Daredevil is a Netflix original series, produced by Marvel and the first of several that would follow individual superheroes in New York City (Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Punisher are the others). In season one, we meet the characters and get the foundation. Matthew Murdock is the son of a murdered boxer; blinded in a chemical accident as a child, he developed 'super senses' and learned to fight. A lawyer by day (with partner Foggy Nelson), he prowls the streets by night as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, bringing justice in a way the law cannot. When Nelson & Murdock take on their first case- involving Karen Page, who would become their secretary- they find themselves sucked into a web of intrigue and murder, all spearheaded by Wilson Fisk. Are they up to the task?
This show came out in 2015, and I've wanted to watch it since then. The 13 episodes of season one were excellent on the whole. I liked the characters, development, plot twists, and near-constant suspense. I didn't care for the occasional graphic violence (this show is rated 'mature' for this reason), but I'm looking forward to season two and three (the latter comes out next week).
Rating: A-
