Just completed watching this took me 4 days but hey. fell just a couple of points below my expectations just due to some negatives.
First being the first half, the 1st couple of fights were
with the show never deviating from its tone tho and there being an abundance of dark alley scenes it started to become a tad redundant. The following episodes after fisk is established is where we start to get more story more character development less fights.This is when the show really gets going in my book.
Speaking of which fisk, d'onofrio was I don't even know. I got it (sometimes) but it wasn't as enjoyable to watch and I don't mean that in a good way. The only times I was sold was when he meets Ben
,daredevil. Sometimes it felt like a train wreck but at the same time I couldn't turn away it was weird.
The cast was great Cox was such a revelation, hated his cocky ass in boardwalk and didn't think he was the right guy but he was the shyt. I knew Curtis hall was bait from his first scene,just being isolated and old was a giveaway that when he gets got it's going to important in some way. Foggy isn't as annoying as he looks he just should be heard but not seen. Going to miss dude from broken arrow, such a typecast but he is the best at it. Stitch or whatever was a great addition, another underrated actor
Loved the cinemahotography/choreography and ambitious attempt. Over all I think they achieved something great, only think I hated was fisk's love storyline. What was the objective? To humanize him? Well if that was the case why did his girl become down with his ways so quickly? Once that happened she became an enabler. It was the only poor story and I hope the actress never returns
