Liked episode 2 as well.
Good to see Murdock having a lot of vulnerability and not entirely a badass can't get hurt superhero.
I'm already liking Cox better as this character than Affleck.

I think a lot of it is just because the best writers tend to get hired at the premium cable networks. Basic network is more like the McD's minimum wage crappy ass writers.
Like for example, the best chefs get hired at five star restaurants. They're not flipping burgers at a fast food joint. Five star restaurant = premium cable, fast food = basic network
So premium cable tends to have better writing simply because the writers are better.

Actually the only "cheat" was that they swapped out thugs during the camera pans. Sort of like True Detective where they had a place where they could of done a cut, they had several of those during the pans across the walls, but they went ahead and tried to do a one-take, and succeeded so they didn't ever need to use them. If you google you can find an interview with the fight choreographer about it. They said they had to do 7 or 8 takes. It'd be awesome if they include a behind the scenes of those takes (or at least a couple) as extra's on the Blu-ray release.

Only watched the first episode so far and to be honest, not overly impressed
Doesn't look any different to any of the other 100 procedurals out there

I'm on episode 8 right now; I think the show really gets going around episode 4. Spoilers for 4-8.
I wasn't amazed by the first 2 episodes, but the show really does get better as things unfold.

Maybe it's just me thinking back to his role in Ed Wood, But sometimes I see D'onfrio playing Orson Welles playing Wilson Fisk.
But damn, love the Fisk stuff.

Love the Golden era of AWESOME TV.
Thanks Marvel for putting on a PERFECT DareDevil/Hells Kitchen Show.
I have to say this is the best EVER SuperHero TV (though this is not produced as a TV show), though I really love Flash also (Flash has a different feel to the show, in a good way).

Really? I thought that the ending of ep.3 was pretty stupid and did a whole lot to undermine the credibility of the show's writing. I'm through 5 episodes and that's been the only real complaint I've had, but, man was that bad.

The plot mechanics of it all make perfect sense. It was the execution that was ludicrous. It's a scene written purely to shock the audience, rather than as an organic thing that would actually happen. That's my problem with it.

Just finished the show and I absolutely loved it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Agents of SHIELD and all, but this show put Agents of SHIELD to shame. Marvel really just hit it out of the park and I can't wait to see the rest of the planned Netflix originals.
I was very impressed by both the main cast and the recurring cast. Charlie Cox was great as Murdock/Daredevil; struck just the right balance of bravado and vulnerability. D'Onofrio was perfect as Fisk and I love the direction they went with the character. He's definitely a monster, but they gave him a compelling back-story and purpose so as to not make him a one-dimensional caricature. The chemistry between the main cast was great too. In one short season we were given fully-developed characters that we can identify with and root for and everyone felt very natural in their roles. The supporting cast was equally great and helped round out the show nicely. It's a shame we won't get anymore time with
in future Netflix series, but he had a good run on this one.
The fight choreography in this show was so impressive I forgot I was watching a television show at times. Every time someone was in a fight it felt real. When Murdock was getting pummeled I felt like he was taking each of the hits; when Fisk was getting beaten in the head it felt like he was absorbing that pain. The violence and blood added a level of realism and grit that I think was definitely needed for a show like this that looks at the street level heroism in New York.
And for what it's worth I thought his suit actually looks pretty good there at the end, especially in the dark alleyway. It fits the tone of the show and is somewhat realistic.

Personally, I know he had to get the name somehow, and what follows was use to show how much Fisk was feared but,

Who played Wilson Fisk's dad in Shadows in the Glass? He looked familiar, but I couldn't find the role credited online

You probably recognized him from The Wire or Breakout Kings, but he's been in a lot more than that.

Just finished it. Great stuff, I'm very impressed with how they managed to stick to most of the old stuff that made Daredevil so great and add some new twists to keep things fresh.
I'm hoping DD makes an appearance in the MCU, (mostly with Spider-Man). That would be a perfect fit.
