Sic Semper Systema

Seriously, 4 episodes in and still no Daredevil in the flippin Daredevil show. They should have just called this "Hell's Kitchen Law" or "Matt Murdock attorney at Law" because this is a flipping JOKE.

First off, anyone who gave this episode better than a 7 is a shill and probably on Disney's payroll. Everyone who knows what went on behind the scenes knows this show was already in production and was so bad that Jon Bernthal refused to do the show and walked off until they fixed the show.

So from what rumors escaped, the show WAS going to focus on the courtroom, which the writers clearly have NO idea how to write given how the most BASIC of courtroom procedure was ignored in episode 3 where the prosecution was given closing arguments after the Defense. Even a child knows that the Defense always gets the last word in American courts. Sadly I feel that Disney had filmed so much they didn't want to throw it all away and they allowed much of the courtroom insanity to stay in the show. Hopefully things will get better, but right now this show is dying.

Just end my misery with that Heather psychiatrist/therapist. Nothing about her character is important, she is being used as a therapist only for us to know how Wilson and Vanessa will try to mend, or not, their relationship, you can literally replace her with any other doctor, even doctor Banner, and it wouldn't make a difference; she is also used as a romantic interest of Matt, but they do not have a single ounce of chemistry in scene, hell Sofija, the Latvian probation lady, was way more in-tune with Matthew than Heather.

I would rate this episode with a lower score, but there is one powerful scene - that some people were saying that were added after the reshoot, so kudos to them - with a good enough dialogue that helped me to bump up the amount of stars I would give it.

Also, why are we moving so slowly in the story? What is the matter with this pacing?

This was excruciatingly dull. I don't care about the boot-licker Fisk Fanboy. I don't care about Matt's girlfriend, I don't care about his law firm or any of the supporting cast. The couple counseling sessions...why? They're trying to be the Sopranos? The show is SO predictable so far and not compelling in the least.

If the director is trying to make me believe that a small alcohol bottle rolls in the same trajectory as a bullet casing (which doesn't weigh the same at all), he has another thing coming.

The return of you-know-who was underwhelming AF. If someone told me this show was based on a comic book, and I didn't know better, I'd think they were lying.

Episode 4 sees the heartbreak of the loss of the white tiger. Matt is given a probono case in the meantime which is petty misdemeanour. On the side he wants to find out who ended Hector but runs into many answers over and over again, the system is broke and nobody is there for the small guy. Matt visits a familiar face while coming to terms with his loss. Fisk and Vanessa confront their issues while Fisk has a vision for the city he wants to execute.

Yea a decent episode probably the least going on of the 4 so far, the dialogue 1-1 are good, the message is creeping up to pull the devil back out on the streets and I had a feeling we were getting an episode like this and as long as we start out of the gate next week the slower pace here is justified. 7/10.

Mayor Wilson Fisk just wants to get things done such as the dock's development.

In each point he has to deal with bureaucracy, labour unions and other crime syndicates bogging down his plans. Plus bad renditions of We Built This City.

There is still all that marriage counselling to got though as well.

As for Matt Murdock he knows the murder of the White Tiger is just the tip of police corruption in action.

He goes to see Frank Castle, The punisher because of the bullet casing. Someone is aping the Punisher.

Castle chides Matt for putting away his Daredevil persona.

This was a very low key episode. A bit sull apart from the Frank Castle scenes.

Matt takes on the case of habitual criminal Leroy Mancini. The justice system never lets him escape jail and he insists on getting probation. Something his lawyer was never going to be able to deliver.

Matt should had told him, represent yourself and take your chances in front of the judge!
