished it today after the Jets game
I loved it for the most part, but the ending was kind of a letdown for me. Actually, the last 4-5 episodes were sorta all over the place.
Still, it’s right up there with Daredevil Season 1 and Punisher Season 1 in my Netflix Marvel rankings.

3 episodes in. Mixed feelings. My biggest complaint lies mostly with the pacing.

Finished it today. The pacing issues improved (except for episode 10) and I did enjoy the overall story.

Just finished watching the excellent DD S03. Incredible. This is not only my favorite season of DD, but also my favorite season of any Netflix Marvel super-hero show, period. Truly sublime.
Note that adding SPOILER Tags in this forum is not that simple, so I haven't added any here. So, please don't read the below if you haven't finished with the series & genuinely want to be surprised!
-As a huge fan of Frank Miller’s DD comics in the ‘80’s (both his work as artist/writer & just as writer on the later “Born Again” series), I really liked how they brought in various elements from both “Born Again” and FM’s other DD comics (Kingpin finding out Matt's secret identity; Kingpin's goons locking Matt in a car & running it into the water & Matt escaping; Bullseye getting his back broken; Matt’s long-lost mother being a Nun that helps take care of him as he’s recovering from serious injuries; etc.) – but at the same time changed everything around to a great extent so that you were kept guessing until the very end.
-As I’ve mentioned in previous posts about this show, the casting in this Netflix DD show is excellent; all of these roles were spot-on. Initially I felt that they should have gotten an actor with red hair for the Matt Murdock role – but, Charlie Cox personifies the character so well that it doesn’t matter. I.e., for the most part, he definitely looks like Matt from the comic – especially in a suit w/the dark glasses, etc. Foggy & Karen are great casting as well. However, Vincent D. as The Kingpin truly nails this role completely – superb.
-Very impressed with the long, extended fight scene between Matt & the criminals in the prison; this was obviously one long shot from beginning to end – well-done.
-In the comics, Bullseye an almost nameless assassin that was part of DD’s “Rouge Gallery”. Miller didn’t create the character, but definitely made him more ruthless than he had been previously. You never found out much about the character's background whatsoever. However, in this Netflix series, the character of Poindexter (who was never referred to as Bullseye – yet) was humanized to a great extent re: his terrible childhood/absence of parents, etc. That being said, the character was obviously a psychopath from Day 1, as evidenced by his flash-backs and the taped interviews (as a child) to the psychiatrist. And, Matt also grew up without parental guidance (his Mother left him, and his father was killed while Matt was a kid) – but ended up fighting for good, instead of evil. So, as in the comics, Bullseye & Daredevil are almost two sides of the same coin.
-Nice to see Annabelle Sciorra as mob boss Rosalie Carbone. She’s been in a lot of movies/TV shows over the year; my favorite previous role of hers was in The Sopranos.
-Interesting & tragic to see Karen’s tragic past as a drug addict. The sequence when her brother died accidentally in an accident (while she was driving under the influence) was quite hard to watch. This was turned around & modified from the “Born Again” series – in there, Page ended up in a downward spiral (and ended up becoming an addict, and worse) after she quit working with Foggy & Matt.
-I liked how Fisk was eventually referred to as the Kingpin (for the first time on the series). Also dug the scene when he had rows of identical & numerous white suits in his closet; this kept in line with the character in the comics – who was almost always wearing the same white suit.
- I thought it was clever how Matt “used” Bullseye to help him fight the Kingpin. I.e., he told Bullseye the truth about the Kingpin killing the woman he liked, so Bullseye would turn against Fisk. Though he still had to fight both Fisk & Bullseye in the final showdown (in Fisk’s luxurious hotel room), obviously Matt couldn’t have brought down Fisk without Bullseye’s “help”.
-The last scene of Poindexter/Bullseye being operated on was very telling; obviously the character will come back in a future season, probably new & improved. That’s what happens in the comics, so I suspect they will do something similar in the series.
