    A great tribute to the man without fear. With its noir style and decent cast , I simply can't wait for more. A great improvement from Agents of Shield and the slightly better Agent Carter.

    I have watched the first three episodes and am hooked. Some of the action sequences are breathtaking and are shot in one shot or they have used some kinda trickery. I would Definately recommend u try this series out. And no I'm not a marvel fanboy and am not a big fan of the other super hero tv series but daredevil is something special

    Vincent D'Onfrio steals the show as Wilson Fisk. His screen presence is outstanding. Daredevil himself is good and nails the nerd element perfectly. The supporting cast works well in Matt's slipstream.

    But Fisk is the man here, puts meat and bones on a fantasy tale and somehow makes it believable and thoughtful. Lastly its much more violent and more willing to kill off characters than    Vincent D'Onfrio steals the show as Wilson Fisk. His screen presence is outstanding.

    A series that goes beyond the ordinary, is BIG and INCREDIBLE.
    It can not be compared with other series, since Daredevil is in the way of epicity.

    D'Onofrio's performance is either stilted or scenery-chewing, but still a great show.

    After a few years with comic book series being frequently released, Daredevil seems to have learned from the mistakes of its predecessors. Just like Captain America: The Winter Soldier raised the bar for Marvel movies, Daredevil does the same for the TV shows.

Just like Captain America: The Winter Soldier raised the bar for Marvel movies, Daredevil does the same for the TV shows.
    Unlike Arrow and Gotham, which go overboard with the fan service nods, the references in Daredevil have something the other two shows have always lacked: subtlety. In fact, it takes more than a single viewing to catch them all. Another gigantic improvement in the genre is that its story has a solid continuity that pays off instead of the lazy "case of the week" formula that doesn't reward you as a viewer.
    The creators of the show obviously love the source material and have an incredible attention to detail in every scene. Charlie Cox's performance as Matt Murdock is full of understated nuances that elevate the character, which is itself, excellent in paper. Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk gives Tom Hiddleston's Loki a run for his money as the best villain in the MCU. Similar to Loki, Liam Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul and Michael Shannon's General Zod, Fisk is portrayed as a misunderstood loner rather than as a straightforward villain. Some viewers might find themselves rooting more for Fisk than for Murdock himself, that's how good of a character he is. Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson succeeds in being more than a comic relief sidekick. In contrast to Jon Favreau's Happy Hogan and Kat Dennings in the Thor movies, he actually serves a purpose to the story, and you know, he is actually funny. Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page is in a way, the heart of the show. She's the character with the most notorious development, and an everywoman trapped in an extraordinary situation. You could argue the same regarding Claire Temple (played well by Rosario Dawson), but other than healing Matt's wounds, she is not as active as Karen.
    The action scenes are inspired and aren't there just to move the plot forward. They also tell you a lot about Daredevil himself. That he is skilled, but not to the point of being an unstoppable tour de force like the other Marvel heroes, not yet anyways. Every punch, stab and fall hurts and has consequences.
    Another important aspect that distinguishes Daredevil from other heroes is that he is constantly questioning himself which moral direction should he take. In a gray world that demands desperate measures to be taken, the answer is never obvious. Even as a lawyer and a catholic, Murdock acknowledges that morality is too complex to be determined only by law and religion.
    My only two issues with the show are that it still includes some cliches (the nurse as a romantic interest, stereotypical Russian and Asian bad guys, the villain comparing himself to the hero) and that they portrayed Stick as the king of jerks, when in the comics he was a noble and inspirational mentor.
    The success in Daredevil's overall direction gets me excited for its future, and I hope it encourages Marvel and Netflix to adapt more characters with similar tones like Punisher, Moon Knight and Ghost Rider.    … Expand

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

To put it frankly, the pace becomes sluggish at times and I get annoyed after I hear the third or fourth parable teaching in which someone has to give us a silquoy. If there is strength in the writing it is in Kingpin, who is seen as a philanthropist and his character really shines above all the rest, even becoming more interesting than daredevil at times.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you want redemption for the crap movie released back in the day then this is it. The movie definitely plays on the premise that the audiences knows a tad bit about Daredevil already. While his abilities and skills are spelled out eventually, the process isn't bored or mundane. The fight sequences are great. No blurred camera so that moves look better. In fact, there's one scene where the entire fight is one continuous take. The story itself could use some better narrative but overall, the character development is great and the pacing is good.… Expand

    The action is good and shot very well. The casting is also good. Netflix have produced a very good series and network TV should be worried, very worried. The only negative was the suit in the final episode. It wasn't exactly badass. His vigilante attire was better. Apparently it will be improved on as the series progresses, so starting low and ending high is something to look forward to...

Not to say it's perfect, but it's serviceable and didn't make me cringe (my benchmark).
    The thing that really worked for me with Daredevil was the world creation and the acting. Charlie Cox's portrayal is fantastic, I believed every second. I've little time for the mandatory goofy sidekick, but Foggy grew on me and their show down after the 'it's you!' revelation is brilliant, both actors really had me buying into the emotional stakes in what could have been a very heavy handed scene.
    The flashbacks were well executed (mostly). Nothing extraneous, just the things we need to know, when we needed to know them. A far cry from Arrows flashbacks with Amell in that ridiculous wig.
    Deborah Ann Woll's secretary worked less well. She tries really hard to distance her character from True Blood's Jessica and after a few episodes I did stop wanting her to bare her fangs. But the Karen character is that awful combination of too naive to be true, improbably sure footed in her 'investigation' and like a sledgehammer on the issue of 'right'. I really hate this trope because in any reality except Marvel's, someone so idealistic yet naive would be dead. And without nuance such a character is pretty boring.
    But all told, I really enjoyed it, I loved the very small glimpses of the bigger world behind and the mysteries to come, but with the focus square on laying the foundations of the current reality. I can't wait to see where this goes.    … Expand

    Daredevil is engrossing, gritty with a sombre tone. It’s wonderfully paced and drags you along for the ride into the devilish underworld of Hell’s Kitchen. It’s dark and devoid of pretension and flatly refuses to sugar-coat the abject violence laying bare the tenets of the delusion of power and control over the proletariat.

    One thing that really stood out above the rest was the exceptional fight scenes which I personally felt were done better than any of the other Marvel superhero adaptations. They were definitely well thought out and captured the raw essence of Daredevil's martial arts skills that was aided by his superpowers. Best of all, every single one of these fight scenes left me literally at the edge of my seat while I constantly found myself cheering on the protagonist to "finish him!".

    For the most part, this series has made it more than gratifying in every sense of the way to sit through all 13 hours in one binge-watching sitting. I was apprehensive at first that Daredevil would only be donning the Man Without Fear story arc's generic all-black costume throughout the show but once he finally puts on his famous red suit, there is this triumphant and satisfying feeling that would overwhelm the audience as it did for me.
    Then there's the way that the Kingpin story arc builds up its momentum until the grand finale. Everything screams polished.

    What the show has done was make the characters feel relatable even though they may belong to an entirely different universe from us per se. Like for example when the antagonist's dark background was revealed, it showed how much it contrasted with the one that the protagonist was shown to have and how it resulted them to have chosen the paths they are now in and how they would eventually cross.

    Other than that, the acting was decent but would not exactly garner the recognition from awards shows and the likes though Deborah Ann Woll was particularly a standout for me if I were to pick as she brought a level of emotional depth to her supporting character in certain dramatic scenes.

    Marvel has definitely made the right decision to house Daredevil in today's most popular streaming giant, Netflix as the lack of constraints that network tv would have brought has been the single greatest benefit to both the show and the audience. Although sometimes the violence may be overly gratuitous, the ideals of what Daredevil should be has finally been achieved.    … Expand

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 girl Paige is more annoying than she is useful. I thought she would be eliminated in the episode she was introduced but she ended up being a regular character and I don't think she's any good. There are inconsistencies with characters in some episodes. Where Foggy was quite funny and laid back, then next episode he's ready to quit on his friends on a whim and very unforgiving and cruel. So the writers should make a game plan next season to keep characters consistent with who they are without swinging their emotions several different directions. There is a news reporter throughout the whole season that is completely useless as well as a Spanish mother that didn't make any sense in the story. So aside from some unlikable characters and awkward mood swings the series is a huge hit. I hope they introduce some more well known villains and keep Daredevil on his toes to fight again at least a few more seasons. Please don't ruin the potential of this show.… Expand
