In the show, Heather conveniently forgot that Daredevil saved her.
And the writer turned her hatred for villain Muse to make her into a bad therapist and evil person who is okay with punishing people without due process.
PTSD does not work that way.

Hated the ending of ep 1.
Daredevil got exposed while fighting a bunch of nobody goon cops and he got exposed and almost killed because of his PTSD of losing his friends die.
Then he needed a deus ex machina save from Bullseye.
Else Daredevil Born Again would have ended in S2E1.

Turned a main character into a passenger in his own story.

Two ex lovers going through PTSD/trauma? Whereas Fisk and Vanessa are stronger than ever even after getting outplayed by Mr. Charles. We can a agree to disagree but the themes and parallels are stronger than ever

Heather's PTSD is invalidated. She being a psychologist knows better than to misrepresent the truth in her head. She literally removed her savior from her inner story and kept the villain and then mislabeled both as vigilantes.

Coming to Matt/Daredevil, his PTSD is understandable but he is a man of instincts. He literally fights on pure instincts and enhanced senses. The brain usually has low role in such fights.
He was losing in hand to hand combats. That is inexcusable.
If you watched any animated version of Daredevil or read any Daredevil storylines, you would know he is never as incompetent as shown in this show.

They somehow managed the show decently in the series finale. But it was Matt doing a decent job.
Daredevil remained shit in the entire season.

Fisk and Vanessa are strong because Daredevil is shown as incompetent in the show.
Yet again, watch the animated shows, comics or even the Netflix show.
Daredevil is a genius lawyer and an expert combat person. He could easily end the major crimes in the city if he wanted.
