Demolidor: Renascido

Daredevil: Born Again was announced several years ago, shortly after the character's cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since then, this series has undergone a very troubled and very long production. Several episodes of the original show, which had no connection to the Netflix Daredevil beyond a few central actors, were filmed before a massive creative overhaul was ordered. This led to reshoots and revisions, turning the show into a sequel to the Netflix installment.

All this to say, it's clear that Born Again is two shows stitched together. Especially with the first episode, which squeezes probably a good two or three episodes work of plot into one in a desperate attempt to introduce the new elements of the show and refit the original story. This is the show's main problem, along with some of the elements of what would appear to be the original ideas not being very interesting or fitting with the tone of the reshot material. One story is a procedural drama, the other is Daredevil Season 4. Also brought with this new direction are a couple questions, such as how did Kingpin get out of jail after Season 3, and how does the whole Hawkeye/Echo story fit into all this?

Despite this, and some poor use of new characters (the villain Muse in particular), there is still a lot to love. Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Wilson Bethel, Jon Bernthal, and Ayelet Zurer play their characters just as well as ever. Cox and D'Onofrio in particular are extraordinary. Kingpin running for mayor leads to great suspense, as you keep waiting for the moment he'll crack and return to his old ways. When he finally gives in, it results in the single most brutal scene I've ever seen from a Marvel or DC property. I thought I was watching The Boys for a second.

Despite some tonal whiplash, Born Again is without a doubt some of Marvel's best post-Endgame content, and I look forward to Season 2, where a singular vision from the show's creative team will hopefully fix most of Season 1's issues.

I don't even know where to begin in describing how much I loved this show. I've watched it all the way through twice now and can't find anything wrong. The original Netflix Daredevil might be my favorite superhero show of all-time so I was worried this wouldn't love up to that. I'm so glad they decided to bring back the Netflix characters and integrate them in the MCU. They're now bringing Jessica Jones back for the second season too and hopefully Luke Cage and Iron Fist aren't far behind. The second season can't get here fast enough.

I found the reboot to be thankfully like the 4th installment of an already brilliant series. I was worried that Disney were going to decimate what was one of the best Marvel adaptations ever done. But thankfully it is a faithful and enjoyable continuation of Hells Kitchen and it's gritty and dirty scenarios. Found the acting to be just as compelling, Denofrio being again a big part of that enjoyment. His Kingpin is flawless. Also liked the new additions with Lindsey, Daniel, Sheila and Heather all bringing something new and fresh. I really enjoyed seeing Murdock battle his demons and found the multiple sub plots on the various characters to be enthralling. Can't wait for season 5.

I didn't see the original Daredevil series, so at times I wasn't totally sure what was going on or who certain characters were. But even without that background, Born Again held my interest and delivered a decent experience.

The show has its ups and downs-some episodes feel strong and well-paced, others drag or get lost in slower subplots. Still, it's better than a lot of recent Marvel content. It doesn't reach the heights of Deadpool & Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Loki, but it's a noticeable step up from many of the weaker MCU shows.

Overall, it's a solid watch with a darker tone and a more grounded approach. If you're into street-level heroes or just looking for something a little more serious in the Marvel universe, it's worth checking out-even if you're new to the character like I was.

I didn't watch the Netflix series before because it didn't catch my interest. Now I regret that. This show is a continuation of that story, and I only know the main events from those three seasons. I was too busy to watch the old show before this one started. Actually, I couldn't even watch this one on time either. Now I finally finished it, and I really liked it. It was great. The atmosphere was very dark and intense. Many people say the original Netflix series was even better, which makes me more curious now. If I enjoyed this one, I'll probably like the old one too. I think the characters were amazing. I also liked the music, the dark mood, and the fight scenes. Everything felt well made. For me, it's one of the best Marvel shows so far. I'm really looking forward to season two. Some viewers said there wasn't enough action, but I didn't mind that. Watching Matt Murdock deal with his thoughts and emotions, and his decision about becoming Daredevil again, was interesting to me. I enjoyed the drama and the psychology behind it.
