Ross (3284 KP) rated Marvel's The Defenders - Season 1 in TV
Aug 15, 2019
The series starts well, setting up interactions between each of these characters and sewing the seeds of the plot that was to come. But that plot really turned out to be quite dreadful and clichéd (cabal of powerful rich pantomime baddies looking to take over the world/harness mystical powers in a ... wait for it ... hidden underground lair).
Luke Cage and Daredevil were not enough to rescue this plot or the series itself from Iron Fist's toxicity. The action scenes are now so boring, it really is just a room full of people punching each other. Go back to that iconic corridor action scene in Daredevil where he single-handedly takes out numerous people at pace, and then compare to this, which is him just hitting and being hit repeatedly over the space of a few minutes. While large scale combat scenes like that must be really hard to choreograph, I wish they had showed less of it and focused more on character development and plot.
By the end I was slightly energised for Daredevil series 3, but have opted instead for The Punisher.

David McK (3801 KP) rated Daredevil: Born Again - season 2 in TV
May 26, 2026
Some brutal action scenes pretty much each episode.
But not quite as brutal as the Netflix show.

Apr 21, 2025 (Updated Apr 21, 2025)
But not as brutal as the original Daredevil Netflix-era shows from which it follows on.
Daredevil was, I believe, the first of those Netflix-era shows (followed by Jessica Jones, then Luke Cage, the Punisher, Iron Fist and The Defenders), before they disappeared off that platform following the introduction of Disney+ and seemed to be in hibernation.
Until Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock turned up in "Spider-man: No Way Home" ("I'm a really good lawyer), hinting towards his other persona before also appearing in Disney Plus's "She-Hulk" and having a cameo in "Echo".
Vincent D'Onforia's Kingpin, for his part, appeared in both "Hawkeye" and "Echo".
But this, I believe, is the first time the two of them have shared a screen since the Netflix era, with - here - both seemingly haven given up their old ways until becomes mayor of New York ...
