The first in a planned series of shows detailing the Marvel universe, "Daredevil" follows Matt Murdock, attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded in an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses as Daredevil to fight crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. While Murdock's day job requires him to believe in the criminal justice system, his alter ego does not follow suit, leading him to take the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding communities.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast 07/13/2018
interjects a welcome dose of bruised-and-bloodied malice to the sometimes too-cartoony Marvel universe. More promising still, Daredevil is a confident show with a solid foundation on which it can build. Go to Full Review
Allison Shoemaker Consequence 07/13/2018
Daredevil doesn't always pack the intellectual heft of its sister Netflix series Jessica Jones, but it's a finely acted, well-written, appropriately dark series with some truly dazzling fights. Go to Full Review

Charlie Cox simply owns the role of Matt Murdock... He sinks so perfectly into the role that (as much as we might love Ben Affleck) he makes us forget the 2003 film ever existed. Go to Full Review
Anushka Halve Film Companion 12/11/2023
Much of the combat in the sequence is hand-to-hand, lending to its raw, urgent quality... Go to Full Review

bob T @RT89536276 Feb 27 This is a great first season and a great adaptation for daredevil! See more Mate P @matepolcz Feb 15 Daredevil Season 1 is good, but the characters didn't work for me at first. Some of the conflict later on also felt a little forced. Other than that and some acting, it's really good for a TV show. The cinematography is stylish, the action is great and the cast fits well. See more Kuro13 K @KuroKaen Feb 13 Daredevil's first season does more than adapt what many people consider Marvel's BEST superhero. From the very first episode, you feel like you're opening the pages of a comic book. Right off the bat, the series wastes no time telling you who Matt Murdock is and how he is the way he is. You quickly know his struggles as Matt and Daredevil, someone who tries to retain his faith while also giving into his demons. His struggles to maintain his persona as a lawyer as well as a vigilante alongside Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. Foggy feels like one of the best side characters in any superhero media ive ever watched. Being a fun, caring friend while also showing that he too has the strengths of a good lawyer that even rival Matt. And Karen Page's decent into madness and ascent to a badass side character feels so satisfying to watch. Someone who's both tortured by her surroundings, but also understands what it takes to keep going. Even when its hard. 9/10 See more SnEaKy T @basaro_o Feb 8 It’s so good. It starts off slow, but when you’re a couple of episodes in, it just becomes addicting to keep watching. This season manages to keep you on edge and keeps you wondering what else it has in store for you. The hallway fight scene where Murdock goes to save the child from the Russians is one of my favorite scenes, along with when Claire gets kidnapped and Murdock goes to save her. It really highlights the stakes and how much things can go wrong. I really recommend giving it a try. See more Dogcat T @Dadogcat Feb 7 One of, if not my favorite show of all time, and for several reasons. The action is great, between the hallway fight scene, the prison fight scene and many, many more. Not to mention the storytelling and the characters. The very idea of Daredevil and Matt Murdock as a whole is something you just have to see to to truly admire. And Kingpin is a prefect foil for him. Not to mention Bullseye. Af first glance he seems like a very one-dimensional character, a psychopath with really good aim. But the way the show gives his backstory and his misadventures throughout is as compelling as any and every other character here. Karen is not only a good romantic interest for Matt but a great character in her own right, and the same could be said for foggy, just put a B in front of the word romance. I know this is technically a review for season 1 but it’s impossible for me to not gush about everything here, and I didn’t even mention the punisher! Can’t recommend it enough!! See more Turner M. @JDtheGoat Jan 30 Takes a little while to get invested in this, but once it gets going, it doesn’t stop. See more Read all reviews
