6 Thoughts on the First Season of Daredevil
Like most comic book geeks, I binge-watched the new Daredevil TV show on Netflix this past weekend and loved it. The action, the acting, the storytelling, the superheroics all came together for an amazing show, just like we all hoped it would be. And Daredevil is just the beginning of Marvel’s foray into prestige television, with several more Netflix shows lined up. I couldn’t be happier that Marvel is doing for TV what they did for movies.
And, I suppose, what they did for comics…
In lieu of an episode-by-episode review or anything more substantial, I’ve decided to devote this week’s List of Six to my thoughts on the season. I’ve been doing similar lists for the other superhero TV shows, with Arrow, Flash and Agents of SHIELD coming later this spring.
So join me after the jump for my rambling, ramshackle review of the first season of Daredevil! I will try to keep SPOILERS to a minimum, but no promises.
Game of Thrones Wish Fulfillment is Back!
Does everybody remember this awesome and hilarious video, where Game of Thrones does everything we want and nobody dies a horrible, sad death? I sure do. Man, those were good times. Well the fine folks at College Humor are back with a second video! Warning, there are SPOILERS up through Season 4!
I will always approve of such silliness. Season 5 is off to a good, if somewhat slow start. Here’s hoping for more adventure and excitement on the horizon.

The Greatest Marvel Easter Egg of All Time is in Plain Sight in the Final Episode of Daredevil
I just finished marathoning the new Daredevil TV show and, while it was an amazing show, there is one thing in particular that I am still freaking out about. I’m writing this blog post at 2 a.m. because I just can’t wait until the morning to write this. I saw this Easter Egg with my own eyes and it almost threw me off the entire final episode. It’s right there, in plain sight; they weren’t even trying to hide it – and I love them even more for that.
Of course, I’m not going to spoil it for everyone without a little warning first.
He’s smirking because he saw it too
So take a moment. Make sure you’re sitting down. In fact, make sure you watch all 13 episodes of Daredevil first, because you don’t want to ruin the surprise for yourself. Seriously, it was a great show, from beginning to end, and I’ll have a deeper, better review next week. But this one Easter Egg, this tiny, insignificant bit of Marvel trivia, has elevated my entire life to new heights. This has to be seen to be believed.
Join me after the jump for the greatest Marvel Easter Egg of all time, from the final episode of Daredevil.
Red Daredevil Suit Revealed!
Our first official look at the classic, red Daredevil costume came today, on the even of the TV show premiere! You can check it out in the quick video below!
It’s just a bust shot, from the chest up, but it still looks pretty awesome! I’m definitely a fan. I like the gritty, realistic look. Ever since The Ultimates, I’ve been a big fan of superhero costumes that show all the bells, whistles, buttons and realistic elements. Keep the spandex to yourselves, comic books!
I’m definitely digging the mask and I can’t wait to see the costume in action! Hopefully Daredevil actually gets to wear the suit in the show and they don’t pull a Smallville on us.
What are your thoughts on the suit? Let me know in the comments!
