As with Luke Cage and Iron Fist before, the demise of "Daredevil", which must been seen as the crown jewel of the Netflix/Marvel partnership gives me the chance to write an appraisal for the three seasons we've received.

By day, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is a principled lawyer who, along with his friend and partner Foggy Nelson (Eldon Hansen) defend the good people of Hell's Kitchen as a public defendant. Once night falls, he takes a more direct approach, heading to the night as "Daredevil" and fighting crime in a more literal sense. Both his divergent lives bring him up against Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) a brutal but intelligent criminal mastermind.

Daredevil is really, for whatever reason, a cut above the other shows that have made up this Netflix shared universe. It might be something to do with the quality of people that were attracted to work on it behind the camera. Stephen D Knight and Drew Goddard initially, though Goddard moved on after the first season. The real star of the show though are whomever the fight co-ordinators are. There is at least one glorious corridor battle in each series, with the one in the first season, where the camera pans up and down a corridor as DD battles various goons crossing in and out of the shot being one of the my most memorable TV sequences of all-time.

It might also just be that the character is better than his Defenders contemporaries. Though still powered, heightened senses related to his blindness, he doesn't have the same invulnerability that make Jessica Jones and Luke Cage's battles more one sided affairs. They also aren't afraid to show the damage that the fighting causes to Matt and the toll it takes on his body. Charlie Cox does an excellent job playing Murdock, so much so I really don't feel like I want to see anyone else take on the role if Disney does decided to reboot the series for their own app.

Though they did get to hit some of the characters key points, his relationships with Elecktra, Frank Castle and Bullseye, it still feels like an opportunity missed here to continue to create some great television.
