Daredevil: The Series

Netflix resurrected a very interesting character in Daredevil. The Afflack movie tanked as hard as any superhero movie and to top it off the guy is blind, so that would seem difficult to pull off. This is a rather gritty, dark drama. There are a lot of brutal fistfights done very well and it brings back Fulton Reed to boot! Charlie Cox does a great job in playing Matt Murdock, the blind attorney/vigilante. The stunts and fight scenes that I'm assuming he does himself are top-notch. Elden Henson, aka FULTON REED, is also good as Murdock's best friend and law partner Foggy Nelson. They retread Jessica from True Blood (Deborah Ann Woll) and throw in Vincent D'Onofrio as the ruthless, yet sophisticated Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. I'm only 2.5 episodes in, but I've been very impressed up to this point. I'm excited to see D'Onofrio's role increase and enjoy his performance more than his limited part in the first couple episodes. Rosario Dawson plays Claire, the friendly nurse who patches up Daredevil just to be nice. It's impressive like most Netflix sponsored shows that I've seen (House of Cards, Orange is the New Black). If you are an action/drama kind of person I recommend giving this one a roll of the dice. Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. It has a real "Seven" feel to it in tone, use of darkness, and grit that I enjoy.
