Daredevil enters the
battle swinging – Marvel's Daredevil was released on
Netflix on Friday April 10 and I have to say – what a shame. What
a shame that this show is not on a prime network. I managed to catch
the first episode and it is excellent. Taking place in the same
Avengers Universe, Daredevil manages to remind us that it is
part of that same universe in a very subtle way. There is no name
dropping in this series. The main characters don't know the
Avengers. This small scope series centers on Matt Murdock, who is
taking justice in his own hands as Daredevil. He is a well trained
fighter who happens to be blind but has heightened senses.
The opening episode has a great story
and pace with incredible visuals (I love the color scheme). This
series, all 13 episodes are available on Netflix now, from what I can
tell, is as good as any of the other Marvel series and that is
excellent.
