Finally giving the devil his due.

Continuing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's comeback tour, Daredevil: Born Again takes the good elements of our horned hero's Netflix series (which isn't quite as good as you remember) and puts them in a solid MCU TV frame. Moreover, much like Captain America: Brave New World the production story behind the devil's rise from the grave offers insight into some of the *cooked* decision-making happening at Disney; when you have to turf your writing staff and most of your established plot because the internal reviews are that bad, you know something's wrong.

But suffice it to say that Season 1 is not bad at all. The one-shot hallway fights are preserved in all their glory. The Punisher shows up and the show becomes a noir domestic comedy, like The Odd Couple meets The Wire. A truly shocking moment closes out the penultimate episode. And naturally, we cannot wait for Season 2.
