It's on ABC, do you really expect anything better from ABC? I'm surprised they didn't add Muppets to the show.

I don't like all the made for tv characters on shield, I understand they can't use AAA heroes but there is enough minor characters to use. Agent Carter was enjoyable.

Whoever did the 5.1 audio mix for this mixed it way too hot for the home audience. I think they set the audio levels for the theater because every channel is waaaay too loud. I find myself constantly adjusting the volume.

This is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I started thinking I was going to watch one or two, and the next thing I know I watched 6!

he has super healing powers? next day after a beating, all fine.

No he wasn't all fine. He was still hurt and in the process of healing. They even showed him fighting in ep 11 where Daredevil had clear signs he was weaker than usual because of his injuries.

Got through 4 episodes, and enjoying ti so far. Don't love it, but it's very solid. Not a huge fan of the casting, outside of D'Onofrio and Rosario Dawson--HOLY SHIT WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TELL ME ROSARIO DAWSON WAS IN THIS? Love that lady.

Starting to like Murdoch actor a bit, but still not sold.

started off great but then turned CWish like the Arrow.


Marvel can't seem to just go balls to the wall.

I really wish that they'd cut back on the shaky cam. It's pretty annoying in scenes where people are just talking. I'm only about halfway through, but Kingpin seems so less ruthless. Sure, he might act cruel at times, but he seems so nice in his business dealings.

EDIT:

Gotta disagree about this being "CWish". If it was, during the scene in episode 6
when Murdock asks Claire for help with Vladimir, if this was a CW show, Matt would've not told her who she was helping. She would've then found out later, and been pissed at him for a few episodes.

Shaky cam? I haven't noticed on my tv. I turned all of that fancy 240hz bs on my tv that makes everything look like a soap opera. I love the blurry movements that only 24 fps can give you.

How balls to the wall should they go? I mean the violence in this is off the charts for an episodic formatted show. Do you mean nudity? This is Murica baby where violence gets a thumbs up and sexual content gets a big fat .

Yeah,
Froggy/Matt breakup took way to long to resolve. Also thought the Daredevil suit actually looked much worse then when he just used this black outfit. Way too much going on. They should have just kept it simple like the traditional version of the suit.

I dont think it finished as strong as it could have, but it was still good overall.
