Did the 2nd half of season 3 drag out to anybody else?


Starting with s3 e07. At this point Fisk has his tendrils into the FBI and they're pretty much his bitch. He's out and loose

I watched from epis. 9 to epis. 11 thinking there would be other developments, but those just seemed like padding. I just wanted to "wrap it up" so I ended up skipping e11 and 12, going to the finale.

To me it was the first half of S3 that had some terrible pacing. Nadeem's slog of an introduction, and the fact that nothing was really happening. Nobody is in trouble, there's no stakes and nobody has a goal pushing the narrative forward. Everyone is pretty much just moping. Karen mopes about Matt being dead, Foggy mopes about Karen moping about Matt. There's a seed of an idea about Karen learning that Matt is alive, but she doesn't do anything. Matt spends an entire episode walking around a hotel, and it does nothing but waste time because the end result of the scene was "I wanna kill Fisk." WE KNOW THAT. Absolutely terrible pacing.
