Daredevil - Season 1 Review
Season rating - 8.5-great
Highlight episode - Speak of the Devil
Awesome show, really consistent and not a dull episode. Charlie Cox was great and Karen and Foggy were pretty solid too, although the latter took a while to grow on me. Ben and Karen's subplot kind of dragged but it was still a good addition. The fight scenes were amazing, especially the long take at the end of episode 2. The fight in episode 9 was pretty great, too. D'Onofrio nailed his role, a well-developed villain whose origin episode perfectly explained his mindset. Wesley was pretty badass as well, kind of sad he died. The second half was a little slower, especially the last couple of episodes barring the finale, however, that's not to say they didn't work as good build-up. The finale was pretty good, maybe a little underwhelming but I liked the whole Kingpin arrest sequence and the final scene with the wallpaper in the cell. The costume looks a little odd but overall it's not too bad. On the whole, a great origin to the Daredevil character with gritty realism that's a refreshing take for a Marvel property.
