I can't tell you how glad I am that Daredevil and The Punisher are back and finally part of the MCU. As a huge fan of Marvel I'm a little biased because I pretty much like everything they put out. My bias aside, Daredevil was universally loved and thought of as being the best of all the Marvel shows. Daredevil: Born Again picks up right where the original left off and that's being an incredible show. It's actually my favorite Marvel show, with The Punisher a close second. All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how loved Daredevil and The Punisher are. Even the critics loved them. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were born to play Daredevil and Kingpin, as was Jon Bernthal to play The Punisher. Those three are absolutely the best part of the show. Now that they've brought back Daredevil and The Punisher, they need to bring back Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist into the MCU somehow. If you're a Marvel fan then Daredevil: Born Again is a must watch.
I truly wasn't sure what to expect with the new Disney+ series, but so far with this season I'm not disappointed. I thought it was going to be turned into some boring, watered-down, kid-friendly show but I was definitely wrong about that!! Lots of action and pleased to see all the characters returned. Also looking forward to more of The Punisher and the next super villians of the series. Also hoping Karen makes another return at some point. Very happy with the show so far, can't wait for the next season. I honestly don't understand any of the complaints and I'm sorry I finished the new season so quickly!
How great it is to see the original cast of the series back, including Charlie Cox, Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Wilson Bethel, and Ayelet Zurer. One thing I want to highlight is that Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk had already appeared in other recent Marvel series, but they had lost the essence of their characters. This series brings that essence back, and as a fan of the Netflix version, I'm truly grateful - even though their characters were heavily affected by their appearances in other shows.
Before I continue my review, I need to mention that this series was released after many Marvel productions that lost their potential, so its release feels important. I hope it sends a message to everyone in the company - and to the entire film industry.
Continuing the review, it's really hard not to compare this Marvel series to the Netflix one. One thing I liked in this version was the fight scenes - they feel more epic and continue to be brutal. However, I still prefer the old series because the fights there felt more natural and realistic. Despite my preference, I enjoyed the action scenes in this series too - they're not bad at all. But one thing that bothered me a bit was that many of the best fight scenes take place in the dark or in smoke, which can make it harder for the audience to follow what's happening.
As for the screenplay, I felt it was very slow and lacked a clear purpose until the last two episodes. That lack of direction can especially be seen in the Muse arc - he's a great villain, but in my opinion, he was underused. Another thing I really disliked was how long it took to explain the lack of connection between the old and new series. Even by the final episodes, there was no clear explanation of why Poindexter did what he did at the beginning of the series, or how Fisk is free and has become the mayor, after being accused of killing Agent Nadeem in season three.
Despite the short number of episodes, I liked the arc involving the corrupt cops and I'm interested to see how they'll be dealt with in the second season. Still, it felt strange not to see other major heroes involved in such an important storyline - especially Spider-Man.
An honorable mention goes to Hector Ayala, portrayed by Kamar de los Reyes, who sadly passed away. Even though his screen time was limited, his presence was powerful and meaningful to the story. I really liked his character and wanted to see more of him. I especially enjoyed the courtroom scenes and his relationship with Matt, as well as his motivations. Overall, even with short time, he made a big impact, and as fans, we should honor him. May he rest in peace.
So, this series is great, but compared to the original, it still has some areas that could be improved - though I'm not sure if those issues were caused by the reshoots. Still, it's a good series to watch, and I'm definitely looking forward to the second season.

I have been a huge fan of Daredevil ever since the Netflix series. The character's grounded feel, combined with so much depth and drama, made him one of the best comic book characters ever written. Kudos to Charlie Cox for bringing him alive in live action. Born Again takes that action and kicks it up a couple of notches with bigger stakes and much more action.
The best thing about the season is how they pay tribute to old actors and cameos without making it all about with new editing tricks and VFX. Although it is a pleasant edition, it doesn't take you away from the rich street-level story everyone is expecting from Daredevil. Wilson Fisk being mayor is a whole other swing in the plot, which keeps you guessing what happens next. The whole team did an amazing job, and the cliffhanger Gorey ending made me wonder how big of a ride we will have next year! All in all, one of the top 5 superhero shows I have watched!
PROS:
CONS:
RATING: 8/10.

- Short action sequences which I would have loved more off!

I watched all the season of netflix Daredevil and the punisher show after watching them my expectations are bit high and they delivered a good show but not good as OG netflix series. Daredevil born again have many flaws In which they have to work for next season.
But I am glad that new creative team who made episode 1,8,9 really saved the show from becoming another Marvel's mediocore and they are also making season 2 so I am very excited for next season. After facing many problems while the production of this show they really made a solid thing not good as netflix Daredevil but definitely a very Great tv show by marvel after Loki.
I really loved the performance of Charlie cox and Vincent D'Onifrio. Jon bernthal and wilson bethel really nailed their role and I am glad Deborah Ann woll is back as Karen page But they have to improve many things in upcoming season 2 of Daredevil Born again.
Like CGI, choppy fight scenes with to many cuts, rushed episodes, no character development of side characters , Length of episode is very small and I really felt that they wasted Muse.
But I guess marvel is back with their bangers projects so we can believe in marvel and the new creative team. Season 2 will be fire🔥.
