All the Characters seem to have been built up so you care about them and there isn't a lot of "cheesy" stuff going on. I remember someone mentioning in one of the trailers about the nurse saying "you are blind but you see so much" as being cheese but once you see that part and see the context then it makes more sense.
To chime in with that others are saying "D'Onofrio is awesome" is a very correct statement and Charlie Day does extremely well in this show.
My question is how do we see how well the showing is doing? Meaning on normal TV shows you can see the Neilson numbers and how many millions are watching something. Is netflix going to come out and say the numbers on this? I am concerned because I am really getting into the show but have been burned several times by networks taking off something that was interesting.
Netflix knows exactly how many people are watching their shows but they don't ever release the numbers [Reply]
Its pretty good, but I can see why it was released all at once. Some of the pacing on it is a bit slow, so I could really see myself losing interest if I had to wait a week between episodes.
Im guessing this is early, but Wilson Fisk seems incredibly underwhelming to me. Not a weakness on the part of Vince D'Onofrio by any means, but the way that Fisk is being written.
Wilson Fisk in the comics and Videogames is not a guy you cross, ever. He's got people stressing him out, talking shit to him, etc... I guess if this is an origin story, I buy it because he hasn't made it to full on "Kingpin" status yet. Im up to episode 9 of I think 13, so it may pick up.
Im really liking what Ive seen so far, when one episode ends, its tough to not immediately jump to the next one. [Reply]

Great reviews so far. 97% with critics, 98% with audience. This will definitely not be a one and done. Really making me jones for some Iron Fist! [Reply]

Yeah, I would definitely describe him as "young" this season. I think this season was meant as a crucible to forge both Daredevil and Kingpin. Which I think is awesome, as opposed to a more shadowy villain where the primary draw is mystery. I like knowing more about Fisk. I wasn't a big DD fan, but this show is definitely making me adjust that and go grab some TPBs. People keep mentioning Frank Miller's run and Born Again, so I think I'll pick those up.
Curious to hear impressions on Fisk after the full season. [Reply]
Damnit, I read this thread last night and I've been on an all night binge since.
Daredevil has moved into my top 3. These fight scenes make me want to go out and administer a good old fashioned country ass whippin to some random scumbag thats got one coming.:-) [Reply]
In the first episode fight with the dude that was abducting women, why does the dude rack the slide on his pistol the second time? I get some people don't keep a round in the chamber so the first rack of the slide is fair enough, but after firing a good 9 rounds there is not a single reason outside of a reload or malfunction to manipulate the slide.
