Daredevil episode 1 is a gritty and thrilling scene-setter
Daredevil is kind of a big deal. Not only is it the first live-action TV series based on a single Marvel character with ties to the current Marvel Cinematic Universe but its marks a major deal between Disney, Marvel and streaming service Netflix which will see the creation of a further three single character shoes and a massive crossover mini-series over the next five years. That's a lot of conent, and another step into making the Marvel Cinematic Universe all consuming, especially when paired with theatrical outings and network shows like Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter.In case you don't know, its based on a series of comics featuring the character of Matt Murdock. He's a fellow who was blinded by chemicals as a child and works as a lawyer by day and a masked vigilante by night on the mean streets of Hell's Kitchen in New York.That all holds true for the TV series, with the accident and Matt's law credentials all handled in the first few moments of the film. This about his injury but more concerned with how his life has led to the creation of the alternative character of Daredevil, a man without fear who does his business when the law fails.
