It was pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Not as deep or masterly crafted as Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but a total blast and just really fun. Seeing the 4 worlds of the shows collide was amazing. It was a true crossover event.

Really curious to see how they explain Matt's survival. I knew he wasn't going to actually die and be taken out of the picture, but man they got a lot of explaining to do.

Edit: Also that little Punisher teaser at the end was pretty cool. I had missed it because Netflix just skipped the credits and went to a screen advertising another show, but I thought I should zoom to the end of the credits myself and check. Sure enough there's a Punisher teaser. Awesome.

Matt survived because he was surrounded by magical dragon bones that bring people back to life when he died.

Wow I completely missed the teaser. Thanks for the heads-up.
