Season 2 Review:
It's clear that Born Again season 2 is still recovering from the breeched delivery of the first, meaning it has to juggle its underbaked original elements with reincorporating (or giving closure to) those of the Netflix era. By the end of its deflating finale, there is a sense that the most painful hours of labour might be over.

Season 1 Review:
The show is at its most potent when Murdock is very visibly struggling to solve a problem the right way when the easy one — being Daredevil — is right there. Its commitment to brutal action remains intact, with intricate fights that feel like genuine life-or-death struggles. But Born Again definitely loses something as it strays from the ethical dilemmas of its more episodic first half, and indulges in the catharsis of a more action-packed second half.

Season 1 Review:
Murdock and Fisk – or Cox and D’Onofrio if you prefer – are great in key scenes together, the former fleet and dancing, the latter giving off a dark, heavy energy that has you backing away from the screen as you watch. .... Whether the MCU team has done enough to take the comic adaptation crown from its current holder, DC’s dark, clever, critically acclaimed ratings smash The Penguin, however, remains to be seen.

Season 1 Review:
Though this series proves more eager to address social issues than typical MCU projects, such as the flaws of prison incarceration or rampant police brutality, very little of it adds up to more than a passing thought. As well-intentioned as these storylines are and as entertaining as they can be in the moment, the haphazard construction of these nine episodes (all of which were screened for critics ahead of time) constantly holds them back.

Season 2 Review:
In the end, as “Daredevil: Born Again” season 2 mirrors our current fascist moment while hinting at triumph, its restrictive character writing and dull, self-contained storytelling result in a middling, slow-building season—one that feels more promising for what’s on the horizon than what it delivers now.

Season 1 Review:
Daredevil: Born Again starts to hit its stride about eight episodes in. That’s a problem, because this is a nine episode season. .... Approach it with patience and maybe you’ll stick around long enough to see it work out its issues. That’s a lot to ask of an audience, though—maybe too much.

Season 1 Review:
Daredevil: Born Again is a hodgepodge of ideas. Whether it's too many cooks in the kitchen due to its production woes or a desperation to recapture lightning in a bottle, in trying to revive Daredevil, all Disney accomplishes is giving us a watered-down Matt Murdock who neatly fits into the mold of all MCU stories.

Season 1 Review:
It has some exciting moments, and strong performances from Cox and several other Netflix alums, including Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin of crime, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher. But as a whole, it’s a Frankenstein monster of a season, with various parts stitched together in ungainly fashion.
