Well, it's not JUST the violence. The choreography and cinematography are several notches higher on Daredevil than on the CW shows IMO.

As someone who just started Person of Interest, I'm curious, about when does it go from being "a crappy procedural" to the great show I've been hearing about? I've wathched the first three episodes, and I'm already enjoying it. Pretty standard plots and not a lot of character depth, but great fight scenes and some…

Do you want to rub the back of your own head, or Joe Bernthal's head?

That's likely the release of Daredevil season 2. I imagine Luke Cage will come around this time next year.

Am I talking to Harvey or Two-Face right now?

I just want to say that I find these conversations between DC characters delightful.

Mark my words: the ending of this episode is just a big set up for The Defenders. I assume they'll be doing a supernatural theme for that series, as they did in the first arc of the comics (though of course with different characters).

I absolutely love the choreography of that fight. Notice that at the beginning of the fight, Matt fights him with a boxing style, reminiscent of his father's, and gets his ass handed to him. Like in a couple other situations throughout the show, when Matt is angry or in a moment of high emotional stress, he eschews…

Stick is like every Frank Miller trope ever rolled into one hilariously testosterone fueled character (right down to the insistence on referring to Matt as a "soldier".)

Interestingly enough, despite being the most "anti-hero" character in the MCU, Daredevil is the only one with a solid no-kill rule in place (not to mention a secret identity). I was mainly referring to their ideologies on how they operate: the Avengers seem to concentrate more on big, world shattering threats, while…

Just you wait and see. When Stilt Man turns up to menace the city, the Avengers will come crawling to Daredevil for his expertise.

I think if they do it right, Daredevil can be so much more than "just another" superhero. He can be the crusader for the "little guy". The guy who stands up for those who can't get help from the Avengers. The scene at the end of episode 2 says it all for me, the scene where Matt walks down the hall, barely able to…

Yeah, the series really feels like an 11ish hour movie. It's so much that I'm actually rewatching the series (slowly this time, as I tried and failed to do last time), which I never do for TV series so soon after my first watch.

My reaction when Matt is being approached by the police officers.

Haha, I was basically thinking the same thing. He's every Frank Miller trope rolled into one hilariously badass character (right down to his "soldier" metaphors). It makes me wish they would have had an alternate scene with Frank Miller actually playing Stick.

They did, however, go full Frank Miller in one area: Stick. And it's glorious.

*MILD SPOILERS for later in the season*

Ah, but that's what I love about these fight scenes. Daredevil doesn't flip around constantly like Spider-man or Ben Affleck. The fight scenes don't look like a well choreographed dance, like they do on Arrow (though I enjoy Arrow's fight scenes for different reasons). They look like a fight. A dirty, ugly, brutal…

As always with this series, the fight between Matt and Ron Howard was visceral and a thrill to watch.

Speaking of Iron Fist, I'm suddenly thinking that if THIS is the level of quality of fight scenes in Daredevil, I'm not even sure I'm ready for Iron Fist.
