This episode is absolutely fantastic :) Vincent D'Onofrio is absolutely exceptional as Fisk in this episode as you see why his very nature is violence and why he does so many irrational, horrible things! The episode is about his childhood and its messed up to say the least. Domenick Lombardozzi gives an absolutely chilling performance as Wilson Fisk's father. He's an alcoholic and you see how he abuses both him and his mother. It's rare you see a villain centred episode THIS compelling to watch, plus it gives you more about his associates like Leland Owlsley (Bob Gunton) who constantly doubts everything Fisk does. Also the cold way he gets Sgt. Brett Mahoney to murder his childhood friend to keep him quiet is completely chilling.

Meanwhile Matt Murdock finds out about Karen and Foggy's involvement in the Union Allied investigation and as Daredevil informs Ulrich about Wilson Fisk running everything, which eventually leads to mind games between Fisk and Murdock. It's brilliant writing. Absolutely exceptional episode from beginning to end.
