That was pretty much my reaction.

Finally got round to finishing the series and I was very impressed. Fisk was undoubtedly the best thing about it with his excellent acting and great insight into his character. His freak-out scene with the car door remains my favourite moment, fantastic!

I will be very interested to see where the next season takes us. Having not read any of the relevant comics most of the allusions are lost to me so hopefully it will not introduce too many new characters at once. The current DD team of three seems plenty to me. My only wish is that they don't wait too long to have Karen discover Matt's identity and make too much of a big deal out of it. Arrow does this all the time and it is getting a little tiring tbh.

One think I was expecting them to elaborate on was:

Spoiler:

**Breotan**

Next season needs to bring in Bullseye and Electra.

**Jihadin**

I think the Yakuza going to get around to to Murdock next season

**Breotan**

Season two is way too soon for Shadowlands, imo. They need time to establish DD as a hero in his own right and the rise of the Kingpin.

**Bromsy**

Now I just wants me some Iron Fist

**marv335**

I just got hold of it, I'm a DD fan, and I have to say, I'm not hating it, although I'm only one episode in so far.
Mind you, I actually quite liked the DD film too, so my judgement may be questionable on this....

The casting for Foggy is perfect in my opinion, I'm looking forward to finding the time to catch more of it.

There were a couple of pretty unexpected moments that comic fans are going to be polarised on.

Spoiler:

**Sigvatr**

Finished the season. Definitely ranks #3 after Game of Thrones and Californication on our favorite series list. Veryy well-written series, very good characters, the ending was both satisfying but also had enough open ties to interest you in what's coming next.

Definitely loved Wesley's actor. Extremely good actor.

DAMN. The series is so good! One of the best series we've seen for a long time, bar Game of Thrones.

We are about halfway in and just recently watched "Sticks". Not a superb episode, we thought that it was a bit over the top and the taser scene was really stupid.

We LOVE the actor who plays Fisk's right hand, however. Amazing actor.

That whole episode sets up more stuff than it lets on initially.

**marv335**

Just finished the last episode.
As a long time DD fan, I'd say I'm satisfied.
I liked the throwaway reference to Electra, I'd like to see her in season 2, with more from the Hand, and more Stick, who is awesome.
Costume is good, actually looks functional, something you could fight in.
I'm looking forward to S2.

**Sigvatr**

I just hope they remain kinda realistic-ish. Some moments were really borderline...I mean, yes he's a super-human and lots of training, but some fighting stuff was...debatable.

Overall, third-best series we have seen so far!

**angelofvengeance**

Finished the 13th episode last night- brilliant stuff! Honestly didn't expect the guy from Starlight to be that good as Murdock/Daredevil but he really pulled it off IMO.
Not too much of the "Monster of the week" in there but enough of them to keep it interesting. Kingpin seems a little crazier than he his in the comics/90's animated Spider-Man.

I just finished episode 4 and came to post this exact thing. Loving this series.

Although the actor portraying Daredevil also portrayed one of my favorite saints in "There be Dragons", so its weird seeing him kick ass and take names when I remember him most as Josemaría Escrivá.

Plot hook, the guilt Karen is hiding over killing wesley wil eat ta her until she breaks, Matt knows she did something, but seems to be waiting for her to fess up on her own timetable, (The man likely can smell the the powder burns and hear how her heart rate changes when she is feeling wrong about the killing.

Spoilers, man! Some of these folks haven't gotten that far.

Spoiler:

**AduroT**

Eh, the show's been out for several weeks now, and it says spoilers right in the thread title, so if you're worried about that you probably shouldn't read the thread discussing the show.

You will note that, despite the warning of spoilers in the title, nearly everyone has used spoiler tags regardless. It's a matter of etiquette and being the polite thing to do, plus, it only takes a handful of seconds to do.

Looks like we're in for more Night Nurse. And not just in DD Season 2.

**d-usa**

Just finished the season and loved it. Lots of great casting.

Foggy still looks like he just stepped of the set of Mighty Ducks though, he didn't change at all.

**Jihadin**

Foggy to me looks like he's ready to go to a disco club at any times

More Rosario Dawson is never a bad thing.

Frank Castle will appear in season 2 - played by Jon Bernthal. Seems he's going to be a major player.

I thought i was the only one

But yeah I loved Daredevil. Was really surprised by it!

I love all the hidden easter eggs in the show.

**H.B.M.C.**

Finally! T-Shirt Man will join Pajama Man on screen for the first time!

Awesome!

Although hopefully he won't take as long as Murdock to properly suit up, and I'm his case tool up. We need The Punisher, and we need him dropping bodies left, right and centre!

I like the subtle jabs at other heroes

Amazing series. Definitely my second-favorite series after House of Cards. Finally a superhero movie that's more realistic than your average boredom-inducing "PEW PEW SUPERHEROEZ". Darker, grittier. Extremely good series. Netflix just rocks at series. Daredevil, House of Cards - top of the top tier series.

On Thursday night, Daredevil star Charlie Cox was honored at the 19th Annual Helen Keller Achievement Awards held by the American Foundation for the Blind. Cox received an award for his portrayal of blind attorney Matt Murdock who is also the costumed vigilante Daredevil.

During his acceptance speech, Cox had this to say:

Since the show has been released, I’ve had a great number of emails and letters from people in the blind community experiencing degrees of vision loss. I had one particular stranger in London who was understandably stressed by her decreased vision. The woman, he said, was more concerned with losing her independence than losing her vision. I remember thinking that that is actually far away from the truth. Based on the experience that I’ve had on the show and being so amazed by the amount of tools and the support and education … that is not the case.

Marvel’s Daredevil has proven a hit for Netflix as the first of a multi-character deal with Marvel that includes series for Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Defenders. A second season of Daredevil is already underway and will introduce the character of Frank Castle / The Punisher as played by Jon Bernthal.
