Across the two seasons,Daredevilhas been at its best when the antagonists are at their best.
What is season 1 without Vincent DOnofrio?
Season 2 hit a high point just as Jon Bernthal was given some room to brood as Frank Castle.

And now we come to Elektra as played by Elodie Yung.
Shes intelligent, dangerous, more than a little psychotic, and brilliant across from Charlie Cox.
How does that affect Matt?
Theres no real philosophical danger there.
Elektra, on the other hand, has a point of entry into Matts psyche.
That edge is enough to slip an emotional sai through the cracks in his armor.
The flashback sequence was able to succeed where most fail because of these entanglement.
This is Matt before Daredevil, before guidelines were established.
He could have killed Roscoe for all we knew, and Elektra would have been responsible.
That is what an interesting and well written supporting character can do.
But its not just her relation to Matt that makes Elektra exciting.
