It felt like I was reading the comic
wgeddings21 October 2018
This was an incredible episode. I am trying to avoid spoilers though if you have watched the prior episodes, you likely see all of this coming. Each character/actor does a superb job of filling his/her role, advancing the plot and creating a wild ride. The slow burn on Dex is great and reminded me of Palpatine and Anakin from Star Wars. Matt's defication to his friends and Foggy's commitment are outstanding. Even the normally annoying "journalists are noble" them in shows played just right with Karen and Ellison. Nadeem's thoughts about lying to his family and desire to do right are just a small part of why Nadeem has become a great character this season and is terrific to watch. Meanwhile, the fight at The Bulletin is the confrontation I hoped to see and the main combatants act/react like I would imagine they would. Expertly played, scripted and executed with plenty of light to see (I hate when the have a battle in a dark room with people in dark clothes so you can barely see the great moves the stunt people work so hard in doing). This was what I hoped for in a Daredevil episode. Thank you.

I love Dex
lord_byron-129 October 2018
Bullseye is f***ing amazing. That fight scene was something else. I had a blast watching it. The accuracy! I know he's a psychopath but I feel so bad for him... Fisk is such an asshat (D'Onofrio is great though)

Great Episode!

Face to Face...with himself
lucanreyn-4017720 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Dex is at an all time low now, swarming his head with suicidal thoughts. He gets fired, turned down and humiliated by the woman he has been obsessing over, but through all of this, mastermind Wilson Fisk is the only one to 'look out for him'. Dex and Fisk set fire to the screen every time they have a conversation with one another.

This episode cleverly grows and grows at a steady rate until BOOM! That last sequence happens! An electrifying showdown between Dex (dressed as Daredevil) and Matt, and what a scene that was.

Brutal suspense.

Well executed episode.

One of the best episodes so far. I have to say the development of every single character in this show has been done beautifully. I especially have been enjoying watching the downfall of Dex which is a bittersweet process. Essentially the show does an excellent job of connecting the audience with him at the start of the season, just for us to slowly watch his unfortunate demise as he follows a path Fisk has helped manipulate him into taking.

The next best thing is the Bulletin scene. The layout, the acting, the lighting, the cinematography... Everything about this scene was perfect. It felt true and everything about it made me feel like I was really, truly watching a comic book adaptation.

Excellent

I've never been so impressed with a Daredevil episode. With all the action and plot twists this episode contains, I would dub this as one of the best episodes.

This episode is a mind bender..a cat and mouse game between the FBI and the convict who is pulling the strings from prison.. The tone of this episode Is like a psychological thriller..from the dialogue and the suspense feel was awesome. Not spoiling the plot but your going to be down for a surprise..Thumbs up again

I'm Daredevil
Barry_Garrick25 October 2018
This episode confirms for me that the writers know exactly what they are doing this season. A turning point, which even though most fans and myself saw coming from episode 1, that was executed so well from the start it makes the payoff in the final 15 minutes all the more satisfying. What also stood out this episode was the well written characters especially Foggy and Karen as the writers have toned down the whole 'concerned and judgemental friend' side of them which can become a bit repetitive. Excellent episode from start to finish

This is one the best television episodes I've ever seen. Maybe the best thing I've seen Marvel do. The fight scenes in this episode were crazy great. Enter Bullseye man he was badass. Season 3 is looking to be one of the best seasons ever 11/10 for me spectacular!!! Daredevil really threatens the needle with this episode.

Daredevil vs Daredevil ? The sequence we all were waiting for.
haseebguru6 April 2020
In comparison of previous episodes , it started slow, but well scripted. but then the last 10 minutes were. i was feeling like, i want to scream so loud, clap so hard. The fight which we all wanted to see and it was so smooth and fine. The vibes of dark knight were still there.

Yet another overrated episode
snake-9661510 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Amazing how this episode is so highly overrated due to its fairly mediocre fight. Unlike the one shot take in ep 4, there's nothing special about this fight. The season has been one long slog and definitely not binge watchable. Tough going but Cox and D'Onofrio keep things afloat barely. There's so many filler scenes that make up the bulk of the show that the season could be easily be halved and not matter. The second season was vastly superior and faster paced.

Entertaining.. but it has problems
peter-313715 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
As others have mentioned, the idea that Dex can beat up DD just because he has a suit now is patently ridiculous. But that's not the only issue.

How did Fisk get the suit? It should be with the nuns, as that's where Matt went at the start of the season after surviving the Midland Circle incident. How does Fisk even know exactly where and when Jasper Evans is going to make his statement? I mean, he is the Kingpin and could probably have kept tabs on the guy, but that's never shown. Also, how does Fisk have a phone to even call Dex with? I'm pretty sure his visiting lawyer would not be allowed to bring a phone in the room during such a meeting, precisely to avoid the (technically) prisoner being able to make unmonitored phonecalls. And how did Karen find Jasper? Yeah, she's a reporter but literally all she had is a name. If some screen time had been given to how she found his location, it would be so much more believable.

And as a minor aside on top of all this, it's great that Dex can just shut off the security cams in Fisk's suite, but isn't the first person reviewing that footage going to notice the missing time? That's not an issue unique to this episode, but it still doesn't make sense.

Amazing and one of the best episodes in the show undoubtedly!
gokulmadhu-3753714 August 2021
This episode covers the well planned arc of Dex and finally and the role he takes is the main TWIST in the episode. I cannot emphasize on how great the twist is to be honest. It was totally unexpected and made my jaw drop for about 5 minutes! Almost all characters are facing their internal conflicts too during this episode and it's portrayed very well. The fight scenes are also well executed. The episode was fantabulous!

The Devil You Know
bobcobb3016 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
We got an epic fight scene in episode 4, but I think the one tonight was almost as good. Daredevil vs. "Daredevil" made for pure craziness and I loved every second of it.

I miss the days of straight up fighting in movies that for the last 15-20 years has been phased out for special effects and supernatural stuff. The fight scenes this season are a total throwback and I love it.

Great episode
Pierce251025 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
It was a great episode. Really enjoyed watching the Daredevil vs. Daredevil scene. But I don't understand why Dex just didn't kill Matt and his friends Foggy and Karen when he had the chance to. I mean I guess I understand why he didn't kill Matt but he could have easily killed Karen and Foggy to make it even harder for Matt to prevail against Fisk. It maybe because if they were killed, Matt would have possibly given up. But at that point, wouldn't that have been great for Fisk? Just didn't make too much sense

Smart but what the actual fact ?
varko-7588717 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Oh come on !! I'm not familiar with the daredevil comics or whatever but they made Dex look like he has equal powers with Matt . He even made some moves like Matt is doing when he is trying to hear ! Don't get me wrong , but in this case the suit doesn't make the hero ! Ridiculous . I haven't watched the next episodes yet but if the FBI still thinks that Fisk isn't playing them after this assassination then this must be the stupidest adaptation of any police-like force ever.

Good but not my favorite episode
ha77y73ad9723 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
From the ratings that i saw before watching this episode i thought i was going to love this. Half of the episode I did and the other i didnt.

The first half of the episode was very bogged down in the standard set up for the finale. Matt returns to Karen for help in exposing the truth behind Fisks accusations that he was working for them. which prompted a small man hunt for the guy who attacked Fisk in prison and who somehow escaped. Typical drug den and then Matt returning up to save Karen.

But what I wasn't expecting was the panel by panel fight between the new Daredevil (Pointdexter) and Matt in the full black 'training' suit. This was prefect showcased the full rage of skills that had been homed by Dex where he could hit Matt at any point, around corners bouncing off walls and using office equipment to deadly effect. If Dex had a bit of distance between each other, Matt was on the back foot. only coming level when fighting as close as possible. Keep saying this from each episode the fighting is so prefect from this series its beating series 1 and 2 hands down. To be fair they are the onyl other series that you can compare this fighting style as defenders really messed up with this.

At the end of the episode another standard ending with Fisks mole from prison being killed by Dex and blaming this on Daredevil, which will evidently create a media storm against the devil of hell's kitchen.

Ridiculous
otter6811 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
OK, so Dex is a great FBI agent, but he is also as good or better as a martial artist than Matt who was trained by Stick? There is no backstory to explain how Dex got as good as he is. We're just supposed to buy it and not question it. Does he have super powers? Did he train in some secret gov program? I understand he had Matt's suit, but Matt should have kicked Dex's butt in this rendition of Daredevil v Bullseye. The writers should have done a better job with Dex's background to explain how he became so skilled in combat and weaponry. Also, Dex goes from a loyal FBI agent to a psychopath literally overnight. Come on!

Boredevil vol 3.6
ThunderKing618 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Things are finally heating up in Hells Kitchen.

Best episode, all thanks to the final battle between Bullseye and Daredevil who got whoop.

They had a reference to Daredevil movie where Daredevil missed his baton thrown by Bullseye killing Elektra's Dad. This time Daredevil saved Foggy aka A might Duck's life. I thought that was cool.

Kingpin is a street Level Loki he knows how to play chess. This was the best episode thanks to the last 10 minutes.

Dialgoue bits needs more energy. It's so dry and a bore.

Again, great episode thanks to the last 10 minutes. That's how to create a villain (MCU take note).

Who Did This? It Was Daredevil! [8.7/10]
panagiotis19932 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
My Reaction / Review for Daredevil Season 3 Episode 6 ''The Devil You Know'' (S3. E6): Episode 5 was good and I gave it a rating of 8/10. Damn, they made Fisk's little home look very nice. Also its nice to see him again wearing his iconic suits. Dex's life looks like its falling apart, I like this character, I just want to see what Fisk wants from him. Fisk got inside Dex's head, really good, I like it. Dex loses his job? Why? Feels so wrong, he did nothing wrong. It could be a good villain origin story though. This could push him over the edge. Wow, Dex wears the Daredevil suit and kills people? That's so cool. Dex has really good fighting skills. Wow he just killed the guy who stabbed Fisk? That sucks! Now they got no evidence at all about Fisk's plan. I think that this city now has the ''new villain'' Fisk wanted! My rating is 8.7/10.
