We have a completely spoiler-free review of Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix TV series.
Here’s one spoiler, though: it’s really good.
This spoiler-freeDaredevilreview is based only on the first five episodes.
Its been quite a year for Marvel Studios.
Marvels formula has been working quite well, so why mess with it, right?

Dont worry about any of that, though, becauseDaredevilis extraordinarily good.
Youre dropped right into the thick of things, and its pretty easy to catch on.
There are no gadgets, no growly vigilante voices, and no flashy representations of superpowers.
In fact, his superhuman abilities are never overtly referenced by any character.
Yes, hes blind, and hes got enhanced senses.
But theres no expository dialogue to clue you in and no visual representation of his radar.
Every member of the supporting cast does some heavy lifting.
The fight scenes are all spectacular, with lots of long shots to confirm you might see every hit.
The violence isconsiderablymore graphic than what weve come to expect from Marvel, so prepare yourself.
Its a unique approach, but if this were a theatrical release,Daredevilwould be flirting with an R-rating.
Even if you feel that youre beginning to burn out on superheroes, you wont want to missDaredevil.
Thats not the case, here.
While certain elements ofDaredevilwrap up in each chapter, theres certainly no villain of the week.
This one has its own street-level story to tell, the Marvel Universe be damned.
It even feels more cinematic than several of Marvels theatrical offerings.
Dont make any other plans when its time to start watching.
