    This TV show is the best among Netflix's Marvel series. Excellent casting for the main character and secondary characters.

    When given an open-ended continuity, Marvel properties excel at picking and choosing the best moments offered by their source material. Daredevil Season 1 does exactly that through an impressive and refreshing journey of a blind man searching for justice inside and outside of the courtroom.

    I don’t want to spoil anything but this show is for a more adult audience. There’s more adult themes and there’s some gruesome scenes in here that can be hard to watch. It’s a realistic world they built here but add on the superhero stuff on top of it. It’s the right way to do this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Daredevil season 1 for me is the best season of the best Marvel Netflix show to date. Everything about this season works perfectly: the story, the dialogue, the action, the acting, the villain, etc. The backstory and origin for Daredevil are mixed in really well with Matt Murdock’s story as an adult and don’t disrupt the flow of the episodes or season at all. Murdock’s struggle to balance his work life with his vigilante life and how that struggle impacts his relationships with his friends is interesting and engaging to watch. The action and fight choreography are top notch; the hallway fight is probably the best action sequences in any of the Marvel Netflix shows, and other sequences raise the bar as well. Overall they show how much ass Matt Murdock can kick despite how vulnerable he really is and the fact that he doesn’t have any overly fancy superpowers. This show uses its supporting characters well and not only gives them moments to impact Murdock but also to effect the show itself and almost be more than supporting characters. The acting overall is fantastic; every substantial cast member makes the best out of the screen time they’re given and we see some actors who we haven’t seen much of before really shine in this show and show us what they’re capable of as actors. But, with all that said, the villain is where this season succeeds the most. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk/Kingpin is an intimidating, effective and scary villain and is all of that without any special abilities other than his influence and power. There are people like Kingpin who exist in the world today, which makes him even scarier. D’Onofrio doesn’t just play this character, he defines this character and is likely the only actor who could ever truly play him on the big or small screen. This season does something that we haven’t really seen before, which is to give the villain a backstory. We learn about Fisk’s past in one of the episodes, and it adds a lot of depth to the season and Fisk’s character. His fate at the end of the season leaves room for future storytelling, something a lot of villains don’t get. At the end of the day, other than Murdock’s abilities and him being a one-man army, everything about this show is completely realistic of situations we can and do see in the real world, a luxury we don’t get with so many other superhero movies and TV shows. With a few law concepts thrown into the mix as well, Daredevil season 1 is a must-watch for fans of the character and Marvel fans in general.… Expand

    Daredevil Season 1 is a great series that will charm those looking for violent Marvel.
    Now, it has a big problem: dynamism.
    You're practically going to feel that the episodes are very similar to each other and no apparent change.
    Also, in the middle of the season there is a change in the dynamic of the series that is remarkable: much less action.

    Vincent D'Onofrio's return as the Kingpin really makes this season but I will say this. I am getting a bit sick of each season of a Marvel show building up a villain's origin to then have them return in full form for the following season. They did this with Kingpin, then Elektra, and now Bullseye. Overall very well done, but the last episode could have had more action, drama and twists.

In one of the episodes, Agent Nadeem tells Daredevil " you have lost so much" BIG FLAW as Agent Nadeem does not know what Daredevil has lost !

The age old device of breaking up of the band, only to have it come back together to win the day, is quite possibly one of the worst oldest and most over-used story devices in comics. To see it transverse onto the screen in this was was just lazy. Finally, for the "man without fear", Daredevil/Matt certainly shows a lot of it this season. One positive is that the last episode is everything we wanted from the entire season, unfortunately it was only one of thirteen. Far too little for more than a 6.5.

    For those claiming constant concussions, two story falls onto hard ground, major lacerations healing in a few days, or Fisk knowing exactly when to make a phone call (to the second) is realistic, should really seek the care of a physician.    … Expand

My only complaint is that the start is a bit slow, but that makes the rest of the season all the more intense and exciting.

    The main guy Daredevil himself is fantastic and portrayed really well in this very dark and sometimes almost ridiculous show. The antagonist Wilson Fisk is also really great and almost all the characters are given backstories at some point and you can really get digested into this universe. There're a lot of flashbacks with a derpy kid Daredevil that sucked but aside from those the show was fun.

    Fortunately, Daredevil is different, and easily betters any other effort in the genre thus far. A large part of it success is down by the creators obvious affection for the source material and, not bound by the constraints of network TV, it is able to be tell a suitably dark and gritty tale. Daredevil also importantly takes the time to develop all the main and supporting characters, something which is particularly important in the case of Fisk (The Kingpin). Part of the credit for the effectiveness of this character has to be given to the superb performance of Vincent D’Onofrio but, by giving him his own motivations, he becomes more than just another ‘bad guy’ and this really adds to the impact of the events that take place.

    The only slight negative in this first season was the usual problem of the bad guys not just killing the good guys when they get the chance (Austin Powers mocked this nearly 20 years ago and yet we still see it all the time on TV and in movies!) but I’m certainly very much looking forward to season two.    … Expand

    Ce Daredevil en est un retentissant exemple et outre sa naïveté et sa bêtise inhérentes au genre (celles des "comics" et des films surexploités) ainsi que sa pauvreté d'écriture (on ne doit vraisemblablement leur donner que quelques feuilles de pet-cul pour torcher chaque épisode voire même chaque saison) la réalisation est un mélange de Julie Lescaut et Plus belle la vie.

    C'est dire la "tension" qu'une telle série dégage tandis qu'on s'efforce de maintenir un niveau d'attention ou un niveau de veille suffisant pour ne pas piquer du nez toutes les deux minutes. D'ailleurs, une autre comparaison me vient à l'esprit (ou bien une autre idée poétique et chiatique) : j'ai l'impression de me retrouver devant des épisodes de Derrick ou Private practice sauf que Derrick irradie d'un charisme tchernobylien en comparaison (!) de cette andouille vide de Daredevil.

    With time comes experience, and with that experience, Marvel has taken a bunch of barely watchable movies about superheroes, and turned themselves into a global empire. When Marvel first started making movies, they never dreamed they'd be getting the stars, exposure, or the nearly half a billion dollar box office receipts for every film they release. Perhaps the most overlooked element inWith time comes experience, and with that experience, Marvel has taken a bunch of barely watchable movies about superheroes, and turned themselves into a global empire. When Marvel first started making movies, they never dreamed they'd be getting the stars, exposure, or the nearly half a billion dollar box office receipts for every film they release. Perhaps the most overlooked element in Marvel's wave of success is the writers and directors, which is really what has led to the big stars, better films, and ultimately the TV series.

    Marvel attempted to introduce Daredevil in 2003, in what amounted to one of the worst superhero movies I've ever seen. The plot was nonexistent, they rushed the characters backstory, and the acting was a joke. They learned from theses mistakes however, and reinvented the character in the Netflix series by the same name.

    Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) was blinded in an accident when he was a child, but despite losing his sight, he gained other abilities. His other senses became super strong and he was trained to use them to help defend himself. As a youth, despite his training, Murdock decided to fight injustice in the courts and became a lawyer, eventually starting a firm with him best friend, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson). Being a lawyer didn't always get Murdock the justice he sought, so he started using his training, and going out at night to fight crime as the devil of Hell's Kitchen, eventually dubbed by the press as Daredevil.

    On the surface, people will look at this series and see another superhero show, but when you sit down to watch it, you will realize that the writing makes all the difference. This is one of those shows where the superhero element is an after thought, because everything else is so realistic and believable, that aside from the fight scenes, you forget that you're watching a Marvel superhero show. The criminals developed for this show, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) and The Punisher (Jon Benthal) are as good, if not better, than any villain ever seen in any of the Marvel franchises. Beyond that the show has a lot of legal and courtroom elements to it, a medical angel, family and romance issues, I don't say this often, but this show actually does have a little bit of something thrown in there for absolutely everyone!

    Even if you're not into superheroes, even if you can't stand them, there will be at least one element to the Daredevil series that you will enjoy, I guarantee it. As for the fans, I know it's been a while, but no need to fret, Daredevil have been renewed for a third season, and lead actor Charlie Cox has signed on for the eventual collaboration series, that will include all four Netflix-Marvel characters.    … Expand

    I finished season 2 and I really enjoyed it except for 1 thing... Daredevil was the side show. This season was stolen by Frank Castle (the Punisher). Honestly, by the end of the season I hated Matt Murdock a lot as he has become more mopey and dopey just like his friend dopey or fogy or whatever his name is. I hate both him and Matt and the only reason I would watch a season 3 is if they are again, not the main part of the show. Punisher needs his own series away from these 2 and Jessica Jones. Between Matt, Jessica, Luke and Fogy we have more estrogen than all the women populating the western hemisphere. What a bunch of sissies. Luckily, the Punisher carried this season with exception to the one scene towards the end where he and the Daredevil sort of reconcile which was just poorly acted and not believable.

    A good start with some room for improvement. I like the portrayal of Daredevil in this show but I really think that Matts friend and the Kingpen are a weaknesses.

    The Kingpen is simply not intimidating nor believable as a character. In fact, his lackey was twice as menacing as he (Fisk) was. The other gang leaders would have eaten Fisk alive and his psychological duality issues were also forced and emotionless. But thankfully, this is a TV series and there are more bad guys than Fisk and his lackey saved the day a few times.

    My other issue is with Matts emo friend... he is just unbearably bad to watch. He is not funny in any way and his emotional constipation (yes I am making a Tarzan quote) is beyond immature for anyone over 14 years old. I would prefer he is just cut from the show entirely and certainly, his presence is hurting Matt's character because they are supposed to be intellectually compatible which means that Matt is actually borderline retarded... who else can befriend a child in an adult body? Aside from Fisk and Matts friend (I dont even remember his name), the rest of the crew did an admirable job.

    In the 1st season we watch as Daredevil develops his personality (Marvels copy of Batman in many ways), and it is a fun journey. The support cast (outside the two aforementioned duds) do a good job in maintaining the feel of the show (unlike other shows like Flopsh or the Green Eggroll), and except for the few emo episodes were I wanted to kill Matt's friend, it was a fun journey to watch. I will watch season 2.    … Expand

    Absolutely amazing TV shows, great characters, particularly the villain Wilson Fisk and his assistant, Wesley. In my opinion this is one of the best things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, containing a dark, gritty and realistic story, similar to the Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series, and yet still contains some of the wit and humour that is becoming Marvel's trademark.

    Charlie is a blind lawyer by day. He has a few sidekicks, also lawyer types but not blind, so they have no powers.

    The downsides to the show are Charlie's lawyer-sidekicks. They don't really have anything to offer Charlie as superheroes (they both, sadly, were cursed with 20/20 vision) and mainly seem to be used a light and cheesy counterbalance to Charlie's dark and bloody burden of being Daredevil. The problem is that Charlie isn't that dark. He's always sulking about what he has to do and moaning to acquaintances or priests in confession. Charlie is conflicted, and it's clear that violence is a tool for him and not a guilty pleasure. We get it. WE DON'T NEED CHEESEY SIDEKICK SCENES TOO! SACK THEM!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like the majority of Marvel's work on the big screen, Daredevil is an enjoyable if very overrated piece of work. There is a lot to like about the show, but it suffers from some big gaping problems that fanboys and others have largely overlooked.

    Getting right to the point, the show itself, though a creative leap for Marvel, is plagued with vigilante and crime drama cliches. Hell's Kitchen is carved up by factions distinguished by ethnic grouping. The Russians, Chinese, Japanese are present here as they've been in countless other crime stories. The leader of the Russian mob is named Vladimir of all things. Daredevil decked out in his eerie black costume can't help but mimic, perhaps unintentionally, Nolan's popularized Batman demanding perps to reveal "Who are you working for?" "I want a name" "I'll throw you off the roof" etc.

    For a show that is nearly thirteen hours long, the first handful of episodes failed to hook me, displaying a very dull and predictable sequence of events. I mainly stayed on to experience the greatness of the show internet pseudo-critics have been screeching about, but alas there was indeed a tiny jewel hidden beneath the stretched out, uninspired dialogue and unimaginative crime fighting.

    Wilson Fisk steals the show. His journey throughout the series eclipses much of the obligatory and mundane busy work of the many other characters. His not a one dimensional villain, and his downfall sparked by an interest in a peculiar woman feels like a tragedy in and of itself.

    The most contemplative, if rather unacknowledged, aspect of the series was the emphasis on the parallels in the goals and motivations between the titular hero, Mat Murdock, and his kingpin antagonist. Both want to make their city a 'better place', but both employ questionable methodology in the pursuit of that aim.

    They are reflections of each other in many ways, though by the end both their identities seem to diverge into definiteness. The moral and philosophical dilemmas both struggle through before arriving to that point was genuinely interesting, though I do not think its responsible for Daredevil's seemingly explosive popularity among the masses.

    Aside from this, the exchanges between Fisk and his entourage and Murdock's reunion with past mentor 'Stick' were the most provocative aspects of the show. Madame Gao's poetic words to a troubled Kingpin regarding his uncontrolled ambition are some of the most memorable in a very, very superfluous script.

    Nonetheless, I only gave Daredevil a three because it is still a very hollow and boring show that isn't compensated for with its redeeming qualities. The series as creative and ambitious superhero narrative peaked around episode seven. Everything else could be compared to watching dominoes uneventfully and predictably collapsing unto each other to reveal a simple pattern. All the claims that marvel has somehow 'mastered' gritty and mature storytelling are utterly unfounded.

    The climactic battle between Fisk and the Devil of hell's kitchen is childishly predictable, no different from the shaky and undecipherable fight sequences that plump up this bloated web-series. Daredevil may be a bloody and visually dark series, but that doesn't mean it is a well executed gritty and mature storytelling.

    And perhaps worst of all, is the inconsistency in Marvel's world building. How can Daredevil, who lives in a world were collateral damage is real and heavy and the bad guys are palpably cruel and malicious, exist in the same universe as the campy Avenger's? What is Spider-Man going to do if he crosses paths with Wilson Fisk, crack a joke and hope his popularity keeps him alive?    … Expand

Bringing it to the smaller screen allows these things to be done on an even greater scale. The grounded nature of the street-level super hero that is Daredevil allows Marvel to explore the effects the superheroes have on the lives and opinions of individual people, which is an interesting concept. This alone would be enough to recommend Daredevil, but this merely scratches the surface.

    Being a solid mix of superhero action, court-room drama, and film-noir there are many facets to Daredevil that make it an enjoyable show in it's own right; regardless of the MCU. I many ways this show takes what has been done in many films before it; Christopher Nolan's, "The Dark Knight" immediately springing to mind, and surpasses it just by virtue of having far more time to go into the various themes of the show in detail. This makes the show delightfully multi-faceted while also giving it the depth of a film with a strict focus. The effects of becoming a vigilante weighing on your psyche are merely alluded to in 'The Dark Knight' while here they're thoroughly explored. At the same time in other scenes, the focus will shift and single shot, visceral fight scenes on par with the very best of cinema; constantly reminding me of classic fight scenes from the likes of 'Oldboy' with the very realistic crunch of bones and weight of impacts being felt. Watching combat in Daredevil feels like you're watching the gritty realism of grown men trying to kill each other with their bare hands. While all this is going on, the cinematography is unparalleled. With most shots sticking to the noir aesthetic and almost every shot being done with practical camera effects, the immersion is high and the lack of CGI leaves me speechless just by virtue of the restraint shown.

    All of this gives Daredevil a pedigree that is amongst some of the best in all of film, let alone just TV. My lone critique is that the show spends almost it's entire 13 episode first season building up Matt Murdock with him only really becoming the titular Daredevil at the end of the series, which would have felt like the worst case of blue-balls where it not for the fact that this show has a second season to explore the now established Daredevil, rendering this whole point moot.

    A whole hearted recommendation to everyone. Even if you're not normally a fan of the superhero genre, this is more the rebirth of film-noir as a mainstream genre anyway, and it pulls it off with aplomb. Watch it, you will love it.    … Expand

I figured a film adaptation was more appropriate, but I was dead wrong. Daredevil is one of Marvel's best projects to date and it really gives you something completely different then we are seeing in Marvel films. It really doesn't feel like a super hero show. It is primarily a crime drama with moments of great action scattered throughout the series. This story feels real and the characters feel real. Hell's Kitchen is such a great setting for the show that it is almost a character and the dark and grittiness really suits this series. There are so many great characters and it never feels like there are too many. The development is far more significant in a 13 episode season than it would have been during a 2 hour film.

    Charlie Cox is a guy who came out of no where to become one of biggest comic book heroes to near perfection. Cox showed lots of dedication to the role and really brought us the best version of Daredevil we have ever seen. Cox also handles Daredevil's alter ego Matt Murdock beautifully. Cox is surrounded by other key pieces of the cast like Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Eldon Henson as Foggy Nelson. Both these characters have great interactions with Murdock and their relationship is tested at several points during the season. One episode is dedicated to Nelson and Murdock's relationship which allows the viewer to see their friendship as a deep and strong union.

    Wilson Fisk, known in the comic books as Kingpin is likely the most well known Daredevil villain. Vincent D'Onofrio would not exactly be my first choice to play the character. It takes the full season for you to fully see how exceptional D'Onofrio is in this role. Like the other characters Fisk is developed throughout the show and also gets a episode dedicated to his upbringing and gives us a broader perspective of why he does what he does.

    I found that Daredevil really only got better as it went on, but that should really be what a series like this should do but there are certainly points that are going to hold you over until the huge climax at the end. I found the ending to this season (no spoilers) so outstanding and it was one of the best finale episodes I have seen on any show.

Those who have been following the MCU can relish in some good nods to the rest of the universe, even as the show is more of it's own contained thing.

    Most shows like this would have each week dedicated to Daredevil tackling a different villain, but in the case of this show the entire season is dedicated to one, large conflict. Everything from the shows beginning episodes come together over the course of the season into one central plot. Aside form some pacing issues, the show is very entertaining thanks to strong characters backed by excellent performances.

    Every now and then just when things start to really ramp up in intensity, the show will take what seemingly feels like breathers right afterwards. When the action starts to get going you don't really want it to stop. I get that it makes more sense from a build up standpoint, but often these moments where it puts the breaks on is jarring. It's a little something that needs to be worked on in the next season.

    With great writing, fantastic characters, and violent action this is a very successful and different side of the MCU. One that manages to do it's own things while being connected to the lighter side we see in theatres. It's a darker hero involved in darker conflicts in a darker part of the universe, but it still manages to capture what we love about the heroes on the big screen. It's just that things are less cheery.    … Expand

    The man without fear and with a great resistance...
    The plot is sliding like the blood between the streets of hell's kitchen.
    I've finished it just now and I was really satisfied.
    Good director, interpretation, plot... everything!
    We just have to wait for the second season!!!

    No this is nothing like the crappy Ben Affleck movie (which was not even his fault, the director sucked at his job), but a gritty origin story that gives Marvel the long over due Christopher Nolan treatment. Marvel's Daredevil is the superhero show we have always wanted but Network never had the guts to make. A must watch for Marvel fans.

    This series is a fine adaptation of Daredevil, unlike the 2003 movie. There are good action scenes and cool characters played by a bunch of skilful actors.

    Yes they did! Marvel teamed up with Netflix to create an original series based on the venerable Daredevil. 13 episodes of season one were released simultaneously this past Friday. I have watched the first three episodes and so far I like it. It is a bit more drama and little less “flash” than say… CW’s “The Flash”. Yes I punned the hell of that, so shoot me ;)

    True to comic book lore    Yes they did! Marvel teamed up with Netflix to create an original series based on the venerable Daredevil. 13 episodes of season one were released simultaneously this past Friday. I have watched the first three episodes and so far I like it. It is a bit more drama and little less “flash” than say… CW’s “The Flash”. Yes I punned the hell of that, so shoot me ;)

    True to comic book lore our hero is Matt Murdock, a blind attorney and son of a boxer, Jack Murdock. For people interested in the show and not familiar with the character, I will spare you any spoilers. So far they seem to be running true to the comics on this. Adapting a comic book hero to television or movies can be difficult and typically some artistic license may need to occur to make good programming. I am OK with that.

    Charlie Cox is doing a fine job thus far as Matt Murdock, AKA the Daredevil. Our leading lady through the first 3 episodes is the lovely Deborah Ann Woll a native New Yorker from Brooklyn. Miss Woll is a graduate of the University of Southern California BFA acting program. So far she seems to have the chops for the role. The surprise has been Eldon Henson as Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock’s BFF and law partner. This guy is single-handedly bringing the comic relief that this dark and dramatic show needs. Let there be no mistake about it, through the first three episodes this is no Disney trip gang, the show is tackling some heavy human interest and nasty criminal activity. It is dark, it is gritty, and it is good.

    Without giving away spoilers, I will say I enjoy the flashbacks to Matt Murdock’s childhood with his boxer father. I like the build up to the big conspiracy that will likely result in a showdown at some point between Daredevil and Kingpin. They are masking the villains in a juicy veil of mystery and I like that a lot. Toby Leonard Moore is portraying the man named Wesley that always makes nebulous reference to “his employer”. This guy is selling the goods as the semi-creepy contact between the thugs and the boss. He has charisma, class and just enough sneaky villainesque to pull off the whole, “liaison man” in front of the big picture conspiracy.

    Marvel appears to have a lot of control with this Netflix Original series and they have quietly tied the whole revitalization of Hell’s Kitchen to the big destructive event at NYC from the end of the Avengers Movie with a few Easter Eggs.

    Load up Netflix and start watching this right now!

    PS I finished the season one, and it delivers the goods all they through :)    … Expand

    This show deserve a FULL 8 but the camera shake make me sick (when doing close profile shots or while people are walking). This technique should add realism to the movie/show, instead gives you seasick.

    Marvel’s New ‘Daredevil’ of a Show

As the very first in Marvel’s new lineup of Netflix-exclusive superhero shows, it’s time for fans of Arrow and The Flash to change the channel and say hello to the blind lawyer from the city of Hell’s Kitchen.

    Sure, Marvel’s killing it in theaters right now, but DC’s got them beat on the small screen, right? Not anymore. As the very first in Marvel’s new lineup of Netflix-exclusive superhero shows, it’s time for fans of Arrow and The Flash to change the channel and say hello to the blind lawyer from the city of Hell’s Kitchen.

    Taking place within the same cinematic universe as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and the Hulk, Daredevil follows its own unique storyline with nothing but a subtle reference here and there to remind you that you’re still in the world of the Avengers. Whether this connection intrigues you or just turns you off, be wary not to associate the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen with the humour and light-heartedness of his avenging counterparts.

    For those who complain Marvel is too kid-friendly for their liking, Daredevil is either a breath of fresh air or a slap in the face to let them know they’re wrong. Revealing the darker side of Marvel’s expansive roster, the show follows Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind man with all his other senses heightened to the point that he can “see” what he describes as a world on fire. In many ways, Murdock sees much more than any of us do. He can hear the footsteps of a man walking multiple floors beneath him, smell a woman’s perfume from a block away, and even feel the tiny textural differences between colours so that he doesn’t need a friend to pick his outfits for him.

    Of all his keen senses, it is his reflexes that serve him best in his questionable line of work as the so-called Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Lawyer by day, vigilante by night, Murdock works both inside and outside the law with the end goal of seeing his city restored to its former, not-crime-ridden glory. Regularly resorting to violent methods in efforts to reach this goal, Murdock has no problem with hospitalizing his victims for periods ranging from weeks to months on end.
    Murdock is not the only one with a desire to make his city a better place. The Kitchen’s kingpin of crime, a brutal and brilliant yet sensitive man, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) serves as both the series’ antagonist and a mirror image to the notorious vigilante himself. In a genre where the villain is often designed to be the polar opposite of the hero, the contrast between Fisk and Murdock stands out as being almost non-existent. From their similarly difficult childhoods to the indescribable connection each has with their dying city, one easily forgets which is the hero and which is the villain. That line is only faintly drawn at the extent to which each character will go to mold their vision into reality; as Fisk says, “Something first has to die before it can be reborn, and this city is no different.” The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen would be inclined to disagree.

    After only a single season, Daredevil has already cemented itself in TV history as the highest rated show on Netflix. Between the engaging character depth, convincing acting, and stunningly choreographed action sequences, many have already begun to consider this one of the best comic book adaptations ever to grace the big or small screens. With a second season already underway, as well as the rest of Marvel’s Netflix lineup still to come, you would be blind not to anticipate what the comic book giant has in store for us next.    … Expand

    This show gets a 10 just for bringing darkness and maturity in comic transfers to screen. I mean up to this moment, every approach on this matter was directed to audiences 10-15, and with Arrow, up to 18, but Daredevil has the atmosphere and the moves for adults. Casting, acting, music and all other aspects (directing and photo included) are pretty great too.

    So much better than the movie. I haven't watched all episodes (currently watching 11th episode) but man, wow, what a great show! Episode 9 was the best of all them.

    OK...so here is the thing about this show. I actually like the actor who plays Daredevil (Murdoch).

Their acting is sub-par plus they get the stupidest dialogue (which is part of why I hate their acting). I want to fast forward every-time they come on the screen. they really bring the show down. Overall, I DO like the show and plan to keep watching but simply can't get enthusiastic about it and can't give it a complete thumbs up. I'm about halfway through the first season and keep hoping the contributions these three bring will improve or at LEAST one of them will get killed off.… Expand

    It's rich with character development, don't get me wrong--honestly, there's a point where you almost feel that you understand the supervillain better than the superhero--and offers up a lot of entertainment along the way. It's just not "The Wire."

    Some of the show’s episode-by-episode plot threads do come across as perfunctory filler. And Daredevil has a tendency to stretch out its conversational scenes to the point of enervation, especially with regard to Fisk’s attempts to romance an art gallery owner (played by Man of Steel’s Ayelet Zurer). However, the show makes up for those missteps with its clear and compelling voice.
