@captain_batman_ftw: Is this better?
Anyone else having a hard time finishing Daredevil?
@legacy6364: Hell yeah!
@legacy6364: everytime I see this clip I cringe. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!?!?
@noj: He's the goddamn Captain America.
@mysticmedivh: lol I guess thats really the only explanation needed.
@noj: Watched it all the first 3 days. But I like to finish things. I wasn't too impressed with last 2 episodes if i'm honest but do agree Kingpin didn't feel like Kingpin like at all :)
Good stuff that I liked:
1) Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Matt Murdock. He nailed it.
2) Foggy Nelson and Night Nurse.
3) Madam Gao, Nobu and the Russian brothers. In fact, I'd rather they just had Matt taking on organized crime as the central theme of the show. I liked all of the above more than I liked Wilson Fisk.
4) The action scenes.
5) That they actually worked in Matt's religiousness to a degree, even if not having gone the full nine yards.
Bad stuff that I didn't like:
1) Kingpin. Vincent D'Onofrio is a fine actor, but I didn't much like the show's take on the Kingpin. I would've much preferred if they went the full-on cruel crime lord route rather than the weird quasi-savior route they went.
2) Karen Page. She started out as likeable, and then just got steadily more annoying as the show went on. Also...
SPOILER ALERT
...when she shot Wesley in what is possibly one of the stupidest and most contrived scenes I've ever seen in a TV show. Which then leads us to...
3) ...the fact that the first eight episodes were great, the last five, not so much. You could tell they were trying to wrap this thing up as quickly and neatly as possible.
4) The entire story arc with Ben Urich. I fast-forwarded through pretty much all of his scenes.
5) The show's annoying tendency to drag out dialogue to the point of irritation.
I take issue with the last episode. The story was more or less stuck and they pushed it forward with that whole contrived bit about that other cop/detective or whatever being held up. That character meant nothing until they assigned all this meaning to him in the last episode. Just felt like deus ex machina to me.

Really? I kind of saw that coming since Kingpin ordered him to kill his partner.
