DAREDEVIL Season 1; or, Cleaning the Clichés from the Steets of Hell's Kitchen


Oh DAREDEVIL, where do I begin? I'd ask you to show me the way, but then we'd have a blind leading the blind situation.

I suppose the best and most appropriate way to start this review would be by saying I LIKE superheroes. And who doesn't? Superheroes, in whatever form, be it print or digital media, are almost always a fun time, and though that seems a simple analysis, it's the core reason superheroes are dominating the box office right now. Not everybody is looking for the answers to this week's existential crisis neatly packaged into an hour and forty-five minutes of hard stares, subtext, and timely orchestration. Some people just want to have a good time; some people just want to watch chaos from the safety of their couch cushions.
