Creator/executive producer Drew Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods”) serves up a dark, edgy, violent and, at times, gruesome series that has some teeth to it.

Daredevil stands alone as an artful, gritty ensemble drama that could elevate the superhero origin story like HBO’s “True Detective” did for the crime procedural.

It's a comic-book origins tale, but a satisfyingly adult one.

It's dark and, yes, gritty, but the tone fits the character, and it's obvious the series' creators have a real familiarity and affection for their source material.

Daredevil's story does get a bit repetitive at times, but is broken up by an increasingly broad swath of subplots.... Though [show creator] Goddard never lets the cynicism of this world override the joy and wonder of Daredevil, it's clear that he's spoiling for a good fight.

As crime shows go, it’s pretty good. As comic book shows go, it’s a demonstration of how tricky it can be to turn a comic book into a show.... It’s just that too much of the story feels indistinct, like disconnected chunks of a much-better-than-average cop show.

Ultimately it’s very purple in its prose, yearning to be film noir, but--lacking the writing or grit to achieve that--playing more like hokey blood porn.

Great show that functions as a love letter to the Frank Miller comic run, one of the all-time quality books you can read both in general and for Daredevil. The supporting cast is very good and characters get a lot of shared screen time, exploring street level hero stuff in ways we haven't seen and providing some real grit and action like never before in this genre. At the very least, Daredevil is worth checking out.

Tropes, implausibility, and lack of continuity plage this season just like the last. The story is more grounded, but the magic wipe-off beatings that magically heal with a little water, or the massless objects that are tossed with lethal impact even though that breaks a few laws of physics, are just some of the issues. The age old device of breaking up of the band, only to have it come back together to win the day, is quite possibly one of the worst oldest and most over-used story devices in comics. To see it transverse onto the screen in this was was just lazy. Finally, for the "man without fear", Daredevil/Matt certainly shows a lot of it this season. One positive is that the last episode is everything we wanted from the entire season, unfortunately it was only one of thirteen. Far too little for more than a 6.5. For those claiming constant concussions, two story falls onto hard ground, major lacerations healing in a few days, or Fisk knowing exactly when to make a phone call (to the second) is realistic, should really seek the care of a physician.

Its a mixed bag. Sometimes cool and exciting. Sometimes dull and boring. The actors does an ok job but the characters feel bland. If that is down to acting or writing i dont know but my stomach tells me that i think the actors could have done a better job overall.

BORING! This starts of good. So much so it made me go out and buy some Daredevil comics. Four episodes in and it's looking shaky. 7 episodes in I'm bored to tears, but assuming it will pick up by the end - NEWSFLASH it doesn't. Just DULL DULL DULL. Everyone talks about 'that' fight scene in the corridor. Is that the only memorable thing in 10 hours of content? I cant remember because it was all so DULL. When The Kingpin was introduced I was thinking "now here's a great and unique villain". But by the end he was just a boring as everyone else. And Foggy Nelson and his Missus were just irritating as heck. I was really rooting for them two to get killed off by the end.
