By now you’ve had time to binge watch Daredevil on Netflix, the first of four series from their partnership with Marvel. So what did you think?! Leave your thoughts in the comments section below, and talk about Daredevil with the Superhero News community.
Daredevil: What did you think?
-
Hands down, The BEST CBTVS Ever!! I’m only six episodes in but I’ll go ahead and concede the “best” title to it now. It definitely has taken it’s queues from the Brian Michael Bendis run on the character. Each episode is like a mini-movie. Although I absolutely love the turn-around that “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” have taken, I wish all the Marvel TV shows were on Netflix or Cable TV at least.
-
Anyone who’s read Daredevil, knows Brian Michael Bendis’s run is the most hardcore, badass run in comics. Matt was a fucking animal in that run. He took shit from no one and anyone who fucked with him, he went strait to their front and beat the life out of them. I loved when he became the King of Hell’s Kitchen and beat the living shit out 107 Yakuza members like the beast he is.

This is better than anything DC or Marvel has put out on TV and film.
-
Flash is still my #1 comic book TV
-
-
I will say it again it makes Arrow and Flash look even more like the parody porn they are. Charlie Cox is a phenomenal actor.
-
totally, the action scenes, directing and above all acting is miles ahead of arrow. i don’t think i can go ever back to the CW shows, but i stopped watching them weeks ago anyway
-
Quitting the Flash was a mistake on your part.
-
Agreed

I just finished episode 9 and I’ve already come to the conclusion that not only is the show better than every other comic book show on the air including the Flash (which I love) but the show is better than 93% of all comic book movies I’ve seen. The story telling is so cohesive and brilliant do mainly to the 13 hour run time. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen! I ain’t gonna lie, even if I wasn’t a die hard Daredevil fan, I would still say this is not only the greatest comic TV show period but it’s the best comic book related thing period. The first two episodes alone are better than Batman Begins. Arrow? Pshh. Doesn’t even compare.
The show completely went beyond anything I expected. And HOLY F*CK, THE FIGHT SCENES! Each episode gets better and better. I think I agree with everyone that episode 7 was the best so far. Stick was so f*cking awesome. Scott Glenn played him perfectly. And Charlie Cox, Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. You truly are Daredevil.

Still need to finish the second episode but I love it so far!
-
Second episode was awesome. Every episode was awesome!
-
Good to hear!

I Just gotta say…im a big DC COMICS Fan, and i hate, not Marvel but Disney for made comic book movies, cheesy (and for other reasons). That said i have to admit that i am very jealous of this series, is one of the best comic book adaptation of all time hands down!
-
Why did you find marvel movies cheesy ?
-
-
I’ve not seen the series yet, but I think it’s a smart move for Marvel/Disney to branch into TV. Comic Books lend themselves to TV well and phase 3 of the MCU is already so crowded that you just can’t make a franchise out of every character (imo). I’m personally more of a DC fan rather than a Marvel fan and think DC have been doing a good job with their TV products, but am always open to well-made and written CB shows no matter what company they come from. I also think it’s time that DD is done justice. I hope this TV series will put the awful memory of the movie to rest.
-
Oh believe me, it has. I’m episode 10 and I’m saving the rest for later and I can already say that this isn’t your normal show. This is more like an event, the way it’s structured. It’s absolutely brilliant. I can’t say enough about this. Greatest comic book related thing I’ve ever seen
-
-
I saw the whole season and it’s was great. The show is not for kids, it’s really dark and violent.
-
I’ve made it through 5 episodes so far and am really liking it. However, at least as far as I’ve gotten, it hasn’t beaten Arrow season 2. That was one hell of a ride. I’m seeing a lot of reviews for this saying things like, “Has redefined superhero TV shows” and this and that. I don’t really see it. Kind of just feels like another superhero show that’s allowed to get away with more because of Netflix’s creative flexibility. Feels like a Marvel Batman Begins in all honesty.
But I love it, no doubt. The fight scenes are visceral and well choreographed and I like that Murdock is definitely no Bruce Wayne when it comes to endurance. The guy is just “letting his devil out” with what little he’s taught himself in the gym, and it shows when he’s struggling just as hard as the henchmen he wails on to get back on his feet while the next punching bag in line fights to do the same. Though not sure where his parkour skills came from unless that’s just exposition not explained before the series’ starting point. Overall very pleased with it so far and am pleased with the casting of everyone as well, especially Wilson Fisk and also cool to see Ayelet Zurer – the actress that played Kal-El’s mother in Man of Steel – in this too. Will try and finish the season before the weekend’s up!
-
Did you get to episode 7 yet? It explains how he got his skills and how freaking badass Stick is. In the comics, he’s a master of Boxing (Irish boxing, mainly self taught), Ninjutsu, Akiki Jujutsu, Tai Jujutsu, Judo and acrobatics/pokour (taught to him by his ninja master, Stick).
-
Oh ok, gotcha. Not too versed on DD. Continuing to watch it tonight.
-
Episode 6 and 7 were my favorites without a doubt. I love the entire show. I feels like a movie. It’s just so cenimatic with brilliant cohesive structure offered by the 13 episode run time that Netflix offers. This show is amazing and hopefully it’ll show others why Matt Murdock is such an amazing character. I only have 2 episodes left!
-
I agree, the pacing is very well done. I really like the atmosphere to this Hell’s Kitchen as well, with all the yellow lighting and perpetually damp streets and allies. I’ve always been more of a DC guy, but I have a soft spot for Marvel characters such as Daredevil and Punisher because they’re more or less ordinary guys who feel the need to rise up in very real worlds of crime.

I feel like I’m missing sooooo many references because I’m not familiar with the Daredevil world, or even Marvel in general.
But the show is still awesome. They aren’t shoving those references down our throats like they are on “Gotham,” which is a good thing. The story is just speaking for itself.
And honestly, as someone else put it, “Arrow” looks like parody porn compared to this, and I love “Arrow.” But the fight scenes in DD are WAY better as is the feel and aesthetic of the world.
Also, in “Arrow,” I feel there is too much unnecessary drama. That’s been absent from Daredevil so far.
-
Is there any way I can help with the references? I have over 250 Daredevil comics worth of knowledge on my favorite character ;)
-
-
best supehero tv show ever but i wanted someting hinting towards the defenders, like in the end coulson comes out and talkes about the defenders initiativ
-
Took forever just to get to the damn suit. That felt way too anticlimactic. It was good not a big DD fan. But I am now waiting for a Punisher show since it needs to be violent.
-
Finally finished the show and I’m at a loss for words. Wow…just wow. Incredible show that did my favorite character more than Justice. Blew me away
-
Awesome series. Can´t wait for “Daredevil” to come to DVD.
-
THE BEST EVER. And I am thrilled to say the gu who plays KINGPIN. OMG he has such a alluring skill. Actually they all do. But it’s something ABT him that gives the performance more. I watched the entire season yesterday. Great show, and honestly I think I’m a MAJOR FAN NOW. Or I’m gonna start. Any major daredevil fans please guide me on where to start.
-
How can I help. Did you want to get Daredevil comics?
-
-
I’m still on episode 3. One episode a day for me. But so far, so good :)
All i know is the guys from Arrow should take a look at the fight scenes on this show. This 3rd season their fight scenes look way too choreographed and slow and really bad. -
Watched 10 episodes so far!! And its been friggin awesome!! Love the show..
