Hey, thought I should make a thread to discuss the Daredevil show on Netflix. Personally, I really liked it. Great action (quite violent at times), interesting characters, and impressive camera work. Most of the actors are stellar although there was one that really got on my nerves.
Overall, definitely worth checking out. Especially if you're a fan of gritty crime dramas and more realistic superhero movies like Nolan Batman movies. Whole first season's on Netflix for those who're interested.

The really badass hallway scene (episode 4 I think) was recorded in one continous shot.. whoa o.o Episode two to correct you. But yeah, the show somehow got me hooked, and I don't even know that much about daredevil in total.

I'll just be posting all my thoughts about this series on this thread from now on. Episodes 3 and 4 ... good God. The more I watch the series, the more brutal things get. Some of the scenes were just gruesome and I did not expect this show to be as gruesome as it was. A guy's head gets bashed in by a bowling ball, then the guy who done it takes his life by shoving his own head in a spike just to avoid the consequences in giving up Fisk's name, the two Russian brothers used shivs made from a prisoner's bones and even Fisk just smashes one of the brother's head with the car door until it's just cut clean off. Holy Hell.
Speaking of which, it took me a minute, but then I remember the alias Wilson Fisk goes by; Kingpin. Only a matter of time before he and Daredevil meet face-to-face. Episodes 5 and 6 Kingpin is as dangerous as he is strategic. Framing Daredevil for what happened to Vladimir's brother before setting him up to destroy the Russians' entire operation. I thought that only a handful of cops were working for him, not the majority of the department. And I'm a lil surprised at how that Vanessa lady is just going along with it, even after bringing a gun to a dinner date, which Kingpin somehow noticed was in her purse. That lil intimate moment between Murdock and Claire; yup, I saw that one coming. I also gotta give it to Foggy in episode 5. He burned that Marci bitch real bad. "I don't really go to the movies. I like records, though." Oh, my God, that was funny. I really do love the humor Marvel does. For Claire, revenge is a dish best served cold with a side of road flare. Seriously though, Vlad has had a very bad day. He loses his brother, was blown up, beaten, shot, burned and fell through three floors of an abandoned warehouse. Kingpin and Daredevil didn't really meet face-to-face yet, but they did have an interesting "We're not so different, you and I" conversation. Vlad's final words to Daredevil; " The moment you put on the mask, you got into cage with animals. Animals don't stop fighting. Not until one of them is dead." It made me think about the conflict between Batman and Joker; Daredevil follows the same "no killing" rule, yet it still leads to bad consequences and some say that killing men like Kingpin is the only way to really stop them. I'm really excited for when these two clash with each other. Episodes 7 and 8 Well, it was cool to see where Murdock learned all his skills from. It makes sense that his teacher was also blind. Stick is a badass in his own right, but he seems to be giving Murdock nothing but tough love. At least he's given him something new to his arsenal. At first, I thought they were the nunchucks, but not quite. Foggy still continues to surprise me with the way he saved Karen from the thugs Elena described as "the repairmen". And now he's tagging along the investigation with her and Urich on Union Allied. But, what I would really like to know is who the hell is that man Stick was talking to about Murdock and what did he mean by "when the doors open"?
Kingpin's had a rough childhood. His dad is real dick. No wonder he's the way he is. Seeing a reflection of his child self in the mirror covered in blood was disturbing. I can see why he bought that painting from Vanessa. About those two detectives; even though they're corrupted, it was pretty rough to see Hoffman having to kill his partner, Blake. Can't say I'll miss him. And yet, Daredevil is still being framed for it all. Speaking of which, I'm glad that Murdock's included with the investigation with Karen and Foggy, plus he (Daredevil) and Urich seem to get along. Too bad Kingpin publicly spoke out first before Urich could get his report out on him. Bastard was one step ahead of them. Episodes 9 and 10 The previous episode ends with Kingpin getting the upper hand, and now this episode starts off with Daredevil getting his ass kicked by some ninja. And just when things were going well for him. The investigation on Kingpin becomes more and more complicated and now he and Murdock finally meet face-to-face, which turned out to be very unexpected and, not to mention, awkward when he tried to chat with his girlfriend for intel about him. But what happened next felt like a punch to the gut. Elena Cardenas turns up dead after they were all trying so hard to help her keep her home. Goddamnit. The fight with Daredevil and Nobu was intense. And now, he's indirectly killed someone. I wonder how much it'll affect him later on. And then he gets into an unfair fight against Kingpin while still badly wounded. When Foggy walked into Murdock's home and he just fell unconscious, I was all "Don't take off the mask, don't take off the mask," and he did. He saw his best friend's face under the mask. Well, shit. It was rough seeing Foggy and Murdock arguing about his Daredevil double life. Those flashbacks of when they were college roommates was refreshing, but it just the argument between them feel even more tense. I was happy for Urich now that his lady finally woke, right before she greeted him again. It's like whatever is wrong with her has an affect on her mind, her memory. I just feel sad for them. What surprised me was that Karen and Urich paid Kingpin's mother a visit. I did not see that coming. And meanwhile, Kingpin is still making a name of himself to the public. But, what happened at that party he was at was something I also did not see coming. Someone poisoned some of the drinks, including Vanessa's. I'm wondering if maybe that was Leland's doing. Without his girlfriend, Kingpin is bound to lose it. And I really hope Murdock and Foggy make up soon. Episodes 11 and 12 Well, not much happened, expect that I am disappointed in Foggy thinking he needed that bitch Marci, though I do respect how he kept his best friend's secret. Still, I think it would be best if Karen also knew the truth. Speaking of which, I was worried about her when Kingpin's mom called to inform Wesley about her recent visit and then paid Karen a visit herself. I don't know what Wesley was thinking by not tying her up and actually leaving a loaded gun on the table. I thought he'd be smarter by tying up her hands at least, but he made a mistake by thinking she wouldn't actually shoot him and it just costed him his life. This relationship he had with Kingpin; I never liked them for the things they do, but I did admire how much Wesley cared for him and looked out for him like any good friend would. But now that he's gone. Kingpin's stressed enough with Vanessa in a coma and once he finds out his right hand man is dead... Yeah, things are bound to get messy soon. Poor Karen. Her encounter with Wesley has really left a mark on her. Hell, I almost thought that nightmare she had with Kingpin was real. I don't know why she wouldn't tell Urich. And right now, I don't know about Marci. Maybe Foggy can actually redeem her and help her, as he put it, "take back her soul". Still, I hope it wasn't the wrong call. I also really thought how it was cool how Murdock pursuited that car by going roof to roof with all those parkour moves, but I worder how he got his cane back after tossing the thing before he started doing his roof jumping. That old lady, Gao surprised me. One hit and Daredevil went down. I suspected that she was involved with the poisoning, but I didn't think that sarcastic jackass Leland was also involved with it. And now, Ben Urich... Goddamn, I liked that old guy. And Kingpin just comes along and... Jesus. Just when he was about to start spreading the word, too. At least Urich did last noble thing in his final moments; he didn't give up Karen. God, I can't imagine how Doris is gonna react. Episodes 13, season 1 finale Such a roller coaster of emotions, this season finale. Oh my goodness, that funeral. I'm still sad that Ben Urich is dead. And that conversation between Karen and Doris got me a little choked up. It was so tense when Kingpin puts two and two together about the attempt on Vanessa and confronted Leland. He seemed very confident that he was gonna be able to walk free, but the moment he confessed, he sealed his fate. Never liked that sarcastic smartass anyway. What made me feel relieved was that Foggy and Murdock were getting along again, even sitting in the same table with Karen as they were trying to find Hoffman. I was real excited how everything was coming to a head and that one crooked cop was the endgame for both sides. In the end, Daredevil was the one that got him and justice was finally served. Though in the middle of all the arresting, what surprised me was that Urich's editor wasn't also one of Kingpin's cronies, but some lady I don't recognize. It felt good to see Kingpin finally arrested. Although, I wondered if I should worry about what he told Vanessa. As it turned out, I was right to be worried when more of his cronies showed up to free him. But then comes the moment I have been waiting for the entire season; Daredevil finally acquires his superhero red jumpsuit. Hell yes! Looks so much more badass. The final showdown between Daredevil and Kingpin was epic. Vanessa may have gotten away, but I'm more concerned about where Gao is at this point. And I really do wish that they would let Karen in on the whole secret. But hey, season 1 of Daredevil really kicked ass, it was awesome and I can't wait to see what season 2 has in store.

Started with Season 2, and things just got a whole lot more intense. Episode 1 & 2 With Kingpin in custody, the Punisher has now entered the fray. As soon as they said his name, I was like "Ah shit". Certainly explains how he was able to pull off all those shootouts to those gangs. But what I thought was really cool was that Punisher is portrayed by Jon Bernthal. Same guy who portrayed Shane Walsh from The Walking Dead TV series. It was cool to see them go toe-to-toe with each other. Though, that gunshot to the head has somehow seriously affected Daredevil's hearing. It's bad enough that he lost his sight. And I don't know how Foggy managed to get Murdock back to his apartment while still in costume without anyone noticing, but at least his secret is still safe. But, I'm still wishing they'd let Karen in on it, which they should do soon since she is getting more and more suspicious about the scratches and bruises she saw on him. Also, once again, Foggy impresses me with how he told off Reyes in their first encounter. Episode 3 & 4 Holy hell. Episode 3 of Season 2 was intense. From the arguement with Reyes, to Foggy defusing the stand-off in the hospital and then there's Daredevil chained to a roof by the Punisher. That choice that he forced on Daredevil; either he shoots Punisher or Grotto, or Punisher shoots Grotto. God, it was like a choice from Telltales. Daredevil found a third way out by freeing himself, yet it wasn't enough to save Grotto. As he put it, "What kind of choice is that?" And then having to fight his way through an entire gang of bikers down a stairway with a gun and chain strapped to his hands was awesome. It reminded me of how Captain America and Bucky also fought their way down a stairway. That was a pretty brutal start of episode 4 of Season 2 when Finn just stabbed that guy in the eye in a church and dumped a dead guy out of a casket. Now, I'm not religious, but I think that counts for various sins. With the Irish going around shooting up people trying to track down the Punisher, Hell's Kitchen is becoming more and more of a bloodbath. You'd think with a place named like that, When Karen was talking to that guy, George Buck, and he said the name "John Doe", I was thinking, "Where have I heard that name before." This complex friendship Daredevil has with Brett reminds me of Batman and Gordan, especially the way Daredevil vanished without a sound when Brett wasn't looking. Classic. The way the Punisher set up the Irish to get blown up and then escaped after being captured and tortured was badass. Especially when he and Daredevil teamed up briefly. And what happened next... My God, I was not prepared for how emotional it was gonna be. Now I just feel bad for the guy. And I didn't expect Murdock and Karen to have a bit of a intimate moment. I was thinking that would happen between her and Foggy. Wonder how well he's gonna take it? And did Murdock just say Elektra? Oh shit. I heard about how "The Punisher" was also going be a Netflix series soon. That'll be interesting to see. Episode 5 & 6 Well, Elektra is uhh... what's the word? Very manipulative. Quite the intimate first meeting they had a decade ago and now her return seems to make things complicated and a tad bit awkward for Murdock. In other words, horrible timing on her part. It must've been very difficult for him to meet Roscoe again after he gunned down his father. I'd ask how the hell she managed to get his Daredevil outfit, but the answers obvious, isn't it? She knows him. Meanwhile, Karen keeps digging into the other side of The Punisher's story. I often have a hard time understanding what other organizations and companies have to gain in covering up so much stuff. Like, why would they cover up how he had a family before they were killed? At least now I have a better understanding why he killed all those guys from the three different gangs.
That Reyes bitch is starting to be a real pain in the ass. I don't know why Punisher pleaded not guilty when he agreed that he would. This case is really getting more and more complicated. I feel like Foggy is feeling pretty lonely right now. His best friend is living a vigilante double life, his two colleagues are dating and they backed each other up on how to proceed with the case while disagreeing with him. And Murdock is caught in between two important things; He has to be a lawyer for The Punisher but he also has to be Daredevil for whatever's going on with what the Yakuza are doing. He can't be in two places at once. I guess it's all gonna come down to which he chooses is more important. Episode 7 & 8 Elektra may like to tell herself they she's trying to help Murdock, but it seems more like she's trying to help herself to me. Like how she thought by threatening that Dr. Tepper guy, she did him, but instead, his word gets thrown out of the case, making it even more complicated. And now Murdock and Nelson are at odds with each other again with Karen once again caught in the middle. Whatever the Yakuza are planning, I think Daredevil can handle it himself without Elektra getting involved in both halves of his life. I just wanna see this whole "People of New York Vs Frank Castle" (AKA The Punisher) to end on a positive note, for him, and Nelson and Murdock. Though, it would help if Punisher would be less of a hard-ass.
I had a feeling that Stick was gonna return eventually. Though, his timing could've been better. I did find this tale he told about how this war first started interesting, but what really surprised me was that he revealed that Elektra is working for him. I did not expect that. That explains the whole "I know you" BS she kept saying before. And just when it seemed like they actually had a chance to win the case, it goes to shit, much like Murdock's relationship with Foggy and Karen. I don't know how he's gonna patch things up with Foggy (again) and I'm not sure if letting her in on the whole Daredevil secret will make anything better now. Just when I think there may be hope for Elektra yet after telling Stick to leave, she slits some kid's throat after he attacked Murdock. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to make Stick leave. I didn't think Kingpin was gonna be much of a problem anymore since he was locked up, but, once again, it's never that simple since he says gave the Punisher a "message". Is that why he's been so un-coopertaive with Nelson and Murdock? Man, things are just getting more and more dramatic and intense. Episode 9 & 10 I should've known. Even in jail, Kingpin doesn't stop doing business. So, this is why The Punisher hasn't been cooperating with anything Nelson and Murdock and Karen have been asking him to do the whole time? Doesn't seem like it was worth it. I do like how the title of this episode references to the amount of time Punisher would have to speak with Dutton. I really wish that things would get better between Foggy and Murdock soon. And the conspiracy with The Punisher and his family is far from over with Karen still digging further into the truth. I used to not like Ellison at all from the 1st season, but ever since he started helping Karen, I've slowly started liking him more and more. I'm almost surprised that he left Urich's old office untouched. And once Punisher got answers of his own, Kingpin tries to get him killed, but then sets him free after seeing him in acting. Seemed a bit... what's the word, counterintuitive? And now The Punisher is back out into the streets as quickly as he was put away. Two questions from episode 9; what is The Hand doing with those poor people, why do they need that much blood, and how is Nobu still alive?! Last I saw him, he was burned to a crisp. You know, with all the shit I said and thought about Reyes, I didn't exactly wanted her to end up dead, but then, just like that, she's gunned down. To make things worse, not only did she reveal her mistakes, but her last words were "I don't give a shit about my job anymore, I just want to keep my family safe". Fuck. Murdock's meeting with Fisk... Yeah, that could've gone better. Well, at least he wasn't in Daredevil outfit, so doesn't have to make up some BS excuse for the mark he got from that. With all those shootings, I thought maybe it was The Punisher doing all that, but he and Karen almost gunned down as well, that obviously confirmed it wasn't him killing everyone lately. Maybe he's being framed? And what is up with Daniel and those other victims? They looked like they've become hypnotized, like zombies. And is Stick so butt hurt over Elektra not working for him anymore that he sends an assassin after her? At least she got two sais from that encounter. And now Daredevil is about to fight an army of ninjas from The Hand. Shit has gotten real so fast. Episode 11 & 12 I do wish things would be better between Murdock and Claire. It's like, ever since the incident with the Russians in season 1, their relationship has become somewhat broken and tense. I don't know what he's gonna do now that she's quit the hospital, and whatever reason said hospital has for covering up what really happened with The Hand and those five patients, I feel like they're either working for The Hand or The Blacksmith. At least she still helped him the best she could. Meanwhile, tensions are still rising between Murdock and Karen and she gets caught in a gunfight between The Punisher and Blacksmith's men. Figures that Gao would also make a return. I had a feeling she would after Nobu's surprise appearance from the dead. I really hope that Murdock doesn't actually cross over the line to Punisher's side. Who the hell is this "Blacksmith" anyway?
I really don't want this to be the end of Nelson and Murdock. They had a good thing going. Maybe when this whole war thing with the Blacksmith and The Hand is over, they can really give it another shot. With all the surprises that's been happening throughout this show, the surprise in this episode takes the shit cake. Not just the fact that the Coronal was involved with the sting, but that Elektra was "The Black Sky" the entire time. Son of a bitch. You know, the more I try to understand Stick, the less I do. And now that The Punisher found all that hardware the Coronal was hiding, (at least, that's what I assume) all hell is really about to break loose in Hell's Kitchen soon. With just one episode left of Season 2, I am so excited for what is about to happen next. Episode 13, Season 2 finale Gotta love Melvin and his ingenuity. The new weapon he gave Daredevil is so cool. And then there's more of Marvel's humor; "Where's mine?" she says she's already got the sais. Even The Punisher has given himself a bit of an upgrade. The Hand sure weren't fucking since they kidnapped everyone Daredevil saved, including Karen and even that guy Turk. I don't know what Murdock was thinking by saying he would run away with Elektra. But now that she's... well, shit. I can't believe she ended up dead. But hey, this was definitely an epic showdown, which The Punisher nearly missed out on. At least he managed to saved Daredevil and let him throw Nobu off the roof. And then Stick comes in to deal the final blow. Off with his not-so-immortal head. Hopefully this time he stays dead. When his helmet came off in the midst of the fight, I was worried half of the city would see his face, but thank goodness they didn't. Things are definitely not going to be the same anymore. Karen's working for Ellison, Foggy's working in a new lawyer job with Marci, Murdock's still living his double life and The Punisher is still out there doling out his own vigilante justice and Murdock is still living out his double. In the end, I'm glad that he finally told Karen that he is Daredevil, but I wonder how well she is gonna take it. Foggy sure didn't. And is The Hand actually trying to resurrect Elektra? Man, they have no respect for the dead, do they? And there's two more unanswered questions. Like, who the hell is "The Blacksmith"? And what is Kingpin gonna do next now that he's gained control of the prison?

I got myself a Netflix subscription sometime ago and went with Daredevil first, since so many of you recommend it.
Started watching last week, finished S1 now. I won't immediately start S2 - for the simple fact that I don't want to have an overdose of the show - but holy hell, this is actually very good. And it reminded me of Hannibal (TV series) in a way. I dare say it's the best adaptation of the Marvel property out there. (which isn't saying much, since I didn't watch anything else than Avengers 2, Civil War and Doctor Strange)
I'm going to have a break for a while, as I said, but S1 was awesome. And, since summer is coming, I wonder whether I should get myself red sunglasses. They look awesome.

Netflix lists 2 seasons, is S3 coming soon - or at all? Because I think I saw some other shows (Luke Cage IIRC?) on the platform and I don't know whether Netflix differentiates release dates of Marvel shows. And if it's a 13-episode season, then I don't want to hurry with S2 and wait until all episodes of S3 finish airing.

They're more focused on getting out the Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist team up like the Avengers) which should be out in the summer. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are good, those are worth a watch. Iron Fist comes out on the 17th. So Season 3 hasn't really been talked about yet

That reminds me, since Iron Fist premieres next week, I really should start watching Jessica Jones and then Luke Cage soon. Probably by either tomorrow or Monday.
