So I'm not going to talk about this huge failure and shame which is the first film called "Daredevil" where Ben Affleck proved he CAN'T act and he's a terrible superhero. I'm going to talk about a fantastic TV series (by Netflix) with Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock. Well, this guy can kick some ass (sorry for my vocabulary but you can't use another word for his martial arts;)). So basically we start from the beginning where he becomes the Daredevil we know from the comic books. He's a blind lawyer by day and a vigilante by night. His best friend since studies is Foggy Nelson - when he finds out about night activities of his friend at the beginning he can't understand it and accept it but with time I think he just embraces that there has to be a man who will do what's necessary but not convinient for everyone. The action takes its place in New York and it's not a futuristic vision of Christopher Nolan, it's dark, dirty, miserable Hell's Kitchen, where you can be beaten and even killed because you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Together Matt and Foggy protect poor people defending them in the court (like Karen Page, a victim accused of a murderer), and some other people not some important for the plot. Of course like every hero, Murdock has to have a nemezis - and this time it's Kingpin - it might seem like he's just a regular guy, but in fact he's a very dangerous villain, who almost destroyed half of New York (btw what's withe the villains and destroying the cities? I mean, in "The Arrow" we have Malcolm Merlyn, Deathstroke, Ra's Al Ghul, now Damien Dahrk, in "Daredevil" we have Kingpin, in "Gotham" we have basically everyone except for James Gordon, in "The Flash" now we have Zoom, what's wrong with you people? If you destroy everything and kill everyone, there won't be anything to rule on - just a digression;)). Matt Murdock really rocks in this show, the script is great, the action scenes are smashing and I can't wait till next season next year.

he gets his superhero uniform in the last episode of the first season - well it's still better than Diggle in "the Arrow" (4 seasons;p)) |
