So after two brilliantly directed episodes, we got a slower and more law filled 50 minutes. I like that this show is not going with a strict superhero storyline. In other words it's nice to see our hero do something other than beat the crap out of bad guys. The episode started at ended with what is likely the two most graphic scenes of the series thus far; the bowling ball head smash, and a spike going through someone's head. I would love to see Daredevil back on the big screen, but they would have to cut back on the violence if they want it to be PG-13. But man this show is great.
The episode centered around a new client for Nelson & Murdock, John Healy. Of course, there is more to this case than led on, so it was interesting to see everything play out. It was also cool to see Daredevil's powers be shown to a fuller extent as he consistently detected which member of the jury was showing more nerves than normal. While the court chaos was happening, we saw Karen being offered money to shut her trap about the murder a few episodes back. Karen has probably been my favorite character so far as Woll has given a wide ranged performance. On one hand she can be a sweet and innocent woman, then on the other hand she has a tremendous amount of pride and conviction. As we draw closer into the meat of the story behind what's going on in Hell's kitchen, I hope we also go deeper into Karen and hopefully get closure on Daniel's murder.
Overall it was a very different episode that lacked action, but it was meant to. We did get a brief glimpse at Wilson Fisk for the first time, and hopefully more of Rosario Dawson next episode. I really like what I see so far from the man without fear.
+Karen's wide range of emotions
+Different style than the first few episodes
+Expanded abilities
-Slow build, lacked some action
7.7/10
