* QuestionableCasting:
** Finn Jones's casting as Danny Rand. Race issues aside, he's a non-American actor who has zero martial arts background. Then again, Charlie Cox, a British actor, plays Daredevil, and most of his action scenes are performed by stuntman Chris Brewster.
** In a similar vein, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing. She, too, was in ''Game of Thrones''... and her sole fight scene in it is considered the epitome of FightSceneFailure of the show (the scene in question had been the victim of TroubledProduction). Casting someone associated with the nadir of fight scenes as a skilled martial artist in a work about skilled martial artists raised more than a few eyebrows before release. But unlike Finn Jones, Henwick's performance has been almost universally praised.

** [[spoiler: Madam Gao's reveal]] as the one behind the Hand's heroin operation at the end of Episode 5 had all the hallmark of a climactic reveal: FaceFramedInShadow, FaceRevealingTurn, dramatic, ominous music and lightning in the background. Except it's obvious to anyone who watched ''Series/Daredevil2015''. It's even better if you're watching with the descriptive audio, which never makes any bones about just calling her by name. That's assuming one didn't watch the trailer for season one in which she appears quite a few times.
