Wow! Just wow!! I am absolutely hooked on this show and this episode is one of the reasons why.
We finally get a backstory for Fisk and it's brilliant yet brutal. You can see where the vulnerability comes from and it really makes you feel for the character (and weirdly at the end even root for him!). The acting by D'Onofrio and the kid that plays him in his youth are incredible. We also get to see Vanessa as the rock that supports Fisk - creepy but something he really needed.
It's going to be interesting to see how the story picks up from here...the show is about Daredevil, yet Kingpin has definitely overtaken the character in terms of the show's biggest strengths - but the story is still amazing and continues to entertain the viewer. Possibly one of the best episodes so far.
