Daredevil - Netflix series
 

I just got netflix, it's been available (in an albeit somewhat watered down version) in my country for a couple of weeks now.
I remember hearing about this coming out but very little else - now I've noticed it's coming out in just over a week, checked out a trailer...and yeah...I mean doesn't look like is has a mega budget, but *does* look as though it's a little closer to the roots of the comic.
I like that, I can watch a whole NF series as soon as it comes out.

Anyone planning on looking in on this one?
Thoughts?

Not a big fan of superheroes but I read it's gonna be dark and violent so I'm gonna give it a chance.
Also heard the guy wants to make heavy R-Rated Punisher series.
Might depend on the succes of Daredevil.

thanks for sharing!

Started watching today.
I'm at episode 3 or 4. So far, so good.
Acting and casting is ok to good, fighting scenes are decent and well choreographed, some blood (does an open leg fracture counts as gore?), nice pace, not too slow or too fast, not boring,...

If The Punisher series gets the green light and it'll be a similar but R-Rated version of Daredevil, things could be pretty sweet.

Loving it so far.
They nail it SO much more than the movie (which I didn't hate) did.

I also appreciate that the kingpin isn't his "pompous" persona of the 90's spider-man cartoon...and that he seems to be more of a multi layered character.

The guy that plays Murdoch is doing fine, Elden Hensen *really* does well as Foggy Nelson. The chick from True Blood as Karen Page...nah...but she's ok.

Though yeah, it's dark, gritty, it's really handling the early vigilante exploits of the character and the manipulation of the underworld/powerplay by Fisk very VERY well.

Fights and stunt coreography are somewhat better than I'd expected.

I too have heard of the upcoming Punisher series, if this is anything to go by, I'll look out for it with great interest.

Done with first season. Overal way better than I expected.
Only the final costume will take some time to get used to.

I'm really not digging it at all...kinda feels like I'm all alone there though.

4 episodes in so far, and the writing is just distractingly, laughably bad. Charlie Cox is perfect though, and obviously the fight choreo is pretty unreal...shame about everything else.

Daredevil has always been one of my favourite comics though, particularly Ed Brubaker's run...I'm also a big ol' MCU fanboy, and most of Netflix's original content so far has been killer...so I admit I had inflated expectations going in. Hasn't hooked me yet, but I just want to like it so badly that I'll give it another episode or two before I give up outright.

I've been loving it. The characters are all great. The only thing i'm not liking is their portrayal of Kingpin as a giant sad sack. Other then that though, the show is really good.

See, the Kingpin is what he becomes...he has a ways to go yet. I imagine with an increase in power/territory and murdering a bunch of people to facilitate that, getting away with things legally (which he will), will come the more cocky, arrogant attitude that the KINGPIN is known for having.
