Daredevil (2015) Season 1 Review
Daredevil is the first to what I think will be many to come, Marvel TV shows to be put onto Netflix. That is not a bad thing though, because Daredevil is the best show to come out of the cinematic universe Marvel has created. There are a lot of good things about this first season from the action, the character and the fact that is on Neflix which is a much better format to regular network television.
The action in Daredevil is some of the best I've seen for television and is even able to stand against feature films.What I like is how is doesn't over do it either, every fight scene feels nature and furthers the story along nicely. As for the choreography, its more grounded and downplayed but that just makes it more believable and realistic. It is nice to see something that not so flashy and overdone or is shot with shaky cam.
All characters in the show are memorable and all have something important to the plot. It never feels like a character was wasted and handles the handful of characters well. Personally I do appreciate that the show didn't add a big name actor or someone from the Marvel movies. Because the majority of the cast was unknown to me, it made it easier for me to really see every as character and have them stand on their own.
Now what I also like was how everyone ended up having some sort of arc through out the season. Not one personal is static which is nice to see. Also because this is a introduction to a new superhero, they end up handling the origin story of the character very well. Instead of spending the entire first episode or full episode in general telling the origin, they spread it out throughout the season telling the part of the story that can follow through in the present.
Like I said before this is the first Netflix show by Marvel and unlike the shows that appear on network TV this is already finished by the release of the show. There was 13 episode, and they make of the most out of them by giving everyone more character and depth. I personally would've like it to be only around the 8 - 10 mark, but I can't complain that much for getting more episodes.
Overall, Daredevil is easily the best thing that Marvel has put out, both in movies and television. It the best thing about it is that it stands on its own, and makes enough references for you to know that this is connected to the larger cinematic universe. This is what expands it and makes everything feel a lot larger. This is the best Superhero television show to be released in this new generation of superhero stories and if you haven't checked it out, you should.
