    Took until the first season finale to see Matt Murdock in the famous red suit. Daredevil on Netflix does not **** around. It takes itself very seriously and it's the darkest the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever been. It's damn good though, I recommend it.

    Generally I can not understand such a frenzy for the film adaptation of almost every Marvel Comics heroes.
    I've watched four episodes, and I could not keep watching remaining of this series.
    Good acting, not the action itself is a bad in this tv series, but the overall impression is that too many comic book heroes on TV screens.

This isn't just a superhero show; it's much more than that, it's a unique crime/thriller show that got much focus on the characters. We don't just see the background of our heroes, we also get to see what drives the "baddies" in Mathews' town. As I said; the plot is very solid and I really love it. The show is very deep and very well made. Just the directing and the action-sequences are incredible. But I miss a more intense version of show. The overall episode isn't that action-packed as I want it to be like, I want more.

    The show started pretty well and the first half is really good. But there's too much talking rather than action. Yes drama is a genre of this show and I love the characters, the plot and so on but it's a bit too boring for my taste. The tempo is slow and I didn't enjoy it that much. But it all changed after the fifth episode. The plot became more entertaining and it really escalated. The characters developed and the show totally began to grasp my interest. The ending was really good; full of action and an awesome plot!

    This is a really great TV-show, even though there's not that much action as I wanted to see. My overall rating for each episode is ~ 7.3/10, but since I really find this show amazing because of the solid plot and its characters am I giving Daredevil Season 1 a score of 8/10.    … Expand

    As an origin story it works well, using flashbacks effectively without a jarring tonal shift. Very dark for a Marvel property, and it's definitely a side we haven't seen before but it works well! The show would just feel toothless on a primetime network like ABC. Daredevil is the new superhero TV show to beat!

    ADD ON: In the latter part of season 1 I found myself thinking, "man, there is a lot of crying in this show." Seriously, it's like every 15 minutes near the end of the season. Just sayin.    … Expand

    Daredevil easily is the best Marvel adaptation ever. Unlike other marvel movies, Daredevil is a very well written dark show with a lot of thrilling aspects.

The other aspect about this show that i really like is that they don't go with a procedural show which can become predictable and boring really soon. Instead, throughout the season we'll get to know more about the characters in this show. Acting-wise, this show is very well acted. Charlie Cox gives a remarkable performance as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. His chemistry with Rosario Dawson and Elden Henson is so on point. Not to mention all the well choreographed action scene that he claimed he did it mostly by himself. Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk portrayed a human side of a villain like we've never seen before.… Expand

    Not perfect but very good. Great story telling with a cast of characters that you can relate to because they're not perfect. There are just as many defeats for the heroes as wins which makes the show more plausible. I say heroes because all of the main characters are working together to fight against the overwhelming crime problem. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this amazing show.

    Well acted, with every character being a gift. The tone is gritty, without being too dark, and has just the right amount of realism. The fight choreography is great to a television series and makes the violence feel more realistic than you normally see in the genre.

    This season so far has proved to be so much better than some of the other super hero shows on air and maybe it's because of the darker and grittier take on the show's concept. Its action scenes are wonderfully choreographed and I think they've done a great job developing the main characters.

    When I hear that Daredevil is going to be the darkest entry for the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise so far, I am excited.

    There are a lot of strong points about this show so I will start with    When I hear that Daredevil is going to be the darkest entry for the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise so far, I am excited. I am not a fan of strong violence but I am a fan of dark and gritty storytelling. This show does not disappoint at all. In fact, this is the best entry from MCU, movies and TV shows combined.

    There are a lot of strong points about this show so I will start with the strongest one. The strongest point about this show is the consistent writing and storytelling. Every episode has almost a different writer and director, not to mention the changing of showrunners during the production and yet, there is no noticeable change at all in its storytelling at all. It’s consistent.

    The next one is the strong cast performances. I am very impressed that all of the main cast played their roles so excellently but the best ones are from Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio. Charlie Cox did a perfect job as The Man Without Fear. He is like the Robert Downey Jr. of the TV department of MCU, he is irreplaceable to me. I can’t see anyone else play Matt Murdock other than Charlie Cox. As for Vincent D’Onofrio, he played the main villain of this season Wilson Fisk perfectly as well. His performance made his character a much more sympathetic villain that I sometimes question myself if I should be on his team instead.

    The character development is another strong highlight and there are a lot that I wish I can tell in this review without spoiling. So here are the ones that I can tell without spoiling instead. I really felt satisfied about Matt Murdock’s past from his past as a kid to how he was able to fight to why he became a vigilante at night without getting too much as we need to save more for next season. I also loved how we see that Matt Murdock is still learning as a vigilante in a form of trial and error and not how he excelled his skills quite fast. One problem with MCU’s villains is that most of them are very one-dimensional and the only ones who are not are Loki and Ultron. I am glad we get to see a third-dimensional villain in this show and I really loved how Wilson Fisk was written and like I said before, D’Onofrio’s performance made Wilson Fisk a sympathetic villain.

    I am not usually a big fan of action scenes as I don’t usually care at all but the action scenes here in this show made me hug my pillow out of anticipation. The best part of those action scenes is that they’re very realistic as we see Daredevil being tired at certain times during a fight. The end of the second episode is one example in which we get to see TV’s best action scene ever, blockbuster style.

    The direction and the cinematography is excellent for this kind of show and it’s quite appealing to the eye. Also, despite being dark, this show still has the MCU humor that we know and love.

    Daredevil is the best TV show this year so far for me. We’ll have to see if the fifth season of Game of Thrones or the second season of True Detective can beat Daredevil but for now, this show takes the crown for me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1) Too much focus was given to Karen and Foggy. They were kinda boring and didn't deserve that much attention, except only for the link between Karen and Ben Urich, which was done quite well. But for the rest, these characters didn't had much to offer to the overall plot. Also, aside from chapter 1 and 3, the Nelson and Murdock law firm didn't do anything really relevant to the plot. They were most of the time just "thinking" and in the dilemma of "how can law bring down such a poweful man?" (something that didn't even matter in the end, because they only brought Fisk down because an opponent lawyer agreeded to give Foggy lots of Fisk confidential documents). Matt only appeared in court once. His skills as a lawyer could have been better explored.
    2) The Matt's Ras al Ghul-like professor and the red ninja clan were mostly there just to tease people to watch the next season, they were pretty amazing addictions yet their participation in the plot was very small. Also, I found them to be way more interesting than Fisk.
    3) The last episodes had a very poor writing. And by that I generally mean episodes 11, 12 and 13. They had silly deaths, such as Wesley's and Ben Urich's, which didn't made any sense. Also, I thought that a Foggy's death would have been pretty reasonable and useful, yet it didn't happen. These last episodes also felt too unatural and over-tenseful, and that may be due to the fact that the writer wanted to call more attention and make an epic finale where Matt really becomes Daredevil. However, that ending was quite fallacious. It felt like the writer just ignored lots of issues raised by the previous chapters and went to the most predictable ending.
    Still, the action wasn't bad and I expected this series to be worse.    … Expand

    Marvel's Daredevil took away any memory i had from Ben Affleck's one. It got what i found being the best action scenes for a tv show, it got great actors on screen and a strong script. My only complaint it's the series could be more connected to the MCU. Surely worth to watch, specially if you're a Marvel fan

The acting, the stories, the pacing, and especially the ABSENCE of all campiness, makes this the best superhero TV show in the history of superhero TV shows. Gotham could have been, but is camps it up too much. The guy from Law & Order Criminal Intent is fantastic as Kingpin. I know there was a reason he gained all that weight! He just better lose it after the series if he wants to live to be an old man. Rosaria Dawson is amazing. That woman has never been given the roles she deserves. She is a very unappreciated actress and I am glad to see she snagged a significant supporting role in this series.

    There are only 3 small problems with Daredevil. (1) It is a little TOO grim. I'm all for dark noirish stories, but sometimes this goes a little too far even for me; (2) the explanation of exactly how Matt Murdock's blindness and heightened other senses works, isn't quite clear. I hope they round out that information and apply it consistently. One thing they are on the verge of doing is making him not blind, but only faking. He is blind. He does lack certain abilities most of us have thanks to our eyes, but as the pc people say these days, he is truly "differently abled." It would be great to see Matt get into trouble due to his blindness, and then kick ass his way out of it by using his heightened other senses, just to make clear that he truly is blind. If they get all fuzzy and vague about his disability versus his heightened abilities, then they are messing up something that is at the very essence of this super hero. It's important to articulate it and be very clear and consistent about it.

    Finally, the suit. It appears in the last episode of the first season and, unlike everything else about this show, it's terrible. In the comics Daredevil's costume is little more than body paint. It is thin and flexible, which makes sense because Daredevil is like an acrobat. But in the show the suit is like body armor. It's thick and black and red rather than just red. It's just no good at all. It MUST be changed in season 2. The actor needs to be sure that he's toned up and he needs to wear a skin tight thin suit that is all deep burgundy red. He should NOT look like Robocop!

    All in all, great show.    … Expand

But i honestly don't see the reason why people are saying THIS is the best comic book TV show. It really lost it's steam towards the end of the season, Daredevil tries to be too much like Bale's batman, just listen to his voice while he interrogates people. It left a lot of unanswered questions like, what happened to Matt's trainer (that other blind guy)? What happened to Vanessa? What happened to that Chinese lady?(can't remember her name) What happened to Claire? It was just ridiculous how they killed off Fisk's assistant. Also the finale just felt like lazy writing, they won because some dodgy cop who was getting paid by fisk just happened to know the names of all the other people who worked for fisk??

    Good surprise coming from the Marvel side of things, a modern take on the Man without Fear. The actors are excellent, the origins story well told, but the overall plot is somewhat disappointing, at least on this first season. But a good show anyway, way better than Arrow or the Flash for example.

It goes on for way too long and most of it could have, and should have, been cut. Characters have way too much time for poetic monologues and personal anecdotes that do nothing for the storyline except bore the viewer. Ironically, it's possible that this bothers me more than it should due to the "binge" nature of the way I viewed the show, but isn't that the point of netflix? If the second season does not improve on the pacing and texture of the show, then the score will go down considerably, for me.… Expand

    I liked it a lot, but there are a lot of things to upgrade to season 2, like Kingpin, he should be more brute, more violent not a fat douche bag in love for Kal-El's mother. The red suit, took a long time to show up, and when it did it wasn't what I was expecting, it's more like an armor than a stealth suit.

    Daredevil fans must put the 2003 film in the past, as you got a new hero that you all have been waiting for.

    With the new superhero TV shows that we get today like: Gotham, The Flash, Agent Carter and Arrow.

Those shows I'm not such a big fan of because I rather see a full movie of these character's as it will have more to work on with the budget and all that stuff, but not a 10 or 13 episodes of a TV show. These superhero TV shows never suck me in into it's world or even it's character's, I mean it would at least get my interest and make me keep coming back to watch more episodes if the creator development more on that.

    I won't lie here when I first heard that Marvel studios was making a TV show out of Daredevil I just thought to myself "Oh no not another one of those superhero TV shows". But then I heard all the positive and amazing feedback it was getting and got quickly got interested in it and checked it out straight and I got to say that Daredevil is the best thing Marvel as ever done.

    What really hooked me to keep on watching the show is how dark, violent and real it was, this isn't your average superhero, no in this are hero is human and can take pain and injured. This is what makes Daredevil a different show and is it just me or I had a Batman Begins feel to it.

    Charlie Cox as Daredevil was absolutely spot on great casting. He added a lot to his character if it's pain, injured, being a hero or just being Matt Murdock. He was Daredevil, he was Matt Murdock these no doubt about it he nailed the role and I can't wait to see what else he brings to season 2.

    Vincent D'Onofrio plays Wilson Fisk the villain of the show and may god this has to be the best and the most understandable villain I've seen in a while and Vincent D'Onodrio did outstanding in this role. Wilson Fisk in this show wasn't just a big evil guy who dose horrible things because well his the villain and his there to do bad things, well that's not the case here as I was so surprise how social awkward and so down to earth human he was and I loved that, I'm sick of these big cold perfect villains that has nothing interesting about them but this is totally different and new, it's a bit like some people in reality. These one episode showing his past and why he is the way he is and I think it has to be the most shocking and uncomfortable episodes I every watched. These like other episodes where he's on data and starting a relationship and it wasn't boring or didn't drag at all and that's because of the excellent performance and the writing that made a scene like that interesting.

    Vincent D'Onofrio did a excellent and outstanding job playing the villain as he gave so much to his character that it came off brilliant.

    The action scenes in this show are... freaking mind-blowing and awesome. These an amazing fight scene in the episode Cut Man with the long take fight scene with great fighting and realistic stunts, oh and the sound in that scene made it work even more because every punch and every kick sounded rough and painful.

    For problems with the show I don't really have many to be honest but if I have to say which episode was my least favorite has to be Sick, it's not the worse episode but compare it to the other episodes Stick was my least favorite.

    Overall Daredevil the TV show was freaking amazing and set's a new bar for superhero TV shows.    … Expand

    Not the simplistic "good versus evil" typical Marvel story here. Daredevil shows humans with different plans and different moral opinions. Also, the hero is an human being credible, vulnerable, and prone to make mistakes. In this order the show is reminiscent of the Nolan's Batman. I think that Daredevil is simply the best history of an hero ever told by Marvel.

    The 2003 Daredevil film was abysmal and TV shows based in the MCU have so far been mediocre. This series thankfully outshines both.

Although I should point out that he is not as 'super' as heroes we see in the films. Watching Captain America get into a brawl with 10 guys then shrug it off like it was nothing is always entertaining and works well for the universally appealing films but for a less powerful hero like Daredevil it needs to be the more grounded setting that is achievable through Netflix. When Daredevil takes on 10 guys there isn't the same guarantee that he will win or that he will be able to walk away so simply if he does. If someone in this show (hero or villain) gets hit then it looks like it hurts.
    This medium fits the character of Daredevil perfectly. It wouldn't feel right thematically to see him going against aliens and robots like some of the more fantastical heroes but seeing him take on the street level villains (mainly the brilliantly portrayed Kingpin) is a joy to watch and the fight scenes are superbly made
    But getting away from the action, the drama in the show is equally if not more entertaining. Supporting characters like Karen and Foggy are certainly enjoyable but the most intrigue comes from watching Matt Murdock and the Wilson Fisk struggle against each other while juggling their own personal challenges. Each character has remarkable depth and are each likeable in different ways to the point that whenever enjoy seeing a victory for one of them you still lament the others' defeat.
    This is a well written and fantastically performed action/crime drama that can be enjoyed regardless of whether you are familiar with the MCU or the comics. There are a few nods to the films and easter eggs for long time fans to spot but for the most part this stands independently from the franchise it could have very easily leaned on to make easy money (I'm looking at you, Agents of SHIELD). I can't recommend it enough.    … Expand

The cast are brilliant and bring no cliched characters such as vincent d'onofrio who gives the character of Wilson Fisk so much more than a simple thug boss character, this is seen when the character of Wilson's love interest (Vanessa) is with him making him seem such a sympathetic character but at the same time you know that if you messed with him he wouldn't thing twice about killing you. It's hard to single out a great performance as I've said everyone's role is important and the cast give there all to show this. The fight sequences are great especially in the end of episode 2 but sometimes appear to be be to dark in terms of lighting. The final third can be slower but none of the episodes feel like fillers.… Expand

    One of the best comic book adaptations not only in TV, but in general. It's a faithful adaptation of the character's mythos and lore without being a full blown recreation of events staged in the comics, which allows both diehard comic fans AND casual viewers alike the chance to be fully absorbed and shocked at the many twists and turns the narrative takes.

I think almost anyone will fall in love with how well made this show is, and how totally apparent it is that much thought and effort went into crafting this magnum opus of crime drama AND superhero television.… 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."

    It's competently assembled but ultimately sort of hollow.

    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.
