I never thought I'd be the guy to complain about TV violence, but this series of shows is far too violent.

This is a great series with a great storyline and could be awesome, but it's let down by the current Netflix trend to make overly violent television programmes.

It's "Daredevil" so might expect that it's going to include some violence, but every one of this series of shows is incredibly and gratuitously violent. I don't know why this is the current fashion for superhero flavoured shows and films, but the dark, dystopian, violent trend is spoiling many shows that could be so much better and reach a wider audience.

For me it just shows a lack of intelligent scriptwriting and a misconception on the producers part that they believe this is what the audience wants. What the audience want is a good story, convincing acting, occasional relevant violence if it's part of the plot and great visuals. Not the level of sickening violence that is prevelent in these shows. Don't get me wrong, I'm used to screen violence, but this new breed of TV show goes way beyond the norm and once upon a time would have either been banned or have been given a R or X rating.

For instance there's one scene in the show where Kingpin smashes a guys head in with a car door... until he's decapitated him. You don't see the guy lose his head, but what you do see and hear is more than enough, it's revolting.
