Daredevil: Born Again

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 barely make reviews but I love the original show and was so pumped for this one to come out,I could hardly wait for season 1 to finish so I started watching the episodes as they came out lol! What I'll say is that 1-3 of the episodes throughout the season felt rushed which kind of took out the liking or even being intrigued with those 1-3 episodes,the new characters that we're introduced weren't too bad. I did like how the storyline was going though and loved seeing Karen,Foggy and Matt on the screen again after all this time and I can't wait for season 2(hopefully not as rushed though). This is why I give it a 8 out of 10.

Daredevil born again was spectacular. I llreally liked the fight scenes, when characters talked about what it meant to be a vigilante, I did not mind the Muse story ark. I loved how Fisk quit as Kingpin and Matt Murdock quit as Daredevil, and how they need to go back to their old ways. I loved episode 1,2,3,5,6,8, and 9 were 9-10/10 episodes. I did not mind the side characters. I loved the White Tiger case trial. I love the visuals. Punisher was a treat. The new creative team cooked. There is a super brutal death in episode 9 that has my jaw to the ground. 1,5,8, and 9 were the best but go watch it and you don't need to watch the Netflix show. Also why Daredevil quits was amazing.

'Daredevil: Born Again' had a rocky start to its creation, but it pulled off a rather impressive season to continue the incredible Netflix series. It has its faults and flaws, but it really hit its stride towards the end giving us a solid season overall. Charlie Cox is still an incredible Matt/Daredevil, while Vincent D'Onofrio shows why he is the one and only choice for Kingpin. Season 1 ends with a pretty explosive setup for season 2 that definitely left us wanting more.

In the end, 'Daredevil: Born Again' moved our characters forward from the Netflix series into its own MCU world with heart, drama, action, and some of the most brutal violence we've seen in a Marvel property.

Brad: 8.5 Josh: 8.5 Final: 8.5.

Back after almost a decade, Daredevil: Born Again is a bloody delight and a worthy successor to the Netflix show. While it's not perfect, it certainly sets up a thrilling future for the character.

While the first half of the show was slow in pace with Murdock being a just lawyer and Fisk trying to be a good person and a citizen, the second half brings the action, thrill and signature brutality which made us attached to this show in the first place.

Without any comparison, Born Again might never reach the heights of it's predecessor, but it's still a worthy follow up. Cox remains a magnetic lead, although perhaps less so than D'Onofrio, who is the main reason to watch. An appreciation to the makers for not overdoing this series just to appease larger crowd, like they have been doing recently with their movies and series, Born Again stays honest to the format and delivers a strong, although not perfect, follow-up to an extraordinary superhero series.

My Rating : 8/10.
