In honor of the impending Season 2 of Daredevil on Netflix this Friday, I’m going to re-posting a list I put on Facebook after my wife and I finally got around to seeing it last Summer.
For those of you wondering if you should jump in, you should definitely start with Season 1… and I stand by all these observations.
Warning: Potential Spoilers for people who want to go in with no expectations…
Daredevil on Netflix might be for you if:
1) You watched The Dark Knight trilogy and thought, “Oh, they’re trying to be dark and edgy. How cute!”
2) You like to play “Spot the Accent” (Betcha don’t catch ’em all!)
3) You really want to feel better about yourself as a father by comparison
4) You like crusty old reporters whose wrinkles have wrinkles
5) You want to see a creative new spin on “Shut up, Wesley!” You’ll know what I mean.
6) You’ve always wanted to see if Vincent D’Onofrio will literally explode. I mean literally, not figuratively. Like the crew knew some of them would die in the D’Onofri-blast, but they still wanted to film it just to include the real footage in the show.
7) You want to see Rosario Dawson hang a lantern on it like a boss
8) You want validation that art people can dress in white but be just as weird. Seriously, what the hell is that person thinking?
9) You want to see someone completely miss the point of a Bible story.
10) You want to see an amazing drama with engaging characters which is also arguably the best superhero TV show ever made.
