    Season 3 of Daredevil was very interesting to watch. But I though it was more about Fisk and the villains in general. Their story arc was expanded and rich while Daredevil was kind of an accessory. The fighting scenes were a mix bag. Some were good, some were a bit too generic. The actors, especially the villains were convincing and intense. I give it a solid 85%.

    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 theDaredevil 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.    … Expand

    Wow. What a season. Everything was great, but the show could have done with less deus ex machina. Everybody brought their A game, and the result is something surreal. The acting this season was on a different level of good, and the fight scenes, especially, were just really captivating. Looking forward to more of this quality.

    Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your butts because you’re in for one hell of a ride with season 3 of Marvel’s Daredevil. If you are looking for a spoiler free review, then you are in the right place. Season 3 delivers in so many ways, but it’s not without it shortcomings.

    Matt Murdock – The Daredevil There are not a lot of shows around that leave me feeling satisfied once I’ve watched    Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your butts because you’re in for one hell of a ride with season 3 of Marvel’s Daredevil. If you are looking for a spoiler free review, then you are in the right place. Season 3 delivers in so many ways, but it’s not without it shortcomings.

    Matt Murdock – The Daredevil
    There are not a lot of shows around that leave me feeling satisfied once I’ve watched the entire season. Daredevil came through in so many ways this time around. Let’s start with Matt Murdock. If you can recall at the end of The Defenders, we are lead to believe Matt finally ran out of luck. Matt is a troubled soul in season 2 all the way up to the end. At the close of season 2, an entire building falls on him, giving us the impression Matt is dead. That is, until the last scene, where we see him badly beaten and laying in a bed in his old church where he grew up. The dichotomy of Matt Murdock and Daredevil this season is exceptional. The writers in season 3 did a fantastic job of translating the emotion felt by Matt to the tv screen. The complexities Matt has to face in his dual life are played out incredibly well. The pressure points, the stresses, his friends, and the man he will become going forward all received level playing ground this time around. And all wrapped up in some muay thai boxing ropes spun around his fists.

    Matt is not alone in that character maturation. Dex, Fisk, Foggy, and even Karen at times – all are given their fair share of growth and depth. I’ll get more into Karen’s character in a moment, but overall this season 3’s character development was fantastic; particularly when we see Dex and Fisk together. I won’t spoil anything, but the way the writers brought them together was a wonderful way to show how Fisk’s influence affected Dex.

    The Bad Guys
    This was probably the best duo of bad guys yet. The brutal tactician of Fisk paired with the deviousness of Dex. This pair of baddies really have something going for them. There were times watching Fisk where I was literally wowed. I don’t think any other actor other than Vincent D’Onofrio could have played a better Kingpin. He is the best bad guy in the Netflix tv universe without a doubt. With additional layers of psychological depravity from Dex, it really made for formidable and believable bad guys. As I mentioned previously, the developmental depth of these characters really had me up for some late nights. I couldn’t stop watching. This brutal duo really make season 3 binge worthy.

    The Netflix Struggle
    I don’t know if it’s like this with other originals on Netflix, but something that Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones all have in common is that mid season drag. It always felt like there was one or two episodes too many packed in the middle of the season that didn’t do much for me. They are great filler, and I wouldn’t go as far as saying they’re not needed, but they are very close to that. It seems to happen every time there is some type of plot twist, and Daredevil had some good ones, but everything seems to ramp down a little. The pace slows as if to drag out the season for just a few more episodes. This is my only hang up for season 3. That and Karen Page.

    She just doesn’t do it for me. I could never feel that much of a connection to her. It may be that actress Deborah Ann Woll plays the roll with too much anxiety, or it may be the way the writers want her portrayed? She has been through a lot. But, I found myself wanting her to be a little bit more of a strong character. Not as anxious, and a little tougher from growing through her life experiences. Her back story is important, but I found myself wondering if this was being told only to set us up for future Daredevil seasons? It was interesting, but in the end I just wanted more from her character.

    Final Score
    Overall this was probably the best season of Daredevil. The plot twists, the action, the compelling characters. I absolutely loved this season. I have to give Daredevil a 9.5 out of 10. Other than the mentioned Netflix episodes that seemed to drag out the season, and not really connecting with Karen, this season is the best Daredevil yet. I can’t wait to see where we go from here.    … Expand

Strongest of these is the monumental conflict between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. Every other crime show on television should take notes on how this story arc was handled in season 3. The tension and drama were consistently strong and satisfying. Second, if only by a little, is the ongoing interaction between Murdock, Foggy and Karen. There is an incredible episode, "Karen", that gives you a full backstory on the hidden secrets of her life. And third...well, I won't say, because it is a stunning reveal in this season.
    It's amazing how much high quality drama in cinema and on television comes from a comics outfit. Marvel has proven the validity of its storytelling chops over and over again.
    One last thing: kudos to the fight choreographer and cinematographer for the long single-take fight scene that takes place inside the prison early on in Season 3. Anything "Atomic Blonde" can do, "Daredevil" can do better.    … Expand

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!… Expand

    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.
