You can definitely tell which parts of the show have been filmed by the old creative team as this season feels like watching two different shows. This was meant to be a much longer show but Disney decided to split it up into two seasons instead which is fine but it leaves much to be desired out of season 1. Seeing all our characters return is great and the introduction of some new characters is also handled with grace. My main issue with this series is that it jumps between two creative visions with Episodes 1, 8 and 9 clearly being superior in quality to Episodes 2-7 with the new writing team creating a much more coherent and enjoyable story. I would definitely give this a watch before season 2 inevitably releases, it's not a bad show by any means. It's just that half the show is trying to be a grounded courtroom drama whereas the other half is actually a Daredevil show. Im honestly just glad that Disney realised the mistake they were making and that they brought on a new team to fix the mess that was originally created.

The show feels very different to the Netflix original whilst still retaining the core elements that mattered. It remains equally as dark and gritty with the added use of CGI and a more acrobatic Daredevil. People will complain about his new fighting style or the use of CGI but this is an MCU continuation of the Netflix series. This is a good adaptation/continuation of the previous show and shows that Marvel can accommodate darker characters into its universe. The first episode is extremely emotional and characters are given room to breathe and develop, overall it is a very promising start to the series. This is a Daredevil that will be seen in other Marvel projects so the ultra realistic Netflix version would not fit the Marvel Universe, I think they have modified his character well enough to fit into this world whilst still retaining his main qualities.
