Daredevil 2.10
Another gripping confrontation. A favourite character returns, a character dies. Action, genuine character drama, a thrilling cliffhanger. 10/10
Daredevil 2.5
- A story-driven episode, with no action.
- Two love stories, in parallel. Both very different. Both saying a lot about Matthew.
- Great debut from Elodie Yung, her Elektra is complex and real.
- Great final scene.
Daredevil 2.4
- Very impressed with the way the new season is structured. These four episodes told one specific story, but each was distinct and different to the others and moved the story forward by changing the implied status quo a lot. Yet, these drastic changes always seemed natural. Between 2.3 and 2.4 we are being presented with a very different Frank Castle and his relationship with Matt by the time we reach ending here is very different to where it was last week. The distance covered here roughly approximates what I assumed the entire season would look like! Doing it all in a four-episode arc at the start of the season? Very, very confident storytelling indeed.
- Jon Bernthal shone in this episode, it must be said, and the action scenes were brutal.
Daredevil 2.3
The first two-thirds of this are an intense, intelligent debate between the two heroes. Followed in the final third by a stunning fight sequence between DD and a lot of big, angry men. Both Foggy and Karen get scenes in their own subplots. And both of them impress. A lot. 10/10
Daredevil 2.2
Another flawless episode, advancing the story a lot and giving us a terrific fight scene at the end. McCaleb Burnett is great casting. Great use of Foggy in several scenes. 10/10

Daredevil 1.12
- Another episode which builds and builds the tension until the climax gives us the murder of a regular character. Again. Powerful.
- There are many great scenes on the way to this death. Foggi/Marci, Ben/his editor, Ben/Fisk, and Matt/Karen.
Daredevil 1.7
Scott Glenn makes a terrific impact as Stick. Great casting. It’s great to see more of Urich and Karen working together, but the show suffers without Fisk and Claire. And while I enjoyed the Black Sky story it did feel like a departure from the ongoing story arc, which is much more engrossing. 8/10
Doctor Who is Buffy The Vampire Slayer in space. The Last Ship...
- Doctor Who is Buffy The Vampire Slayer in space.
- The Last Ship is 24 without Jack.
- Chicago PD is Baywatch without the beach.
- Daredevil is Banshee in the city.
- Rectify is Friday Night Lights without football.
