If not for any other reason you should watch this show for Vincent D'Onofrios amazing performace as the villain "Wilson Fisk", one of the best writen characters in the Marvel univers! As villainous as he is, he is extremly...human...and you are thorn between loathing and symphaty for him... the most human and complex bad guy i ever seen in a show like this! A Well writen backstory that highlight that "evil" is often No more than a consequences of what a person is subjected to... way more "nuture than nature", and this makes him way more belivable than most antagonist on tv!

The show as a whole is good, both the characters and the plot, and compared to other shows of the same kind it doesnt necessarily depend primarely on the action, the drama part is good enough to stand on its own merit! You could cut away a lot of the action and still have a really good show, not to say that the action part isnt really good too! ...Because it is!
