Marvel has finally revealed the release date for its upcoming Daredevil series: it's coming on April 10th. All 13 of the hour-long episodes from the first season of the Netflix-exclusive show will be available on that date, in every territory that the streaming service is available. The series will star Boardwalk Empire's Charlie Cox in the titular role, and is inspired by the "Man Without Fear" run of the comic book created by Frank Miller and John Romita, Jr.

(955 posts)You are in fact very wrong. It's really good, and not just compared to other comic book shows. Of course, it might depend on how much you like/dislike Miller's time on the Daredevil comic, as the show draws fairly heavily from that era.

(63,208 posts)I'm amazed at how good it is.
I have very low expectations while simultaneously hoping for a certain level of quality, and I have to say that the show has greatly exceeded my hopes.
Terrific pacing, effective writing, solid acting, excellent characterizations, and really good Daredevil-style action sequences.
And beyond all of that, Vincent D'Onofrio's Fisk is jaw-droppingly good. I had set a very low standard after Duncan's unremarkable 2003 portrayal and ( ) Rhys Davies' failed effort in 1989.
D'Onofrio has remade him into both a very human and very terrifying figure.

So, I'll just be a happy little camper and wait.
