And I just finished the finale.

HOLY S***!!!!!

This is the best superhero show ever. Absolutely s**ts on Arrow and the Flash and Gotham and whatever else. Agents of SHIELD is one big JOKE compared to this. I'm going to be rewatching it for the rest of the month.

What a ride!

Absolutely dark and gritty. Brutal violence. The fight scenes are so damn realistic. For the first time, a superhero actually gets tired while fighting. I've been waiting my whole life to see a show/movie get realistic with that. Sometimes while he's fighting, you're actually scared he might die. Charlie Cox is an amazing actor and a crazy athlete!

The storytelling is fantastic. The character development is top notch. Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin is just amazing. Soooo many good things with this show. I'd have to watch it all over again to find a flaw to nitpick at.

Henchmen that are usually pieces of cakes for superheroes to beat up on actually give him trouble a lot of times. I could go on and on. Just watch it. Fantastic show.

just watched the first episode and thought it was REALLY boring (no surprise as i don't remember a single pilot i have liked). But according to everyone it gets better so I'm definitely watching it all this weekend.

Dem fight scenes though

by McLewis Sat Apr 11, 2015 7:19 pm

Right in the middle of the series and this is been ridiculously good. I seriously doubted it would be this good, but it has frankly been fantastic.

Already heard a couple of MCU references as well Proud

The dialogue in this show is as tasty as any Drew Goddard production I've seen so far.

Bruh bruhhhhh

I probably would have finished this last night if I was not drunk as f. This is a dream come true, they totally nailed Daredevil. How they got a PG13 rating with this show I don't know. The violence and them fight scenes dayummmmmm. And all the characters are extremely well written. Even the filler villains (the Russians were GOAT) are great. Don't know how I am going to get back to Arrow after this, the fight scenes in this show are imo the best in any superhero medium.

Can't wait for Drew Goddard's Spider-Man. I have complete faith in him after this.

It got a Netflix TV-MA rating, which is a mature rating. So no, not PG-13.

I'm in the same boat with you mate. Not sure how I'm supposed to go back to Arrow after this.

I've only seen the pilot. Expecting it to get much better.

by Freeza Sat Apr 11, 2015 10:19 pm

3 first episodes so great Proud

This show shits on everything superhero related on TV (except Flash).
Already so much more enjoyable than every Marvel movie not from 2014 and IM1

by Jonathan28 Sat Apr 11, 2015 10:20 pm

I'm still tired from my all night binge of this, so I can't type a whole descriptive post out.

I'll just give it a 11/10 and leave it at that.

by McAgger Sun Apr 12, 2015 3:57 am

Up to episode 5.

Gonna bust some myths posted in this thread like 11/10 and being better than any Marvel movie not in 2014.

But it's really good. Better than all superhero tv shows for sure. Can really see the difference between in quality Netflix and CW.

Finished the series today. Excellent. It slowed down a bit at the end but the finale was amazing. Hope we get Bullseye next season. And there were A LOT of setting up for Iron Fist throughout the season.

HOLLLLLLLLY SHITTTTTTTTTT! Two episodes in and HOLLLLLLLY SHITTTTTTT. That fight scene at the end in the hall in episode 2 is literally one of the best I've ever seen. Probably top 3. The camera work and the fighting!!!! :bow:

Fighting is so dayum realistic, you can actually feel the pain of Matt. Brilliant.

Was so tired before I watched this, don't think I can stop now though.

Just finished watching. What a first season :bow:

Btw am I the only one that thought the costume looked good? I thought it looked very functional, which was the point. I saw McLewis didn't really think much of it and neither do some reviewers:

Alan Sepinwall wrote:I'd also like to see some tweaks on the costume going forward. The classic Daredevil costume just may not translate well to live-action — the Affleck movie had a more faithful version that still made him look like he was up for some S&M play — and I appreciate the idea that here it's meant to function both as body armor and a way to make him seem more heroic to the good people of Hell's Kitchen, but it ultimately looks too close to a Batman knock-off costume, when in fact so much of modern Batman has been influenced by Daredevil (because Miller jumped from the latter to the former).

Also I didn't realize there are no plans for a second season at the moment, that would be a shame after such a strong debut.

by El Gunner Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:32 pm

Just finished. What a season :bow:

It had a bit of almost everything
Constructive and good storytelling. No slow/unnecessary moments, every second of every episode's 50-60 mins was used brilliantly.

Spoiler:

Overall a mighty season, and @BC I will be surprised if there's not a second.

Season rating: 9/10

That hall fight scene at the end of episode 2 is still Daredevil || Netflix - Page 2 Mo7zYc9

Finished it now

What a fantastic show. Holy shit. One of my favourites of all time easily. Every episode was good for one reason or another.

The characters were all perfectly written. Even minor ones. Kingpin's representation was nice and spot on. Hope he starts wearing more white suits.

Foggy was a good comic relief kinda character. Karen is weird. Something is off about her. Not that she is a villain obviously.

Spoiler:

finally, Matt Murdock. What a cast they made with him. Perfectly pinned down daredevil. Liked Stick as well.

I really hope Elektra makes it to DareDevil at some point. Highly unlikely but it will be nice.

I agree with BC on the costume. I thought it was good. Not sure about the complaints.

Season 2 is confirmed btw.

Season one rating = 9.1/10

On the college flashbacks Foggy said Matt took Spanish because of that Greek girl. Pretty obvious it's Elektra. I think next season will be Elektra and Bullseye. They avoided bringing them to the first season to differentiate themselves from the Affleck movie and now that they are established as a top show, I expect these iconic characters to appear now.

Karen is weird. Something is off about her. Not that she is a villain obviously.

She seemed very evasive when she was asked where she learnt Spanish. And Ben Urich knew something about her which looked like was credibility destroying. So this leads me to believe that they will do the comic arc of

Yeah hope Elektra and Bullseye make it onto the show as well. Loved them both in the movie.

by McLewis Wed Apr 22, 2015 6:53 pm

It has been officially renewed for Season 2.

All main characters will return.
