1. From the very first moments of its premiere, watching Daredevil: Born Again feels like stepping back into a familiar place. Unlike the flashy, soulless vibe of many superhero flicks, Hell’s Kitchen in Daredevil feels authentically alive, with its old brownstones, creaky fire escapes, and busy streets glistening from the rain, all illuminated by streetlights and flashing police sirens. You can really feel the atmosphere in Josie’s Bar, the lively Irish pub buzzing with grumpy cops and chattering lawyers, including our main guy Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil (Charlie Cox), along with his best pals, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll).
The excitement of “we’re back, baby” hits even harder when Matt’s sharpshooting rival Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) barges into the bar. The ensuing fight scene is classic Daredevil: intense, dynamic brawling with brutal choreography, all captured in long, sweeping shots that let us feel every punch. Plus, we get to hear what Matt hears as he uses his enhanced senses to locate his friends while Poindexter wreaks havoc on the bystanders. This makes the violence hit home on an emotional level, not just a physical one.
In a nutshell, Born Again picks up right where the original Flixtor series ended. The blend of superhero action and legal drama continues to be a winning combo, keeping Matt’s escapades thrilling even when he’s out of his superhero gear. The new Disney+ series cleverly ties these elements together by having Matt defend another masked hero in court. And Matt remains one of the most layered and intriguing characters in the MCU: a street-smart Bruce Wayne with a hefty dose of Catholic guilt.
