Daredevil Born Again season 2 review: Marvel’s most political show ever has one glaring flaw

In Daredevil: Born Again season 1, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) is elected as mayor of New York City on an anti-vigilante platform. The season ends with the new mayor declaring martial law. When season 2 begins, Fisk’s draconian policies are in full effect with his Anti-Vigilante Task Force (AVTF) roaming the streets and terrorizing all kinds of citizens, even if they aren’t vigilantes. Daredevil (Charlie Cox) is leading a resistance of citizens dedicated to taking Fisk and the AVTF down, while his alter ego, Matt Murdock, is a missing person. source https://www.polygon.com/daredevil-born-again-season-2-review/

But Resurrection ’s real genre is Surreal Art Movie with Amazing Visuals and Some Plot, Maybe. source https://www.polygon.com/resurrection-sci-fi-movie-streaming/
