Critic Reviews

With a cast entirely at ease in their characters’ skins, and a darker tone, the series is a breathtaking example of what it means to revisit a known hero while offering him new reasons to fight for justice.

The pressure on “Born Again” was immense. But rather than simply meeting expectations, it surpasses them.

“Daredevil: Born Again” is easily one of the best series the Disney+ has offered and is also one of the best shows of 2025. It journeys into dark spaces with its contemporary power struggle and grazes, but doesn’t surrender to, the morally blurry lines set forth in “The Joker” and “The Batman.

Season 2 is even better. “Born Again” is just as bloody, with big, bone-crunching fights climaxing seven of its eight episodes (the outlier ends in operatic tragedy). But engrossing as all get out.

Born Again’s most important achievement is the canny way it continues everything that worked about the original Daredevil series, with some notable improvements across the board elsewhere.

You should be here for it, season two of ‘Born Again,’ that is, because ‘Daredevil’ season one gives you every captivating reason to watch this worthy resurrection.

That’s why Season 2 works so well: it finally feels like a series that knows exactly what it is, exactly what it wants to say, and exactly how hard it wants to hit. This time, it follows through—blood, guts, fury, and all.

Everyone on this show has come back at the top of their games. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio are particularly good as their characters and slip back into them as if they stopped playing them yesterday, not several years ago.

Frankly, I'm annoyed I have to wait another year for Daredevil: Born Again season 2. That's how good it is. It's clever enough to pull its punches, bold enough to deliver huge blows, and packed with enough "holy sh*t" moments that fans of the original - and fans of good TV - will be delighted with it.

By the end of the season, every Marvel fan will want to immediately see what happens next, and that shows why Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is a success. .... Cements the show as one of the best projects the MCU has released thus far.
