Daredevil episodes 6,7 & 8 review

I have now managed to see a few more episodes of daredevil and I think I should talk about it. Be careful for spoilers if you haven't seen the episodes yet.

The premise of these few episodes sees daredevil trying to get to fisk by taking down his followers. The Russian mafia, his money and the Japanese yakuza. Meanwhile fisk attempts to regain his confidence and get all his allies together to make his big play.

Charlie Cox continues to be great as daredevil, he does strike you as a vigilante who will do aanything but kill people to protect his city. I do wish we had seen more of Matt Murdoch at this point but I'm guessing that is coming either later in this season or the eventual season 2 that this series will definitely get.

I am glad they finally have Karen page, foggy Nelson and Ben Ulrich doing more with daredevil because I like all their characters but they have seemed seems little in the rear view because they haven't got anywhere. But now that it seems they are all working together it makes me think they will become more important. Wilson fisk is one of the biggest villains in the marvel comics and now that he is back on the universe it seems he is going to be done right. Even though he is a bit different to the comic kingpin we know more about him and we kind of understand his motivations why he is doing it. One other big character in episode 7 was stick, Murdoch's mentor was great and I thought they did a great job in the flashbacks and present day stuff to show their interesting relationship.

The premise of daredevil having to take down fisks associates makes sense and provides an interesting dynamic before you get to the final showdown between daredevil and kingpin. I liked all the individual stories of the episodes and I think it has really done a good job of fleshing out daredevil and kingpin even though it does leave a few characters a bit underdeveloped. As I said before I wish there was more courtroom scenes and I hope I get my wish.

The script was good especially the interactions between stick and Matt that provided some fun look into the characters relationship and how Matt is evolving as daredevil.

The fight scenes and dark style always hold up on the show with the roof collapsing stunt in episode 6 being the most impressive. Along with the fight scene in episode 2 probably the best action scene they have done.

Overall daredevil is living up to the hype and I am so excited to ssee The rest of the season.
