Fight scenes in this are so incredible and realistic. Well, as realistic as one guy taking out 5 guys can be. Murdoch gets thrashed. Nice to see a superhero that doesn't just wreck shop at will. Into every character.
Really into this so far. |

Jealous jealous jealous.
Might start watching this tomorrow if I get a chance. I'm actually two episodes behind with Agents of SHIELD but am struggling to find time at the moment. |

Netflix can do no wrong at this point. Their original content is as reliably awesome as HBO's.

Holding off until tomorrow afternoon to start this up. Watch a few episodes on my 3DS while on the plane should make the ride go fast.

The fight scene at the end of episode 2 is one of the most impressive oners ive ever seen and that isn't hyperbole. It also might be the most super heroic thing i have ever seen. So human.
This is pretty easily the best of the super hero shows. It isnt even close. Last edited by Destor; 04-11-2015 at 02:24 AM. |

Was not expecting Kingpin to be like this and it is magnificent. Thought he would just be a typical dominant big boss type and he isn't like that at all. He's an anxietal emotional wreck.
and Fignuts, I'm with you on the fight scene at the end of episode 2. Boss as fuck. The coolest thing about the fight scenes is that everybody poses a threat. Murdock is always like one punch away from getting knocked out. So cool so far. |

Yeah five episodes in and loving how Kingpin is portrayed so far. Netflix are such a powerhouse when it comes to TV shows now. Absolute quality in most things they do.
Gonna get to around episode 8 this evening and then finish it off tomorrow. |

Marvel is showing they can do "gritty" and "dark" with this one. Cannot wait for Jessica Jones and David Tennent as the Purple Man. That's gonna be a mind fuck.

Lots of attention to Daredevil lore in this. Can tell the people who made this genuinely love the source material.
Also, just finished watching episode 8, and my god it was one of the best episodes of any tv show I've ever seen. Home fucking run. Also SPOILER: show |

I am surprised. Is this is the first time that Disney has indirectly created content that is TV Mature?

my comic book/Marvel...ness goes about as far as "I quite liked The Avengers". I'm sure I can still watch this and enjoy it but will I be "missing out" on a bunch of little things?

Nope. They mention the avengers in a couple passing comments, but it is not tied to any of the stories at all.
There are lots of little nods to daredevil lore, but you won't miss any key story stuff from it. |

Think of this as the Iron Man 1 of the Marvel Street Universe. There is a lot of world building this show is doing in order to have the other street level shows connect to the main universe. If they keep this up with the other 3, I will be very happy when it all comes together.

Just finished. What a brilliant show.
"Marked out" at the final 10-15 mins. Obviously difficult to compare to all other MCU projects due to the shift in tone, but it may well be the best thing they've put out so far. |

Are all the netflix series supposed to come out before Civil War?
Would make sense, as they'll want to have as many heroes as possible for that movie. Not to mention, the street level heroes who work outside of the government would have to be the reason for the registration act, one would imagine. |

For Iron Fist we've had Steel Serpent, Crane Mother, and the Hand. I'm pretty sure this is gonna rock.

Damn. Posted a big response to that on my phone but my Internet cut out.
In short, dronepool's statement isn't all that ridiculous. Other than the scale between the two, there's not too much a difference in quality, especially since Dark Knight Rises is a bit of a mess and drags the trilogy down as a whole, and Nolan is a bit shit at fight scenes, which DD excelled at. But then I prefer a handful of Marvel's films over even Batman Begins and Dark Knight. I also genuinely enjoy Adam West era Batman over anything else DC has ever done so whatever. |

^ Yes, they're pretty equal.
Dark Knight Rises was meh, not bad- but not all great. All 13 hours or so were good or great. The fight scenes were better The cinematography was great The story was great The build up was great It's on the same level as Batman Begins/TDK |

It's a pretty solid series. I am trying to enjoy it for what it is and not compare it to other superhero works.
@dronepool should've compared it to "The Flash"...jk...jk |

You know what? I take it back, dronepool. I saw a few more episodes and have concluded that this show is definitely comparable to The Dark Knight series.

I have been amazed by the character ever since I picked up "Daredevil and the Marvel Knights" when I was younger. I am so happy with what they have done.
