Our own Daredevil: Born Again season 2 review gave the season 3.5 stars, with our reviewer writing that it's "still struggling to reach the heights of the Netflix show, but great performances from the central cast – particularly standout supporting turns from Deborah Ann Woll and Wilson Bethel – and some timely political allegories mean the show's sophomore outing is a marked improvement on season 1."

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 plot *spoilers*
A lot went down this season... and we'll try our best to keep this brief.
The season begins with Wilson Fisk using New York City's harbor to smuggle illegal arms internationally... through the help of some weirdo named Mr. Charles. After the first ship carrying said arms blows up, Fisk creates a media narrative that it must have been Daredevil who did it. Which is convenient for him and his administration's crackdown on vigilantes, which involves rounding them up (and really any NYC citizen who dares to resist) and throwing them in a lawless cage with no due process and rampant abuse. BB Urich, following in her late uncle's footsteps, begins leaking information from the Mayor's office (thanks to an unwitting Daniel Blake) to alert NYC to what's really going on.
As Matt and Karen work to take down Fisk, Bullseye has plans of his own to kill the Mayor's wife, Vanessa. And, well, he does... but Matt, after going into a full flashback to his days of Murdock and Nelson, decides Foggy wouldn't want him to feed Bullseye to the wolves. In the midst of chaos, Jessica Jones (now a mother living off the grid) returns to help Matt take down Fisk, but Karen is arrested by Fisk's creepy task force (and beaten up by none other than Heather Glenn, who is plagued with trauma after her near-death experience with Muse in season 1).
It all wraps up in a rather explosive season finale: Matt Murdock going to prison after turning himself in by admitting to being Daredevil during Karen's trial. Fisk accepts a deal to leave New York City and disappears upstate. BB Urich gets promoted to staff reporter for The New York Bulletin. Mr. Charles and Bullseye board a plane to... somewhere. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage reunite. Heather Glenn has some trauma-induced hallucinations that see her donning the Muse mask.
Does Daredevil: Born Again cross over into Avengers: Doomsday or Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
No, it does not. As for whether Matt and co. will show up in other MCU movie projects in the future, though... the answers have been a bit mixed.
"The only thing I know is not positive. It's a very hard thing to do, for Marvel to use my character. It's a very hard thing to do, because of ownership and stuff," D'Onofrio said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast when the topic of Kingpin appearing in MCU movies or Spider-Man: Brand New Day was approached.
He continued, "Right now, I’m only usable for television series. Different kinds of series, whatever it is, but not even a one-off Fisk movie or anything like that, it’s all caught up in rights and stuff. I don’t know when that would work out, or if it ever would work out at all, actually."
Charlie Cox also confirmed that Marvel has been very "clear" about keeping Daredevil out of forthcoming Avengers movies... though he didn't specify Spider-Man (and you might recall that he played Peter Parker's lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home). Though Jon Bernthal's Punisher did not appear in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, he's all set to appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day (and can be seen front and center in the trailer).
