    What a surprise, the 3rd season is much better than the 1st and 2nd! The perfect conclusion to Netflix's Marvel series.

    What a phenomenal season and finale to easily the best piece of media to come out of the MCU. Almost every episode here wipes anything the MCU has released. What an amazing show (minus most of Season 2).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DD season 3 comes back strong and reaches the heights set by season 1. Everything that worked about the first two seasons is back and better than ever, which is immeasurably bolstered by Fisk’s return. Fisk is back in his former glory and truly shows us how powerful, influential, and intimidating he can be in this season and that he is a worthy adversary to Murdock who has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. What this season does that the previous two didn’t do is focus a lot more on the supporting cast. Multiple supporting members get backstories that they normally wouldn’t get and these backstories enrich the season and give it depth without making it complicated since they are worked pretty well into the main storyline. We don’t have multiple plotlines going on here, just one plot with a lot going on in it which makes the season a lot easier to follow. The end of the season leaves opportunities for more stories, some of which unfortunately we may never get to see due to Netflix’s cancellation of the show after season 3. I’d love to see these characters reappear in the MCU at some point in the movies or TV shows since these are really cool and interesting characters who are played by great actors and they deserve to have more screen time. My only criticism of this season is that it starts out with very slow pacing, so you have to push through a bit to get to the exciting parts. When you do, though, the action and excitement are back in full. DD season 3 rebounds nicely from season 2 and takes us back to season 1 while giving us some interesting and engaging structural differences. Expand

    La construcción de la trama y la narrativa es interesante, en base más a tramas policiales y demás, pero quizás me falta un poco de Daredevil, y del traje.
    Tiene demasiados momentazos que se te quedan en la retina, técnicamente es preciosa, pero eso, falta un pelín de Daredevll.
    Cosas buenas: La estética, el uso de la música, un elenco perfecto, Kingpin, Daredevil y su construcción y las coreografías de combates, barbaridad.
    Cosas malas: Quizás peca un poco de intentar ser demasiado realista, y en algunos episodios se les va el ritmo.
    Conclusión: La mejor serie de superhéroes que hay hasta el momento.

    What was asked for most was that they close it with dignity and they couldn't. In fact, I think it's notorious that the series has regressed from the first two, and that the Marvel-Netflix relationship affected the innovation of the showrunners.

    Putting Charlie Cox on a higher level, what I liked the most was the weight that Karen Page's character took minute by minute, it was a giant support to join all the subplots. Anyway, overall it's an interesting series, a 6 pulling 7 out of 10.

At the same time, Wilson Fisk, the kingpin, is persuading the FBI to act in his benefit and building a way more stronger empire than ever, while that he meets the agent poindexter, a very skilled man that not seems that can miss any shot or anything that he can throw.

    I really enjoyed to see in this season a much more damaged Matt Murdock, where he awakes the situation of his body is sad, how he can't hear properly anymore or how his body is so weak, and little by little he starts to get on shape once again. I really liked how he decides to go to missions not as Daredevil and try to get information talking to people, and how much struggle he gets by that, it was good. The Kingpin's plan it is probably the better thing in this show, it is so great and scary, you totally believe that he does have control of everything and in most moments it makes sense, it is understandable how he did, how long did he planned all of that stuff and, again, it makes sense wich was very important, how he manipulated everthing with some happenings or some money, he can control everyone and coerce in his good. The story overall is good, but there are some holes, some moments where things didn't made much sense, there moments where the story just don't advance, there some boring and moments where i just didn't cared about what was happening, one of the reasons for this problem is the necessity to make 13 episodes, it is way to many, there was no necessity to make that many, it would be better with 8 maybe.

    The Agent Poindexter, AKA Bullseye, is a damn great addiction for this story, the whole build up for him was amazing and nearly perfect. First we see a little bit of his skills as an agent with a gun, wich are dope, the action at the very begin was dope. The whole development of how sick Poindexter is in his mind is great, the episode where Fisk hear the tapes is very creative, you got to know the situation in a fun and very dark way together with Wilson. You believe in how he got manipulated and totally see how fearless he is, how insane, the sound that you can hear in his mind is another great point, it helps on giving him the uncomfortable that he feels, so as the pain in his head.
    The acting of Wilson Bethel is really good, he could pass the necessary aspects to the character, some little smiles, having fun and very convincing in his mental illness, in his suffering and in his lost situation.

    Karen Page character really doesn't have much to do in this season, her character could have been better used, they do created another arc for her, with single episodes only to develop and create flashbacks to her, and when it was happening i though that something big would happen to her character to compensate, but actually it didn't, and i do like Karen, but i think that she was misused in this season, althouhg that Deborah Ann Woll did a good job.

    The action is hella fun, so as in other seasons, there is one long take fight for this one that it is so damn fun and so damn well made, the police station whole sequence is one of the bests from the whole season, if not the best in general, you got Fisk working under radar and figuring things out, you got Matt getting cornered all the time, and some really dope moves and struggling as we are usual from Murdock, that whole sequence was amazing. The action with Bullseye, now that is amazing, everything that he can do is so fun to watch, it is different and creative how they made it, that is one of the most dangerous one on one people to get, because he can literally kill you with anything that may be in his hand from a distance, and he do that all the time and it is so fun to watch.

    The writers no doubt think they are writing for Naruto because every character that wanders into the frame gets his or her tedious backstory told in detail.
    Fisk, as portrayed here, is still one of the most boring villains in any superhero series to date. I have no idea what the love is for him.
    Worst of all, this season also contains the 'wrongly accused' plot line. One of the laziest and biggest cliches available. It is always a sure sign that the writers have run out of ideas.
    Fortunately, the series has been cancelled before Matt gets amnesia from a blow to the head. That was next in season 4. I guarantee it.

    It is quite clear at this point that Marvel Studios is reigning king among all film conglomerates and this is not only due to their marvelous cinematic universe, but also due to their understanding of trans-media storytelling – telling a story across multiple mediums.

    It is quite clear at this point that Marvel Studios is reigning king among all film conglomerates and this is not only due to their marvelous cinematic universe, but also due to their understanding of trans-media storytelling – telling a story across multiple mediums.

    After collaborating with Netflix to bring fans a new take on Daredevil, the man without fear, Marvel then expanded to produce JESSICA JONES, LUKE CAGE, and IRON FIST – though the latter two recently got the axe – and built their own shared universe by bringing all four heroes together in Netflix’s THE DEFENDERS.

    The one that began it all, however, has not had the smoothest of runs due to its second season’s narrative struggling to handle all the players within the storyline.

    Yet, last week saw the release of Daredevil’s third season – and what a spectacularly powerful and resonant season it was.

    Though many claimed that the season started off slow, it is exactly this pacing that made the hero’s first entry so poignant – it took its time to set the board, and the pieces before unleashing havoc upon the city of New York from all sides.

    Season 3 plays like a political conspiracy thriller more than it does a tale of heroes and villains, and this echoes another majorly successful and much-loved Marvel Studios production, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, though DAREDEVIL is bloodier and much darker.

    The macro story arc deals with the release of Season 1 villain Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, from prison after he begins to collaborate with the FBI to takedown New York City’s underground criminal families, and the repercussions that occur due to this.

    Nothing is what as it seems as a much deeper conspiracy takes shape across the thirteen-episode season.

    The micro story arc deals with redemption, as a lost and broken Matt Murdoch faces his inner demons, almost literally in some cases, like he never has before as he realizes and fully becomes the man without fear.

    Herein lies the true strength of the writing team as they shifted focus from the spectacle of Season 2 back to the reason why Season 1 was so powerful: the characters.

    Season 3 saw a great deal of Matt Murdoch’s cluster and they were as strong as the protagonist himself.

    Foggy Nelson’s arc has his never-faltering faith in the legal system is put to the test and challenged at every corner until the noose is tightened and Nelson’s family becomes a target.

    Karen Page’s past sins come back to haunt her and her character’s intentions become clearer and more relatable as her drive to redeem herself reaches its climax.

    Father Lantom and Sister Maggie also come center stage here as they both are catalysts in a discovery that Matt makes towards the season’s midpoint that derails him from his path.

    Yet, the heroes are not the only characters that are given a spotlight.

    Wilson Fisk, much like his first appearance, is given much screen time and it is an utmost delight due to the character’s delicious complexities and philosophical views on life. He is not a typical villain and this makes him all the more intriguing as a character.

    The season’s antagonist is Special Agent Ben Poindexter, aka “Dex”, whose sharp-eye and uncanny marksmanship become a danger to Matt and his friends when he is manipulated by Wilson Fisk into becoming his hitman. Dex is given almost an entire episode where his backstory is told and the writers hit their target during those moments.

    Speaking of the writers, it was quite refreshing to watch thirteen hours of television where the screenwriting is fearless.

    From using the story of Job, to emphasizing themes of forgiveness, prayer, and finding one’s way after being lost, this season of DAREDEVIL was beyond biblical and this was a major strength.

    Visually, this season was absolutely stunning: from all the beautiful lighting within the cathedral, to the epically intense ten-minute long take inside the prison, there was no holding back at all from all parties involved.

    The fight choreography was on par as well.

    Both Daredevil and Poindexter had their own fighting style and tactic which keeps the audience on their toes during the fight sequences due to the fact that it was both a test of physical and strategic strength.

    This particular element, the balance between external and internal, is why Daredevil Season 3 is so formidable not just as a super hero series, but as a conspiracy thriller.

    Merging the super hero genre with other genres has been a stylistic choice that Marvel Studios has been doing since CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, and is the reason why that even after twenty-two films the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the strongest it has ever been.

Matt is broken and lost while Fisk makes his move that sets up the entire season. Wilson Fisk and Poindexter are amazing villains with a lot of depth. Poindexter is with out a doubt the best Netflix/Marvel villain to date and Fisk is the best he's ever been. This seasons takes you on an emotional ride with Matt, Karen, & Foggy and make them all better characters by the end of this season. There is no bad episode as they are all great and move the story and characters forward in a satisfying way. The wait for season 3 was worth it and I hope the remaining Netflix/Marvel shows follow suit. Expand

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.

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.

    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.
