“With Interest” finally gives us a superhero episode. I said last review that I wanted the pot to boil over, and it basically did. Daredevil locks in, even if the mask hasn’t come on. I hadn’t expected the episode to break the seal being a very trope-heavy, classic superhero scenario, but, hey, it was a ton of fun.
“Sic Semper Systema” is a pure setup episode—and it’s the only reason it suffers. The last two episodes were a very clean arc, the White Tiger arc, and it ended brutally. But it also ended, and the fallout isn’t lingered on as much as I expected. It’s just bringing up the boil.
“The Hollow of His Hand” chronicles one of the most electric courtroom dramas I’ve seen in a long time. This may be because I only tend to watch certain genres and not typically legal thrillers, but the twists and turns, the emotional highs and lows, all contained within one episode, simply floored me.
Perhaps incorrectly, I went into the first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again almost without any prior knowledge. I haven’t seen the original Daredevil show past the first episode or two—and that was years and years ago. I wanted to see if this new series would be understandable. That way, if you, dear reader, are also in the same camp, I can help inform, one way or the other.
It’s our season finale, folks! Who’s ready for “A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen”? Stick is being sheltered in Matt’s apartment away from Elektra AKA the Black Sky and Nobu. Matt is still sure that he can stop them both on his own. He and Elektra bicker on the rooftop about her new role in…
The first scene of “Man in the Box” is pretty chilling even for Daredevil standards. The camera follows Detective Mahoney through the dark basement as his flashlight casts an eerie light on the emaciated children as they sit in small iron cells with tubes leading blood away from their bodies. Mahoney brings the kids to…
In the last episode of Daredevil, the character of Elektra, played by Élodie Yung, was far from a happy addition. In episode six, titled “Regrets Only”, I regret to inform you that she’s still highly unlikable. After tricking Matt into fighting the Yakuza, they agree to work together to drive them out of New York on…
So Elektra shows up at the end of the last episode and now at the beginning of “Kinbaku” we dive into ten years ago where their story starts. Matt met Elektra Natchios at a fancy party a decade ago and the spark was instantaneous. Back in those days Matt was less of a do-gooder and…
Last episode we started to see the beginning cracks in Frank Castle and in episode four, titled “Penny and Dime”, his foundation begins to crumble. A high-ranking and volatile member of the Irish mafia insists that they find and kill the man responsible for the brutal murder of his fellow members. His gang is equally…
On this week’s episode of Marvel’s Daredevil our hero is in peril and, as if we doubted it before, The Punisher means business. He’s wiping out the gangs of Hell’s Kitchen with firepower of an entire SWAT team and now he’s got beef with Matt Murdock. While Murdock struggles with his recovery, it’s Foggy who…
Less than a year ago, the bomb that is Marvel’s Daredevil dropped onto Netflix and now we’re already getting pumped for season two.
