Daredevil [Netflix Show Starts 4/10/15] - Page 2 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

If I think Arrow is one of the worst shows on TV (watched a couple eps and hated it, felt like I needed to be 12 to enjoy it), is there a chance I'd like this? Also tried the marvel show and think it's awful.

I liked the 1st episode, and I generally hate comic book shows/movies.

Just finished it. Great series.

Spoiler:

Given how good Daredevil is I'm looking forward to the other Marvel/Netflix series even more now.

The second half of the season fell flat for me. I guess I'd say it was solid.

Daredevil is pretty good, definitely of the quality Netflix has established for itself. But four episodes in and I'm stunned by how bored I am. Might not finish the rest. This must be what it's like for House of Cards haters.

I do enjoy the fight scenes. Daredevil has no super powers (ykwim), so when he's in trouble, he has no choice but to beat the **** out of his opponents. Break their bones, smash their faces in. The violence is brutal.

Four episodes in and this show might be better than Gotham.

Hopefully they can keep the writing quality up, the last season of House of Cards was unwatchable after a few episodes.

Its definitely way better than Gotham. I think The Flash has a chance to be better depending on how the season pans out though.

definitely in for this - was a big fan of Arrow S1 and medium fan of S2 but expecting things from Daredevil since it's not network TV

I watched the whole season. It is well cast and sets up nicely for future seasons. Definitely better than SHIELD or Agent Carter. I wonder why they made it to network and this didn't? Maybe too dark for prime time?

I think it's unfair to compare this to Arrow. I like both shows. However, Arrow has been a vehicle to expand the DC universe on TV and spin off new shows.

While Daredevil will likely be part of The Defenders series, he's really all about Hell's Kitchen and little else. There was barely a mention of any other Marvel characters in the whole season.

I wonder what the plans are wrt future seasons of Daredevil. They still have the three other shows to do, plus the Defenders mini-series, so I expect it will be a few years before we get Daredevil S2.

The rest is pretty good

Fulton Reed... Quack! Quack!

In the comics Foggy is similar, kind of a buffoon. I think making him more of a stoner type character would be more realistic.

Watched the whole series and loved it. Interesting twists and sub-plots for future seasons. My only issue has been Vincent D's acting. Seems slightly forced, maybe that's from binge-watching.

I loved how the major love story of the season involved the villain and not the hero, I thought that a was fantastic decision.

Didn't know about the show until I saw this thread. Watched first two episodes last night and am really looking forward to the rest of the season.

Enjoying it so far, 2 eps in, typically not my cup of tea, so for fans of super hero stuff this should be pretty excellent.

This show is unbelievably good. As in I do not believe it. Heh.

It's the best adaptation of a superhero source that I have ever seen, and I don't mean on TV only. And I've only seen the first 3 episodes. The show is better than any of the Nolan Batman flicks, better than any X-Men movies, and anything Marvel has done. I doubt I've even seen the best episodes. Mind blown.
