As someone who had only been introduced to Daredevil through the 1994 "Spider_man: The Animated Series" and the 2003 movie, I wasn't a fan of the character before watching this series.

Having binged through both Seasons, I can say that this is easily on of my favourite shows of all time! This show doesn't overstay its welcome with a 16 episode format per season. Taking it's time to really delve deep into the ideologies of of the protagonist Matt Murdock, perfectly portrayed by Charlie Cox. As well as diving into these complex, dark themes in a gritty representation of a Hell's kitchen that exists in the same world as the campy "Avengers" the show knows when to transition between its harsh realistic tone, and pull back for lighter comedic moments. Whilst the show itself is very dark in subject matter, the visuals still manage to become bright and colourful. Inspiring uses of lighting and reflections of yellows, purples and reds crashing through windows and doorways that morph and shape the sets into stylized masterpieces.

With a solid cast, each actor really selling a realistic world that involves Superheros and how that effects the everyday person, Season One of Daredevil is a well thought out masterpiece that breaks Marvel's bad streak of weak villains with what I consider to be the best they've had, Wilson Fisk.

However, the shows second season, though featuring some incredible acting and interesting story arcs with the main three characters, Matt, Karen and Foggy (and John Bernthal's perfect "Punisher") does in fact seem to bite off more then it can chew, leading to elements being rushed and the character of Elektra feeling out of place (Despite a great performance).

Daredevil is an incredible show, with interesting, complex characters, a dark tone with colourful visuals, amazing performances and direction with an iconic title sequence.
