Daredevil: Born Again

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.

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 watched all the season of netflix Daredevil and the punisher show after watching them my expectations are bit high and they delivered a good show but not good as OG netflix series. Daredevil born again have many flaws In which they have to work for next season.

But I am glad that new creative team who made episode 1,8,9 really saved the show from becoming another Marvel's mediocore and they are also making season 2 so I am very excited for next season. After facing many problems while the production of this show they really made a solid thing not good as netflix Daredevil but definitely a very Great tv show by marvel after Loki.

I really loved the performance of Charlie cox and Vincent D'Onifrio. Jon bernthal and wilson bethel really nailed their role and I am glad Deborah Ann woll is back as Karen page But they have to improve many things in upcoming season 2 of Daredevil Born again.

Like CGI, choppy fight scenes with to many cuts, rushed episodes, no character development of side characters , Length of episode is very small and I really felt that they wasted Muse.

But I guess marvel is back with their bangers projects so we can believe in marvel and the new creative team. Season 2 will be fire🔥.

Sorry for bad grammer english is not my primary language.

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.

From any other company this would just be ok, but I have to grade Disney on a curve because they disappoint so often. D'Onofrio is a treasure as Kingpin. Cox was solid. (Warning a sort of spoiler is coming). I really miss Foggy and could use more of Karen. Bullseye is a wild miss, one of the best comic villains with a true style and they made him bland as hell. Apparently there will be a second season so hopefully the action will pick up some. I also hear we will get more of the Netflix heroes which would be very welcome. As a 66 year old comic fan, it's nice that Disney finally got something right. Keep the classic characters coming and lose Echo, Ironheart, Agatha and Ms. Marvel, all Disney inventions.
