Damn. Straight.
The gritty. The violence. The idealism. The guilt. Daredevil. Foggy. Karen. Kingpin.
I could not hope for more.
Damn good stuff. I approve.

It is a good show. I am interested to see where season 2 is going to take us.
We started referring to the show as "Kingpin"
Loved it. Really enjoyed the way Fisk was handled. More disturbed than villainous. Well… at least until the end. Vincent D'Onofrio did a great job. Charlie Cox was an awesome Matt Murdock/Daredevil, too.
+Ian Wienert S.2 will be interesting, as so many of the key elements in S.1 have been resolved.
+Marty Shaw Agreed. The casting was all great. Special shout-out, too, Elden Hensen as Foggy, and Vondie Curtis-Hall as Ben Urich. Heck, to Toby Leonard Moore as Wesley, too.
Kingpin here was a bit different, a bit more vulnerable than the comics version, but played beautifully. An interesting portrayal of a man trying to do the right thing for the wrong reasons and in the wrong way. Felt very sympathetic for him, except when he would lose control.
(In some ways, the last half of the final ep played him the most conventional, as a real Kingpin of Crime, complete with mooks.)
Really great show for the grittiness and moral ambiguity of the best of the original. A hard act to follow — and it makes me look very much forward to the other Netflix MCU series. Alas, no release date yet announced for AKA Jessica Jones.
+Greg Stockton It was certainly as much his story as Daredevil's. I'd like to have seen a little more about how he got from Point A to Point B, though.
I made it nine episodes in before it got to be too much. 12 episodes is too many for this one storyline. It feels as if it should have wrapped up six episodes ago and we should have gotten a couple more stories already.
+Scott Randel I'm going to disagree. The slow, steady change in both Murdoch and Fisk's lives, and how they deal with their losses and challenges, ran at a fine pace as far as I'm concerned.
My main dissatisfaction was with pretty much just the last half of the last ep, where things became much more … comic booky, and the psychodrama both men were going through got largely pushed aside.
Still a great show. Dunno if I'd watch it through again, but not regrets at all about watching it once.
"Murdock"
+Scott Randel Well, heck. You are correct.
