Daredevil


Over the break, I started watching  a Netflix Original series, Marvel’s Daredevil.  The show is about a blind man, Matt Murdock who is a lawyer during the day and a vigilante by night. He goes around protecting his hometown Hells Kitchen in  New York City with his violent alter ego “Daredevil”.Over his journey as the devil in Hell’s Kitchen, he comes across many, many problems with certain gangs in the city and powerful figures in the crime war. This show has a lot of action almost and has a criminal minds twist on it.  When I first read the description on Netflix, I was curious on how a blind man would be a super crime fighter… and that's what made me want to begin watching it. In my opinion,the show  took a while to get started and sometimes drags out certain situations involving his job as a lawyer.  The Daredevil, played by Charlie Cox, has a lovable way about him but sometimes as a viewer, I disagree with some of the decisions he makes. For instance, when dealing with a major villain, Wilson Fisk, he decides not to choose the best course of action. Overall, I would say the acting on this show is a bit above average and there is always a problem to be solved to keep the show interesting. On the other hand,  it could be a but predictive at times. Such as damsel in distress situations, obviously she is going to be saved and when a bad guy is in a dark alley, something is bound to go wrong. I would give this series a rating of Good Bad due to how well the action keeps you entertained but how the scenes could be redundant at times.

here is a trailer if you are interested in watching...
