Last year when Daredevil first debuted on Netflix, I started it but didn't finish it. Season two was released a few weeks ago, and I started watching it again. I finally finished season one today.
Daredevil is a series on Netflix about Matt Murdock who's blind. He's a lawyer by day and a crime fighting superhero by night. It makes sense to have a superhero who's blind be a lawyer because justice is blind. Murdock and his partner Foggy are just starting out and have a very small law firm in Hell's Kitchen in New York.
This series came out about a year or two after Marvel got the rights to the character back. It takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the Battle of New York a lot of territory got wiped out and a lot of people want to capitalize on that. The main one is Wilson Fisk also known as the Kingpin. Who's played by Vincent D'Onofrio. Kingpin in my opinion, is one of the best villians in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's such a complex character. One scene he'll be really calm and collected, the next scene he'll get really angry and beat someone to death. There's one episode that deals with his back story. That was one of the highlights of season one for me. It was refreshing to have such a great villain in the MCU because that's something we don't get too often.
This series just felt so real. First of all, Daredevil's costume was not extravagant at all. I could cosplay as Daredevil so easily. The costume looks like something someone would wear in real life. Second of all, the fights are filmed so well, it looks real. In the second episode there's a fight that takes place in a hallway. It was easily the best action sequence in the season one.
Overall Daredevil has a great protagonist, a great villain, a very good supporting cast, and exciting action sequences. I say Daredevil is worth watching. I will review season two after I see it. I did see Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice and I will be posting that review as well soon. Thanks for reading everyone you will hear from me again soon.
