Summary
Reviewers say 'Daredevil' is acclaimed for its dark, gritty tone, mature themes, and complex characters, setting it apart from other Marvel productions. The series is praised for exceptional fight choreography, realistic portrayal of a blind vigilante, and strong performances by Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio. Cinematography, character development, and moral ambiguity are highlighted strengths. However, some note issues with pacing, repetitive action scenes, and certain character arcs. Despite these criticisms, the overall reception remains highly positive.

Matt Murdock as a child was blinded by a toxic spill from a crash. He becomes a lawyer fighting for the little guys. In secret, he develops his other senses and becomes the vigilant Daredevil of Hell's Kitchen. Foggy Nelson is his law partner. They defend Karen Page in the first episode and she becomes their office manager. Later, she becomes a journalist. Their main nemesis is master criminal Wilson Fisk known as Kingpin.
It's the first of the Netflix Marvel universe. It's also the best of them. It's a moderately budgeted series geared towards more adult stories. The characters are compelling. The actors really work. It maintains the cartoon action while giving some real world tension to the stories. The first season sets up this pocket universe with a great tone and great start. The second season fades a little. The thirteen episode runs may be a little too long. The third season returns to form as Vincent D'Onofrio takes back the mantle as the head villain. It is as much his story as it is Matt Murdock's story. It does dwell on Dex a little too much as it tries to set up his character. In the end, Dex and Nadeem are not much more than one season wonders and they aren't a draw for the audience. Dex would become another big Daredevil character but the show is canceled before that. With Disney-Marvel starting up its own streaming service, the partnership with Netflix ends after three seasons. It's been a really fun side hustle and this is the best of the them.

As a huge fan of Marvel I'm a little biased because I pretty much like everything they put out. My bias aside, Daredevil is terrific! It's actually my favorite Marvel show (along with The Punisher). If you don't believe me just read through the reviews here and look at the ratings. Even the critics loved this. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were born to play Daredevil and Kingpin. They're easily the best part of the show. This is a show that you'll want to binge as quickly as you can, it's that good. It's too bad that Netflix couldn't renew their contracts with Marvel and they had to stop making the Netflix Marvel shows because every single one of them was great! Now that they're on Disney they can bring these wonderful characters back. They already started to with Daredevil and Kingpin showing up in other shows and they just renewed Daredevil for another season. Now they have to do the same for The Punisher, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. At least bring them back into the MCU somehow. If you're a Marvel fan then this is a must watch!
Save daredevil. Don't let one of the best super hero shows of all time (if not the best) die so soon.
Daredevil doesn't deserve this fate. He is the one who keeps the city safe so the Avengers can save the earth.
Can't believe such masterpiece ends so soon.
The Marvel Netflix Universe was the best thing in Netflix along with ''Jessica Jones'', ''Luke Cage'', ''Iron Fist'', ''The Punisher'' and ''Daredevil'' is my favorite of them. I was always looking forward to see the episodes when I have time after work.
I don't want to tell anything on this trilogy Master-Piece but I'm really sad they cancelled this show but at least it ended with a perfect trilogy of seasons so I suggest you to watch this because Its what I think it is the greatest Marvel adaptation of all time.

I was gutted when Daredevil was cancelled. Easily the best super-hero show on TV. Let's not give up on Red yet. #SaveDaredevil
