I've watched the first 3 episodes so far. Episode 2 really was damn good but it made episode 3 disappointing in comparison.
I hope that the show hasn't peaked early.
I know it's a comic book show but since when does someone go to jail and then have their trial in like a week? The show loses some of its gritty realism when this happens, it took me out of it for the whole episode.
I hope that the show hasn't peaked early.
Some people say it peaks with the fight scene at the end of episode 2, but I think most people are saying it peaks at episode 8 or 10. So you should find some good stuff still ahead.
Yeah leave it to that costume to break your suspension of belief and not a blind guy dodging bullets or throwing batons off walls right into people...
No matter what, the concept of some guy/girl putting on a costume to fight baddies will always be cheesy. If anything the show took itself too seriously early on.
I will admit it felt like I was watching Arrow or Flash in that last episode with some of the dialogue and shots at the end of E13 (not to say it's bad, but that it's really hammy).

Okay, so Daredevil is my favorite comic character of all time, right? But even I sort of wish they had kept the black suit. It fits so much better in the universe they established. The red suit looks silly in real life. I still sort of geeked out when I saw it, but still.
That's ... that's just how I felt. I could buy all the blind dude martial arts stuff the way it was presented, but that costume did indeed take me right out of it. [shrug] I dunno.

I think the only thing that bugged me was how his initial costume makes it clear that he's blind. And then you have this blind lawyer in Hell's Kitchen who's clearly blind and sounds just like the masked guy.
Other than that, though, I really liked this series. I think it helps that I don't know Marvel well and don't really know Daredevil at all (going into it, I knew his general power set, and that's about it). With other shows, sometimes I'm like why isn't Green Arrow doing this? or when does Flash do this?, but with Daredevil, I don't really know anything and have little in terms of expectations.

Woohoo!
And I have to agree that, while I like the look of the suit, it looked out of place in the gritty crime drama world. It's the MCU, but still.
Wasn't just the costume, it was that the show went

THR article on this implies Jessica Jones has been delayed to after Daredevil S2. Error?

Here's the Marvel article:

It says that JJ is on track for later this year still.

Season 2 was a sure thing. I was never worried about that.
Glad to see it as official, though.
Disappointed at the time, it's worse at I get further away from it.

His childhood trauma was a cliche. His socially awkward demeanor was an interesting idea, but unnecessary and informed no real arc. The idea that he was doing these evil things to save the city, but came to realize and accept that he was the evil thing polluting the city was neat, but it was a light switch moment. Nothing they wrote earned that. The confrontation in the finale was bad.
I realize I'm a little out-voted here, but I was hoping for more from this character and D'onofrio. Marvel stays losing in villains IMO. Hopefully Ultron is better or they grow him in Season 2

2016 is most excellent. Wonder why the show runner change
It's in the first episode.
No. His crisis is about whether what he's doing is compatible with his faith.

Nope, nothing to do with that.
Nope. None of the stuff from Avengers is ever even mentioned except in passing. But there is some conflict of faith.

Matt Murdock's main power is Catholicism, guys
DeKnight didn't want to do it anymore.

It only references the events of the Avengers. Beyond that we don't know
Everything MCU wise has been in order airing wise, though, so it's likely before AOU and ahead of everything else
His childhood might of been cliche...but honestly pretty anything they wrote into that spot would've been. I also like how his mannerisms play a big part to how he was raised. So, I really don't understand why you thought it was unnecessary. Even as Kingpin, he was still quiet, withdrawn until he was forced to snap. Just like he was as a kid...until he snapped on his father. It wasn't a light switch moment either...they played it the whole time with a new lady in his life I thought. She made him open up and put out there who he really was...how he didn't have to hide anything. The final confrontation was in fact bad...
Sort of not remotely what DeKnight said, actually.

I'll spare him the indignity of explaining, but ivy works in the biz and isn't really one to speak on something if he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I think all Marvel show are purposely keeping this a bit vague. If they do not hammer down an exact time. it opens doors to let them explore and interact with other stuff in the MCU if needed as it develops in the future.
No need to give an exact date until they need to - and then have a good story/character reason for doing so to make it matter.
I know it's almost like I didn't hear it from a sanitized source!!!!!!!!!!

Super bummed about Wesley though, I felt he could have grown into something akin to Burton from Banshee.
