Holy fuck, episode 4. And that's why Netflix shows are so awesome.

I don't think it needs to be spoiler tagged. It doesn't look like he suffers from any particular condition as a kid. I think when you see Fisk in meetings that's him gesturing and trying to live up to this larger than life persona. Being a man as it were.
I don't think Fisk has anything in particular.
Throw it all together and you get the Man who believes he is doing good at any cost until he see's himself for who he really is. The Monologue in the last episode in the Truck gives a good insight
I think he was just the loser fat kid that had an exceptionally assholish father. When he wasn't beating him he was finding other ways to hurt him. Being called a pussy and less then a man and needing to decide if he wants to be a man etc
So Wilson grew up a disturbed individual. He achieved power and in doing so was forced to hide himself even more to the point he didn't even go out much.

Okay. Ep 7 question about Stick's motives (which are obviously a lead-in for season two).
Were they implying the Black Sky kid was an Inhuman?
No.
The Hand has many mystic weapons, and Nobu called it "the bringer of shadows" or whatever. It's more likely a demonspawn of some sort than anything to do with Inhumans.
On a side note, it was pretty funny that the cargo crate they were unloading in the episode was labeled Asano Robotics in Japanese. The easter eggs in the show are pretty good!

I think it's pretty important for setting the tone for places the show will eventually go to in the next season. Better to do it now when everything is being established, than for it to suddenly come up later on. Since the 80s Daredevil has had a mystic element to it, so if they're going to do it at all, they have to acknowledge it.

Yes, I definitely think so. Add in
her kung-fu palm smackdown
Luke Cage or JJ
K'un L'un and Iron Fist
I've watched the first 4 episodes. I felt like the acting was a little iffy in the first episode, but since then I haven't had many problems with it. Either it got better or I got used to it.
The show's great though. So far it's easily my favorite thing Marvel's done (yeah, I prefer gritty superhero stuff over the more fantastical shit like Avengers). The action's really good; reminded me a bit of movies like The Raid at times, which is pretty fantastic for a TV series. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

All I know is that when my friends and I were watching the flips and shit we said to each other "this is much better than Roy flips in Arrow". I feel that the flips in here have a use in the context of the battle and his training.
I didn't expect it to be anything like the Avengers after watching the other Marvel TV shows.

After episode one, all of the "LOL MARVEL SHOW" bullshit is cast aside.
It feels much more like a origin story of Fisk and Both Daredevi, I'm hoping he becomes more menacing when he becomes "Kingpin"

Really? I think he's the only bad thing about the show. I'm not buying him at all.
Just finished episode 8. He's really dragging the show down, in my opinion.

Man, this show is amazing. I'm up to episode 11 now. While I wouldn't put the fights above The Winter Soldier's, they are pretty damn good. As I don't have much experience with the comics it's interesting to see the differences in character personalities and backstories from say, the old movie or the Spidey cartoon episodes featuring DD.

People honestly think Fisk is a poor character?

So which episode does he get his suit? Netflix spoiled it with the banner, now I'm waiting to see it in action.
Daredevil is fucking ridiculous. Like goddamn. He beats the the SHIT out of these dudes. So awesome. I'm not sure why he can't, like, call the police when he
, but whatever. Superhero. It's just a little weirder since this seems to be more grounded than other MCU stuff.
gets the addresss to the Russian hideout, or when he finds the location of the kidnapped girls

Love how in episode 5
Karen is frustrated with the new office equiment and Foggy says it's because the machines are taking over.
If you only knew, Foggy. If you only knew.

It's the nature of the comic series. And because it takes itself so seriously (eyerollingly so to some people) is why it's one of the best comic book adaptations imo
The ben ulrich/Karen plot reallly drags tho I gotta admit. Whenever the focus veers away from Matt or Fisk the show gets less interesting. The second season should work on making the rest of the cast more intriguing.
Sorry, only just finished episode 2.

Wow. So, the entire final 30 minutes of the finale are shot, lit, edited, written, and scored just like the climax of one of their films. The transition is very, very obvious, too. It screws with the pacing a bit, but then evens out.
But, of course, there's the rather ridiculously cheesy final few minutes.

You know what I love about the reaction to DD? It's everything nerds and critics like Devin from BA were saying they never wanted from the MCU. It's pretty much The Wire meets Batman Begins and it's fucking amazing because of that mix.

Just finished watching it. Fantastic show, loved it the entire way through.
Ending of episode 11 was some crazy shit.

No doubt. Kind of showing all those fools that being "gritty", a buzzword used as criticism, can actually be pretty good

No offense, but some of you are being ridiculous.

I think the actor is not convincing. Character is fine. Though the way everyone treats him makes me think he should be much stronger at this point, rather than the meek man we've got. I'm only at episode 9, though.

Go back a few years ago and look at how gritty was a negative criticism and was usually used as a way to say not bright and colorful like the comics.
