Of course it is horrible what is going on in West Africa right now with all that Ebola and all that, but let's not close our eyes to the horror that we have been dealing with here in the west for a number of years now. An epidemic that is unparalleled. A virus that takes over wildly and makes innocent and benevolent channels structurally cough up and cough up the most terrifying super hero series. Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD, Gotham, Arrow, The Flash and Marvel's Agent Carter, all of them inflicted enormous damage on society as we know it today. Slowly we will have to face the fact that a whole generation of traumatized television viewers will eventually report to a talking doctor in order to give these visual assaults a place in steps - you don't talk about this so easily. I was therefore not immediately impressed when Netflix announced that it was going to put its teeth in not exactly the sexiest superhero of the bunch, Daredevil. Sure, it was going to be better than that 2003 torment with Ben Affleck anyway, but the aforementioned series didn't exactly set a precedent for incessant licking beards. At a young age, little Matthew Murdock saves a man from an oncoming truck full of barrels of poisonous misery. The beep hooray for Mattie of course, but the little sprout will go blind if he gets the stuff in his eyes. Really silly. Do say that. However, the radioactive substance also ensures that the other senses of the boy are developed to the extreme. In Amsterdam West you can smell your friend's cheap onjeklonje that he is getting out the door in Amsterdam East. That work. Eivets Rednow has proven that total darkness does not have to hinder your career at all, so Matt does not give up and studies to become a lawyer. Together with his friend and former fellow student Foggy, he opens his own law firm to make the world a bit better. When Matthew's father is murdered and the legal system has it rejected, he ties a black tea towel to his head and fights for justice as Daredevil during the night hours. Let's just say I'm not exactly a super hero connoisseur. You won't see me strolling around the Dutch edition of Comic Con dressed as Rorschach. Whether Daredevil as a character and story fully honors what sprouted from the creative minds of creators Stan Lee and Bill Everett in the 60s is not entirely clear to me, but what a very nice series this is. As far as I am concerned, Netflix has set the bar where the competition and their superheroes can bite in the future. Saying it is the Dark Knight of the hero series might be a bit too much and perhaps creates a bit too high expectations, but Netflix has managed to add a nice dark and raw edge to a type of series that I usually quite cartoonish and sugar coated. In battle scenes that would be too much even for Jet Li, skulls are now cracked, chines are broken in half like matchsticks and you can hear fists slamming into faces until they hit nothing but soggy mass. Feast. Nothing to complain about the cast. The well-acting Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock) is somewhat overshadowed by his direct opponents and that has proven to be the formula for success for a successful superhero story several times in the past. In the first Batman, everyone mainly talked about Jack Nicholson as The Joker and during the premiere people wondered what Michael Keaton was actually doing on that red carpet. Did he participate? Twenty years later, Christian Bale met the same fate when Heath Ledger ran off with all the applause and Dafoe as Green Goblin was also a hundred times fatter than Maguire in his Spiderman pajamas? I think so. This time the villain is called Wilson Fisk AKA Kingpin and is convincingly portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio, whom we have come to know as the totally crazy Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. With his imposing figure and bald marble, not someone you would want to meet in a remote alley after the sun has set. Besides D'Onofrio we also get that beautiful red from True Blood and Rosario Dawson. Ooh Rosario ... Just her presence is enough to watch thirteen episodes of anything, right? Even if she'd been in Star Jump, I would've watched. Because the different characters are well portrayed in the first episodes, the beginning feels a bit messy and disjointed, but when their stories slowly converge, things quickly fall into place and Daredevil grows into a real page turner.

Unimaginable. Season 3 is even better than 1 and 2! So watch!

That 3rd season is all about Wilson Fisk. Think that's pretty cheap. Season 1 and 2 were really strong. Watched 3 episodes from season 3 and it's not moving forward. Just to fall asleep.

I started this series yesterday, but if you've seen Arrow it is a bit disappointing. But well have only seen 3 episodes.

I thought season 3 was the best season. It remains a shame that it has stopped, especially since Dex really turns into Bullseye at the end. Could have been a nice main villain / big bath for the 4th season .... unfortunately :(

In any case, you shouldn't watch the series in a room where sunlight shines in, you won't see any turd. They filmed almost every scene in a very dark environment.

HBO has Game of Thrones as its figurehead, but Netflix's benchmark will now be Daredevil. What a great series.

I made it to end 4 but now I'm going to stop. What a crappy series. I know you have to take it all with a grain of salt, but this needs a whole truck. What nonsense.

After series 1 I was anxiously waiting for series 2. Because it took a while, I looked again at s1 just before s2. My feeling remained the same, a hero who is a bit anti-hero. (After all, he also kills, even if they are the bad guys) Now there is s2 and what's going on? I have a lot of trouble watching, there are too many identical fight scenes, the story (?) Is not getting along and I must admit that I have already fallen asleep on one episode a few times. I haven't finished watching S2 yet but I hope it will get better because this is soooooooooo bad!

After Agents Of Shield, Flash, Agent Carter, Gotham, Arrow and all those other cringe-worthy superhero series, I assume for the sake of convenience that this one will also be crying. The only bright spot is that it can never be worse than the Fen Baffleck movie version. Then let's cling tightly to that glimmer of hope. Don't let go, Jack. Jack? Jack ?!
