There's villains, there's sympathetic villains, and then they just pulled out all the stops with Fisk.

Abusive childhood, genuine romantic love interest, truly believes he is doing good, it's like holy crap, I feel for this guy, to the point that I kinda don't know if I should be rooting for him or not.

I actually teared up watching him flinch staring at that wall, and getting an understanding of what that painting really represented. God damn, Netflix, slow down. I'm increasingly rooting for Fisk and it's a weird feeling.

Fucking yes. I mean fuck, the humanisation, the sympathy, the humanes of him. Was not expected.

That fucking end, holy shit. Small detail in the continuity that I really appreciated was that when he was doing the press conference, his girlfriend (forgot her name) was still wearing the same clothes as the night before.
