Daredevil has surpassed even Agent Carter in the MCU TV division stakes.
But that presents us with a problem.
How do we approach reviews?
In a bowling alley, a man (Healy) attempts to join a private game after hours.
He then hides the gun and surrenders to the police.
Played here by Vondie Curtis-Hall, Ben Urich is an investigative reporter with a long history in the comics.
He normally works at the Daily Bugle, but for rights reasons thats not the case here.
In the comics, Urich is a pretty big character.
There are a couple of nice MCU nods on the wall of Urichs office.
Actually, the prospect of seeing that rise excites me.
Weve seen Daredevils origin a lot, but its rare we get to see Fisks in any material way.
This episode also gives us our first glimpse of Fisk himself.
Vincent DOnofrio is instantly great.
Finally, this episode really ramps up the violence.
Episode 3 does not take that route.
Ill be honest, I think its probably a bit much.
Is the extra step of such graphic violence achieving anything?
Im interested in hearing opinions on this specifically.
But other than that, another great episode.
If you cut the heavy violence out ofDaredevilitd still be considerably better thanAOS.
