After three seasons I can say with a clear conscience that this TV show (even though it is considered by many to be one of the best collaborations between Marvel and Netflix) is not worth more than 3 stars. The atmosphere resembles Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, some action sequences prove that the creators are action movie lovers but overall, the show is very repetitive and the arrival of Punisher and Electra does nothing to salvage that. The first season introduced me into the world of the surprisingly not entirely heroic Daredevil, introduced a decent opponent Fisk but failed to make me connect to the main characters. The whole supernatural feel stems from the fact that Daredevil is blind and this blindness caused his other senses develop to the maximum. Okay, so the premise is pretty good. The second season brings Punisher and Electra back to the game. They opened Daredevil’s eyes a little bit but overall in the story they were pretty useless. The third season returns to the first season and renews fight with Fisk who was Daredevil’s only proper adversary, the show ended more or less in the place where it started. The only thing that left me with some kind of impression was the series of actional sequences, which saved the individual episodes many times. Not only were they very well filmed but they also looked well executed choreography-wise, and a lot of contemporary action movies could envy Daredevil in this respect. The rest, however, was mediocre.

A well-made series. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect. I love the cast, especially Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. As the main villain, he outshines all the other characters and steals the show for himself. Plus, the action scenes are not frantically overdone, the characters go through interesting development and the whole series is surprisingly civil despite being based on a comic book.

Daredevil has fit everything that Marvel lacks on the big screen into thirteen well-built episodes that don’t bore or waste time, because they are driven forward by an influx of famously cast side characters, as well as a great conflict between good and evil...but actually...are we able to talk about something similar in Hell's Kitchen? The villain Fisk is completely at odds with the Marvel film canon, built with a biblical ambivalence of love and hate, tenderness and cruelty, and from the beginning Matt has doubts about how good should be done. The series thus offers viewers two answers to the question of good and evil - one short and the other very long. A very challenging and unpredictable journey leads to all (justified) comic clichés, adorned with great directing and an unusually spectacular conception of man-to-man fights uncommon for television. Sometimes one wonders how people in the world of The Avengers can have such mundane and real problems. Daredevil balances its social level with iconic enlightenment, yet the impression that it is the "rea deal" and not escapism still prevails. All the more intoxicating are the moments when the symbol triumphs over an overly complex fact, where there is no sterility and the two-dimensionality of Iron Man, Captain America and others. For me, the best comic book film since The Dark Knight. No debate about it. Drew Goddard is the man.

An ambitious TV adaptation of a well-known comic book, in the spirit of the dark Batman universe made by Christopher Nolan, but lacking the proper epicness, sophistication of the characters and their motivations and, last but not least, a sufficient dose of drama and realism, which fades away over time, especially with the third series. Good stuff, but there’s no need for further episodes and, unlike Punisher, there’s probably no interest either.

An impressive series, exactly to my taste, it makes my heart rate go up, my hair stand on end, and I grow old. Combining the dark corners of New York full of Russian mafia and corporations with a lawyer is tailor-made for me, and as a bonus there’s lots of blood and decent action, what more could you ask for (Marvel is not afraid of open fractures, heads being ripped off through car doors, or heads being smashed with bowling balls). Charlie Cox is likeable, his voice is chill-inducing and his skills and knowledge are admirable. The series keeps a decent pace throughout, supported by intelligent dialogue and a bleak atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone who is attracted to the following attributes in movies: mafia, drugs, hot chicks, corrupt cops, perfectly choreographed fights, thought-provoking dialogue and musings, trials, investigations, journalism, brutality and dark atmosphere, you won't have anything to complain about. If you don’t watch it you don’t exist.
