    Positives:

    Fight scenes
    Other non-fighting Daredevil scenes
    Any scene without Foggy, but with Murdoch

    Cons:
    Cliche Childhood Flashbacks
    Cliche Villains
    Cringe-worthy scenes with Foggy character (He's basically Jar Jar Binks)

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Suspended disbelief. The story is bad, fight sequences are bad, acting is bad.

    Alot of the fight sequences are abysmal, the first episode started okay coasting into the unknown. Then a boxer cartwheels like a monkey, using drunken fist. The boomerang trajectory ricochet was absolutely blinding.

    Moving onto episode 2. Maybe we would have like to see his wounding rather then him turning up in the clan hospital. Breaking the first superhero rule, giving away identity. Must have been bandaid for vigilante recruitment, rather then any morphine eh doc? Although the later scream mask, was so comical. The fire extinguisher dropped from 3 floors up, a headshot doesn't kill any unsuspecting. Neither does being pushed off of 5 stories.

    Onto the drunk brawl, faceplam. The dyspraxic use of coordination engaged. Not one of the punches shown had any power behind them, no weight, no style, they wouldn't have made a 5 year old cry. Apart from when looking like a lumberjack, off the camera, not showing the victim engaged, that any punches were connecting with. Don't hurt the stuntman, no, really don't hurt those stuntman. He disarms a shotgun, the knee and headbutt used, what was that? The right hook upon entering the first room. Who the hell steps into a broken door? He has a shotgun although doesn't swing it like a bat. He isn't going to fire that shotgun anyway. This show hasn't decided if he is a killer, or rather not. He toe pokes, it wouldn't score a goal with, so why hasn't he fallen over yet, because he is going to do a later roll for some unknown reason? The biggest laugh was him actually falling over the guy in the doorway upon fight ending. There was a better roundhouse kick somewhere in the fight. The leap off the wall to put the guy in the doorway was without any elbow, cannot imagine anyone becoming unconscious. The were some armpit punches to enemies lying on the ground that also demostrate the lack of jab

    He trains on a punch bag. Where did he learn how to roll, or judo? A skipping rope is out of the question, no hand to eye coordination.

    In some justification there were some much better cordinated fights scenes throughout the episodes seen, although sometimes often mostly lacking, containing largely those, above properties demonstrated.

    The story, dialogue have also been quite bad. The bar scene with trueblood's worm in the tequila, yawn. Amongst the courtroom standup. A blindman covered in facial bruising representing GBH. That will win an acquittal, quite evileye it surely will. The yakuza coke factory the blind leading the blind, so tell me why the last guy who was packaging is winking?

    He drops some badguy's at the police station, others he does not, how did the first slaver get away into later episode, he must not have wanted to carry him all the way from the docks.

    Quite funny watching these errors when not faster forwarding to find them    … Expand

Reverse that for DD, who spends too much time in church and delivering blustery lines that sound like he's in mid-sob on EVERYTHING. They got the non-stereotypical black/white bad/good guys approach right, they just didn't spend enough time on their dominating sides, showing the stark contrasts and dichotomies both represented.

    But I'll hang in there for Season 2 if the finale is any indication of the pickup in pace and costumes needed. Character exposition is okay, good even. But this is a superhero show - it's already a cartoon simply by premise, so let's not spend too much time there. Let's get out and kick some butt!    … 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

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

Matt as an attorney was spellbinding, as a friend endearing, and as Daredevil impressive and terrifying in turns. Wilson Fisk was perfect, balanced between insane brutality and complex sensitivity.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 can't say enough good things about Daredevil. The show has great pacing, moving between action, drama and comedy very organically.

The show has great pacing, moving between action, drama and comedy very organically. The comedy is driven by the characters and the story rather than being driven into it by a comedy relief character or one liners. The portrayal of secrecy's effect on personal relationships feels authentic as does the transformation of friendships and romance over the story. The characters also all remain consistent without being predictable with the exception of the costume maker between season 1 and 2.

    The scenes can be a bit visually dark, obscuring some of the action, but for the most part we have a clear image of everything that's happening. The enduring damage of constant combat is also a nice touch.    … Expand

    Amazing action scenes, best so far in this series. Direction and writing + great cast made this prolly the best season on the Nextflix MCU. Kingpin made a great job as villain. I feel bad for Iron Fist and Luke Cage but they miss what Daredevil have: quality of writing and direction.

    Hats off to Vincent D'Onofrio. Fantastic performance and really brought his character to life.

    If I have a gripe, it would be that there is perhaps too much buildup. The story did drag at times. A bit more action and superhero stuff would have been nice. Also would be nice if they would expand on DD's rogues gallery in season 2 onwards. Season one was very lacking in this regard.

    Overall:
    A great show and I hope to sea allot more in the years to come.

    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.

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.

    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

    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.
