Daredevil: Born Again

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' 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.

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.

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!

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:

• Amazing VFX and Editing.

• Keeping the old with the new!

• Great twists and writing.

CONS:

• Some hints of MCU shows pushed in there which don't bother me that much.

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

RATING: 8/10.
