When Netflix shared that they were creating series based on The Defenders many were skeptical. The MCU movies had shown that super hero movies can be great but no show had been able to entertain the masses.

Daredevil took another direction than the MCU and gave us a gritty, dark theme situated in Hell's Kitchen. It gave many something that they were looking for a series clearly made for the adult audience.

Charlie Cox' amazing acting is the cherry on top of the cake. It's rare to see someone act out blindness in such amazing way in the role off Mathew Murdock, but still being able to come off as a believable hero as Daredevil. The chemistry with Deborah Ann Woll the actress that plays Karen Page is immaculate and the interaction with Foggy played by Franklin Nelson takes the edge off when going gets rough.

The fact the the series was shot mostly on RED cameras also shows. Night time scenes are absolutely stunning and the compositions are near perfect.

As a super hero series, fights are also in an important part and they do deliver. You can also see some subtle and not so subtle nods towards some classic fighting scenes from other movies.
