I am not too surprising is that she tooled JJ
Now for some rumors I heard. Putting in spoilers just in case if they are true
Spoiler:
* Foggy is the one who gets Luke released. And Luke makes fun of his nickname
* Jessica gets arrested in ep 2
* Daredevil only wears his suit in the last episode
* Matt reaches the villain building Midland Circle by following JJ so that she does not get into trouble. That's in ep 3. And that's where the Hallway fight is.
* Obviously for those who watched the first ep, Jess gets arrested only in ep 2
* Funny dialogue between Trish and Karen, and in another ep, b/w misty and colleen
Yeah, without going into spoilers she was easily the strongest/most skilled person in the show. Definitely closer to her comic level imo,
Spoiler:.
probably on par with the MCU soldiers at this point
Matt also had some great feats, he
Spoiler:
beat Danny in H2H/and was soloing Bakuto/Masamune (Nobu's master), and kicked Bakuto hard enough to shatter a cinder block
I also loved the ending with

Daredevil and Elektra
Watched all 8 episodes last night and came away feeling... underwhelmed. I liked the slow build-up; the fact that each character got some time to him and herself was actually a nice touch. And the story for the first six episodes was fine - a bit predictable, but fine.
But something felt off with the last two. Perhaps it was just too much of a build-up, perhaps I expected too much, but I felt let-down and when I finished watching I sat there thinking: Meh.
I won't go into details yet or discuss specifics, not until after the weekend, so as not to spoil it for people who are still going to watch it. I'll just say the way I feel now I score it 6/10, even though I really liked the first six episodes.

the entire board of directors of the evil hand corporation are ninjas? They just flat out attack Danny. No minions? None?
They stated that their resources were running thin, which is why i assume we don't see the traditional Hand ninjas Nobu was using. In Iron Fist Bakuto was making a massive recruitment drive, which was stopped when Davos and Danny broke into their compound- so yeah they were desperate which is why they poured all of their resources straight into Black Sky under Alexandra. The writers also remarked that they're more or less finished
Just finished this. I thought it was pretty solid. Still not on par with DD S1 though.
Spoiler:
I thought the story was interesting overall, though it did seem to stall a few times in a few places. I liked most of the cast, but Danny got a bit annoying at various points. I thought Daredevil was great. Good story arc, and great fight scenes. I do wonder how he survived at the end though, and what happened to Elektra. Visual effects were hit and miss. In some scenes, the action and everything looks great. In others, like when Murakami falls down the hole during the final, looked terrible.Elektra was an absolute monster in this. She was kicking the crap out of pretty much everyone who got in her way. Even Luke had serious problems with her, which is pretty impressive, considering he was completely ignoring IF's normal hits, and even took his chi punches without serious issues.
It does make me wonder about the various Fingers of the Hand though. Some, like Bakuto and Murakami, seem to just be highly skilled human level, but Gao can Force Push things, and Sowande was somehow managing to cause Luke pain with his strikes, when even Danny's IF punch barely kept Luke down for a few seconds.
Also, nice Spiderman light feat for Jessica during the finale.
