Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil: Born Again was announced several years ago, shortly after the character's cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since then, this series has undergone a very troubled and very long production. Several episodes of the original show, which had no connection to the Netflix Daredevil beyond a few central actors, were filmed before a massive creative overhaul was ordered. This led to reshoots and revisions, turning the show into a sequel to the Netflix installment.

All this to say, it's clear that Born Again is two shows stitched together. Especially with the first episode, which squeezes probably a good two or three episodes work of plot into one in a desperate attempt to introduce the new elements of the show and refit the original story. This is the show's main problem, along with some of the elements of what would appear to be the original ideas not being very interesting or fitting with the tone of the reshot material. One story is a procedural drama, the other is Daredevil Season 4. Also brought with this new direction are a couple questions, such as how did Kingpin get out of jail after Season 3, and how does the whole Hawkeye/Echo story fit into all this?

Despite this, and some poor use of new characters (the villain Muse in particular), there is still a lot to love. Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Wilson Bethel, Jon Bernthal, and Ayelet Zurer play their characters just as well as ever. Cox and D'Onofrio in particular are extraordinary. Kingpin running for mayor leads to great suspense, as you keep waiting for the moment he'll crack and return to his old ways. When he finally gives in, it results in the single most brutal scene I've ever seen from a Marvel or DC property. I thought I was watching The Boys for a second.

Despite some tonal whiplash, Born Again is without a doubt some of Marvel's best post-Endgame content, and I look forward to Season 2, where a singular vision from the show's creative team will hopefully fix most of Season 1's issues.

I didn't see the original Daredevil series, so at times I wasn't totally sure what was going on or who certain characters were. But even without that background, Born Again held my interest and delivered a decent experience.

The show has its ups and downs-some episodes feel strong and well-paced, others drag or get lost in slower subplots. Still, it's better than a lot of recent Marvel content. It doesn't reach the heights of Deadpool & Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Loki, but it's a noticeable step up from many of the weaker MCU shows.

Overall, it's a solid watch with a darker tone and a more grounded approach. If you're into street-level heroes or just looking for something a little more serious in the Marvel universe, it's worth checking out-even if you're new to the character like I was.

I watched all the season of netflix Daredevil and the punisher show after watching them my expectations are bit high and they delivered a good show but not good as OG netflix series. Daredevil born again have many flaws In which they have to work for next season.

But I am glad that new creative team who made episode 1,8,9 really saved the show from becoming another Marvel's mediocore and they are also making season 2 so I am very excited for next season. After facing many problems while the production of this show they really made a solid thing not good as netflix Daredevil but definitely a very Great tv show by marvel after Loki.

I really loved the performance of Charlie cox and Vincent D'Onifrio. Jon bernthal and wilson bethel really nailed their role and I am glad Deborah Ann woll is back as Karen page But they have to improve many things in upcoming season 2 of Daredevil Born again.

Like CGI, choppy fight scenes with to many cuts, rushed episodes, no character development of side characters , Length of episode is very small and I really felt that they wasted Muse.

But I guess marvel is back with their bangers projects so we can believe in marvel and the new creative team. Season 2 will be fire🔥.

Sorry for bad grammer english is not my primary language.

Historians of the far future looking back at our era will note that streaming media had an early, unstructured, rule-breaking phase which ultimately evolved into what we have today -- old fashioned TV productions "pretending" to be radical and chic. During that first phase, Marvel took big chances and produced some oddball shows. The best of the bunch was Daredevil, and Charlie Cox was one of the best casting decisions in the history of the medium. Having the series rebooted is a miracle. Seriously, call Rome and let them send a team to investigate. Not perfect, perhaps, but still amazing to have that character back, like finding an old friend you thought you would never see again.

I can't tell you how glad I am that Daredevil and The Punisher are back and finally part of the MCU. As a huge fan of Marvel I'm a little biased because I pretty much like everything they put out. My bias aside, Daredevil was universally loved and thought of as being the best of all the Marvel shows. Daredevil: Born Again picks up right where the original left off and that's being an incredible show. It's actually my favorite Marvel show, with The Punisher a close second. All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how loved Daredevil and The Punisher are. Even the critics loved them. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio were born to play Daredevil and Kingpin, as was Jon Bernthal to play The Punisher. Those three are absolutely the best part of the show. Now that they've brought back Daredevil and The Punisher, they need to bring back Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist into the MCU somehow. If you're a Marvel fan then Daredevil: Born Again is a must watch.
