Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well its time for another review. Now I've been reviewing mostly movies but this time I am reviewing a television show. This time I am reviewing the Netflix original series Daredevil season one. For those of you who have seen the series would know that Netflix is posting season two this Friday. So what could be a better way to get ready for season than a review of season one. The reason I am writing about Daredevil is because I wanted to re-watched the first season before they posted season two and I just finished. So I figured this will be a good way to get other people ready for season two. Now let's get started with the review.
Before I watched Daredevil the first time I didn't know too much about the character but I still wanted to watch the show. And the first thing that attracted me to the show since the very first minute was right away they established the character was blind. I always enjoy blind characters because it shows they have to overcome what a lot of people have to overcome; losing one sense. So right away the character has to face and overcome a normal problem that many people have to go through in real life. I also enjoy watching how well the actor portrays a blind character. And that actor that plays Daredevil Charlie Cox does a good job at pretending that he cannot see. I read online that he does work with someone to help playing blind and make sure his eyes do not do anything that a non blind person(s) eyes would do. I also like the blind aspect because none of the other characters would suspect him being Daredevil. Because no one gives a second thought about someone that cannot see.
I also really enjoyed the acting. I think the actors are better in this series than in the Daredevil movie. I just feel the actors in the series are more believable and have their roles down better. But than the writing in the series is also better than the movie. The story is more interesting and captivating to watch. That is the key to having a good show is making sure the writing id strong and that in return will make the acting strong. And the filmmakers of Daredevil did a good job making sure they had a good story thus making the actors able to perform to the best of their ability. One thing to note is that the story is rather dark, but it makes sense because Daredevil is one of the darker heroes. Another thing to point out is that if you think about in the story they created the hero and villain are trying to do the same thing for the city in which they both live. However, they are just on opposite sides of how to make the city a better place thus putting them against one another. Now that's a good story!
Another thing that I enjoyed about the series is that he is never directly called Daredevil nor is he in the Daredevil costumes until the very last episode. Because you know he is Daredevil, you don't need a different character saying the name every episode. And not seeing in the costume til the end make the build up seeing the costume that much sweeter. Like the hero they do the same with the villain as they never address him as Kingpin, they only ever call him Wilson Fisk. Again you he is Kingpin, you don't need it address every episode. Bottom line Daredevil is just a fun series to watch.
Well I hope this review has gotten you excited to watch season two what they posted it tomorrow. Or even to watch or re-watch season one. Until next time!
