Isle of Joy

Throughout the rest of the season, I couldn't shake the feeling that something crucial was missing. The episodes were good, but they lacked that extra spark to fully captivate me. However, this particular episode completely turned things around. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, genuinely excited to see Matt finally let the devil out. The cinematography was absolutely stunning, enhancing every scene with visual depth and emotion. The storytelling was tight and engaging, with just the right balance of subtlety and clear homage to the original comics. Every nod to the source material felt intentional and respectful, adding layers for longtime fans while remaining accessible to newcomers. This episode reignited my excitement for the series and left me eager to see what's next. If the rest of the season had carried this same level of energy and craftsmanship, it would have been perfection.

This episode had everything.

Tension, Drama, Stakes and an Incredible twist.

Before I talk about the story, the cinematography for this episode was gorgeous. The way they handle aspect ratio, the colours assigned to each character, just chefs kiss.

This episode just starts off on a slow train, and throughout the episode the train just picks up speed until it comes to a crash at the very end.

The series so far to me has been good but never as great as the Netflix series. But man, this episode might be my favourite of the whole series.

I won't spoil the episode, but do me a favour. If you gave up on the Disney+ revival, stick with it until this episode.

10/10.

This was incredible and I did not want it to end. In my opinion, one of the greatest episodes of Marvel television ever. Probably in my top 5 TV episodes of anything. My eyes never left the screen once and my mobile phone has never felt so neglected!

The acting, the direction, the writing, the scripting... All top notch.

Some brutal violence too, but none of it felt gratuitous. A difficult balance, but Benson & Moorhead pulled it off brilliantly.

More expertly nuanced acting from Vincent D'Onofrio. His version of Wilson Fisk is as iconic an antihero as Michael Chicklis as Vic Mackey in The Shield. You can't blink or breathe when he's on the screen.

THIS is what Marvel TV should be. 10/10.

I mean what can I say? This episode was PEAK, all the storylines clashing into one, as someone who watched the entirety of the 3 seasons of the original show and loved it this brought me right back to those same feelings of intensity and drama. This really is the best episode of the season so far and it tops episode 6 which I thought was a 10/10 as well. It felt like a very well drawn out story in the episode, it fell lengthy which is very good, it attacked Fisk and Vanessa in their crime boss/mayoral relationship great, and the writing was so good and the intensifying reveals were so great. Overall great episode and im hoping for more just like this.

Oh man, it's absolutely the best one yet! Daredevil: Born Again Episode 8 is a phenomenal showcase where all the elements of the story converge at their highest peak, creating an experience that's just downright awesome. The themes of conflict, redemption, and chaos intertwine seamlessly, pulling you deeper into the gritty world of Hell's Kitchen with every scene. The staging is nothing short of OMG thrilling-every fight, confrontation, and quiet moment is crafted with such intensity and style that it feels like a cinematic masterpiece. You'll be on the edge of your seat, heart pounding, as the tension builds to unforgettable heights. And the goosebumps? They come in waves, thanks to twists that are both shocking and perfectly set up, leaving you gasping and eager for more. The performances are electric, the direction is razor-sharp, and the whole episode radiates a raw, thrilling energy that reminds you why Daredevil is a standout. It's an episode that doesn't just meet expectations-it exceeds them, delivering pure, unadulterated excitement from start to finish!
