    At long last, the hero we deserve.

    And at last, after the 6th episode(and filler but enjoyable Ep 5), we get the Daredevil that we have been waiting for.

    The tension, action, and lack of noticeable distracting VFX we got in the pilot are all on show here, and it is amazing.

    The duality of Fisk's descent into darkness, and Matt's return as the hero is beautiful and tragic all at the same time.

    Even though some of the reshoots are still apparent in the final product, the intensity of this episode finally matches the amazing 3 seasons we got on Netflix all those years ago.

    Just amazing, and what I was wishing and hoping for these last few weeks.

    Series at its best

    This episode was easily one of the strongest so far. All the storylines moved forward in a really smooth way-nothing felt forced or out of place. It was super satisfying to see everything come together without feeling rushed.

    What I really liked was how the episode gave equal time to both Matt and Fisk. You get a good look into where they're both at mentally and how their paths are starting to cross again. It feels like the show is building tension the right way, without tipping its hand too soon.

    The pacing was spot-on. It kept things moving, but still gave the big moments room to breathe. And when the action hit, it was intense. Gritty, fast, and exactly what you want from a Daredevil fight scene.

    Overall, this episode felt really well put together-great balance of story, character focus, and action. If the rest of the season keeps this up, we're in for a hell of a ride.

    We are Cooking

    Episode 6 rockets past 5 in every way, that's not a bad thing but it just oozes quality and I love it.

    We start with Fisk being made aware of a serial Ki..er in the city and having upwards of 60 victims. He decides something needs to be done about it while he is also being exposed to the wealth of the city and realising he may need to rely on older powers to have leverage. Matt also finds out about Muze and takes it upon himself to change his approach compared to what we have seen this season and use let's say a more physical presence in his tactics.

    Without going into much more the quality is fantastic and the fight scene in this is amazing!! You can see more "CG" moments but compared to other times you don't feel out of that moment.

    Muse is a nasty guy and I really hope we get much more of him. I read an article that S2 will involve hero team ups, I hope they stick to this style because I can see with more DD it can work perfectly. 8/10.

    Overrated episode

    Hector's niece showing up again is just lazy writing. No teen ever has been that stupid. She is also arrogant and obnoxious. I hope we never see that character again.

    The fight that should be a climax is ruined by a stupid "oh look he disappeared withiut making a sound while nobody noticed after having been garrotted, beaten to an inch of his life and conveniently been left for dead" moment. Things like this is again nothing but lazy, incompetent story development and makes Matt look like an idiot.

    The fight itself is OK, but the antagonist does not have a clear, believable fighting style, looking more like how a person who has never been in a fight thinks fighting is. Disappointing from a show that has excelled in this from its original first season.

    hmm I don't know

    Hmm.. I mean he's back, they're back and seeing some shots of muse(finally), the only notable things that have happened but i think it was just a little forced all these things happening at the same time,the scenes, the fights.. it felt like one. I keep comparing this show to the Netflix one (maybe i shouldn't) and it kina disappoints me in a way.

    And the ALaya niece or some thing, it was just a little clichΓ© i guess and to remind again CGI still feels weird and overwhelming at least something happened and i guess that's goodπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ and i have nothing else to say but it says I have to write more.
