    Unlike the previous two seasons, Season 3 minimizes Matt and his moral dilemmas to make more room for what is truly one of Marvel's best supporting casts.

    Season 3 ends with plenty of reason to be intrigued by a potential Season 4, from the restoration of Matt, Foggy, and Karen’s partnership to the looming threat of Bullseye in full villain form. The show may never have the spark it did in its earliest days, but it did help elevate the way stories of superheroes can be told on television. There’s still progress to be made, but Daredevil”feels like it’s on the right track.

    Oleson and Co. have crafted such a dense, dark set-up here that, for the first time since Jessica Jones‘ first season, diving back into the streets of Hell’s Kitchen feels more like a treat than a chore. Thank God.

    This corner of Hell’s Kitchen has provided thrills on a reliable basis, even when legions of faceless fighters cluttered up the screen, but thanks to a new creative team, they’re more than a welcome distraction. Matt’s body and will may have been broken by Defenders, but Daredevil’s third season is a return to form.

    While it's partly let down by its glacially-paced first three episodes, Daredevil season 3 manages to find its footing before long. Fans of the ongoing battle between Matt Murdock and Kingpin will not be disappointed.

    The first and best of the Marvel-Netflix series, Daredevil returns for its third season having contracted the same affliction that has plagued encores of its brethren: a sluggish, plodding pace that arduously advances the story. Despite marquee villains new and old, the Man Without Fear thus risks becoming the Series That Induces Sleep.

    Daredevil - Season 3 definitely one of the worst season. There are so many plot holes in the storyline, Terrible direction making it more of aDaredevil - Season 3 definitely one of the worst season. There are so many plot holes in the storyline, Terrible direction making it more of a "cheesy season" I laughed when the agent addressed Fisk as " KINGPIN" the direction was sure immature & laughable at that scene! Episode Karen was absolutely **** and totally unnecessary. Bullseye at one point of time is stopped by Karen - FUNNY THING INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER DAREDEVIL he exists the church & comes back again ??? Huge plot mistake !!! He should have just gone after Daredevil. In the latter part of the series, they have shown FISK had arranged Agent Nadeem's sister's health policy to be revoked? Come on its so cheesy & overdone. It was so laughable some of the scenes. The season focused so much on Foggy & Karen with less talking to Daredevil !!! 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 ! Very bad direction they were trying to get the audience emotionally inclined to Daredevil's character :-( Bullseye ( Dexter ) scenes are so cheesy specially when he is interacting with Agent Nadeem after he is identified such a joke & overly done.

    I am a huge Daredevil fan! I'm surprised by some of the comments on here praising Season 3 :-(    … Full Review »

    Daredevil rises to the occasion and shows why it's leading (or rather last surviving) the TV MCU and it's mainly because of its lead actors,Daredevil rises to the occasion and shows why it's leading (or rather last surviving) the TV MCU and it's mainly because of its lead actors, Charlie Cox, who is so likable in his performance, that he brings a lot of effortless sympathy to the character, and especially Vincent D'Onofrio, who makes himself one of the best villains in the Marvel media properties as a whole. Kingpin is the center of this season as he is the reason this season is as good as it is. They also did a rather good job of introducing Bullseye into the universe. And yes, we're given another hallway fight this time, and it's one of the most innovative and thrilling fight choreography and cinematography on TV.

    This doesn't deserve a perfect 10 like the rabid fanboys will give it as it does have its flaws; namely, the same problems plaguing all of the Netflix Marvel and what sunk Luke Cage and Iron Fist (and will probably sink Jessica Jones and The Punisher if it continues on that path) as far as boring and pointless side plots, characters, and drama that only serves to pad the plot like Karen Page and the FBI agent Nadeem. Foggy is a lot more bearable this season, but he still can be irritating at times.

    But aside from that, it's nice to see that the writers of Daredevil get it in the way the Iron fist, Luke Cage, didn't, and Jessica Jones and The Punisher definitely need to in order to survive. It strikes the right balance of serious drama and comic bookness. It doesn't let the soap-opera-ish drama drag down the show and supersede the action. It has a strong, commanding villain, and most importantly, Daredevil doesn't waste the acting talents and chops of its cast. Luke Cage had Mahershala Ali and Alfre Woodard and wasted them. The Defenders had Sigourney Weaver and blew it. Iron Fist kept sidelining the great Colleen Wing in favor of the droll and boring Finn Jones. Daredevil has Vincent D'Onofrio, utilize him to the hilt, and as a result, we have a great TV show and a memorable villain.    … Full Review »

    Publication "critics" just don't get it when it comes to adapting comic book sources into television (or digital streaming) shows. However, asPublication "critics" just don't get it when it comes to adapting comic book sources into television (or digital streaming) shows. However, as an avid comic book fan who is very familiar with the source material and characters, it just doesn't get much better than this. Daredevil Season Three manages to take the beloved and acclaimed "Born Again" storyline from the pages to the screen, along with enough twists to the narrative that it becomes original enough to enjoy for both comic book and casual fans. The acting is Emmy-worthy from most of the main cast, especially Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk and Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock. The fight scenes are easily the best in the Marvel Netflix Universe, and the narrative's pacing never really feels slow or trodding like in previous series (Luke Cage and Jessica Jones sophomore seasons were terrible at basic storytelling). Several new characters enter the fray, but Bullseye is the obvious standout. I liked how they managed to reinvent his origin story while keeping in many of the original aspects (like the baseball angle). Bullseye truly does fit in as a great supervillain, really upping the ante for Daredevil. Oh, and did I mention how awesome the fight scenes are? Netflix has been stumbling with shows like the recently cancelled Iron Fist, but Daredevil proves that it's king of the hill for the Marvel Cinematic (TV) Universe, with The Punisher and Hulu's The Runaways a few steps behind. Giving this season anything less than a perfect score would be a crime in itself, as this must-watch binge-worthy show truly soars to new heights, and makes it that much harder to wait for the inevitable fourth season. Comic book fans will be thrilled to tears!… Full Review »
