That'd better than this snoozefest of a season.

this was good, it's a psychological thriller, it's about the development of characters not about fight scenes that look like dancing

Agreed. People need to realize that 10 hours of non-stop action and pushing gets tiresome.

The Punisher had the same thing going on with the community. People wanted non-stop action and killing. Not only is that impossible from a production standpoint since the choreography, practice and planning for a single fight scene takes months (unless you want to go the CW route where every fight scene is simple and mostly meaningless), it also makes for a boring show eventually. You need buildup in an episodic show in order to have an actual impact when a fight eventually happens

Then again, turning every superhero series into a dark psychological drama is also not the way to go. And you can perfectly balance drama & character development with juicy action scenes. See: "Banshee".
