Daredevil Netflix

With the increase in binge watching series with the advent of Netflix and Hulu (pleading guilty on both counts) the tense watching of serial television week after week is heading out the window.  Even shows that do air every week are often put aside until they come on Netflix so that people can watch the show all at once.  This has caused networks to re-examine the way that they make shows and if "Daredevil" is the result then we have a winner.

Marvel has teamed up with Netflix to provide the first of several series that will hopefully continue and provide new ways to access and view the Marvel Universe.

When I heard that they had cast Charlie Cox in the title role, I wasn't sure what kind of show this was going to be.  But Cox is surprisingly good.  He carries off the roles of caring friend, vigilante, and attorney very well.  Another great casting choice was that of Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson.  My first view of him was as a guest on the TV show "Psych" as a murderer with a dry sense of humor.  With an even better sense of humor and great lines, Henson is a great Nelson.  Overall, the series is great with generally fantastic writing.

It's not perfect though.  The only major downside of the series is Kingpin. Vincent D'Onofrio looks like the evil villain, but there's quite a bit lacking - and it's not all his fault.  It sometimes feels as if there is a separate writer for him.  He may have a good line or two, but the character is much too emotional for what he should be.  I'm not sure what they are trying to do, but they need to fix it.

Still, I would recommend it and to you overall and happy binge watching.  This one is tough not to fit in one sitting! #Daredevil, #daredevilnetflix
