“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.

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.

Cox remains a magnetic lead, although perhaps less so than D’Onofrio who, for all the points discussed here, is the main reason to watch.

Daredevil: Born Again is a bloody delight and a worthy successor to the Netflix show. While it’s not perfect, it certainly sets up a thrilling future for the character.

The show is at its most potent when Murdock is very visibly struggling to solve a problem the right way when the easy one — being Daredevil — is right there. Its commitment to brutal action remains intact, with intricate fights that feel like genuine life-or-death struggles. But Born Again definitely loses something as it strays from the ethical dilemmas of its more episodic first half, and indulges in the catharsis of a more action-packed second half.

"Born Again" can't find that greatness. In the producers' desire to replicate something beloved they have ended up plagiarizing themselves: Too much of "Born Again" feels like something we've already seen.

Born Again gives you enough blood, sweat, and tears in its opening episode to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we’re so back. But it doesn’t take long for the promising revival to crumble once more into another incoherent mess of IP management.

Season 1 contains plenty of action despite Daredevil’s limited screen time. The show features many legal-focused storylines as well as interesting guest appearances, such as Punisher.Unfortunately, the supporting characters are not very memorable. The overall tone is dark and brutal by MCU standards, which may appeal to older viewers and fans looking for a more violent superhero series.

Firstly, every returning actor from the original Netflix series continues to be phenomenal. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio deliver amazing performances as Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively. It's like they never left the roles. Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and Wilson Bethel all return to their characters and are as great as ever. Special mention to Wilson Bethel, who delivers an even more unhinged and menacing performance as Bullseye. Ayelet Zurer was thankfully allowed to return as Vanessa, and she has excellent chemistry with Vincent, even though the plot explores tension between their characters. In terms of the new cast, most do a good job in the roles they’re given—even if some roles are quite limited. Kamar de los Reyes as Hector Ayala is the biggest standout. He does a terrific job in a short amount of time, making the audience truly root for his character while revealing emotional depth. It's unfortunate he passed away before the show aired—he was truly **** cinematography in Born Again is very cinematic and significantly improved over the Netflix series. It’s clear the show was given a larger budget, and it’s used effectively. Certain scenes are shot like they're straight out of a movie. The way the aspect ratio changes when Daredevil starts using his powers was a very creative touch. The use of lighting to illustrate contrast—like red with Daredevil and blue with Bullseye—is lovely to see. There are also more licensed songs used, which might normally feel out of place, but here, they work well to enhance the emotional weight of the scenes. On that note, The Newton Brothers, the new composers, do a great job capturing the tone of Daredevil. Their remake of the classic Daredevil theme is extremely well done—I especially liked how they made it more melancholy compared to the heroic tone of the **** terms of story, the idea of Daredevil putting down the suit could’ve felt repetitive—since he kind of did that at the end of Season 2 and came back in Defenders. However, it’s handled much better here and ends up being more compelling than it was in Defenders. Kingpin’s decision to become mayor and supposedly a better man was also an interesting take, and I enjoyed seeing the new struggles he faces. Episode 1 and the final two episodes—clearly part of the new creative overhaul by Dario Scardapane—are easily the best of the season. These episodes truly capture the tone of the Netflix series and show us that Daredevil is back. As for episodes from the original vision, Episodes 2 and 3 are particular highlights. One issue I had with the Netflix series was the lack of focus on Matt Murdock as a lawyer. These two episodes finally give us that, and the court case ends up being one of the most engaging story arcs.Unfortunately, some of the middle episodes from the original vision don’t quite match the quality of the rest of the season or the Netflix series. The pacing can feel slow, and the tone leans too light-hearted at times. A fair number of these episodes lack action, and when action scenes do appear, they’re often choppily edited. Episode 5 especially feels disconnected from the rest of the story and contains some of the weakest dialogue of the season. One new villain I was looking forward to was Muse, an incredibly creepy and unsettling character in the comics. While he shows promise and has creepy moments in the show, he ends up being a wasted character who doesn’t come close to his comic book counterpart.Some CG is used to make Daredevil more agile—closer to his comic depiction—which I appreciate, but it’s noticeably rough. The use of green screen during rooftop scenes is also disappointing, especially compared to the Netflix series, which often filmed on actual rooftops. Episode 1, while great overall, includes a very odd CG smoke scene that feels out of place. My biggest gripe with Born Again is the new supporting characters. While Karen and Foggy thankfully return thanks to the creative overhaul, their roles are significantly smaller. Matt ends up with new supporting characters like Cherry and Kirsten, but they’re nowhere near as compelling. There’s little to no exploration of these characters or their dynamics with Matt, and they play very minimal roles in the story. Hopefully, Season 2 will develop them more, because right now, they’re just… there.Overall, Born Again ended up being way better than I expected. Considering all the behind-the-scenes drama, the fact that it turned out as good as it did is miraculous! Season 1 does feel like a 9-episode prologue for Season 2, but it does a great job of getting me hyped for what’s to come. With Dario Scardapane in charge from the start of Season 2, instead of taking over mid-season like this time, I think there's a lot of potential going forward. Daredevil might be in the right hands after all.

A few plot lines feel a little undercooked at times, but overall, Born Again is a satisfying return for Marvel’s Daredevil.

Daredevil: Born Again largely recreates the tone and structure of the original Netflix series. While the pacing drags at times and the action takes a noticeable backseat, it still marks a promising start for Marvel’s first real attempt to integrate Daredevil into the MCU.

Acabaram com o Demolidor. Produção porca e o roteiro é tão ruim que parece que foi feito por uma **** ****
