Daredevil 'Pilot'
Do we call 'em pilots? Like is the first episode of a Netflix series a pilot? I mean, by virtue of the way Netflix does their shows it wasn't commissioned to see if the show worked so...? How much of classic television parlance carries over into new distribution methods?
Anyway.
Dude.
Dude. Dude. Dude.
Lot to say. Action is impeccable. Dude.
Also really digging the very different tone; how it's gritty and dark, but not overbearingly so. It's doesn't feel washed in grimness, there's still pathos and joy and everything in between (even levity!), yet still able to bring the grit and the blood and the grime.
It also feels very New Yorky. I've a friend who lives in H–, uh, the Kitchen, and it's fun to see that part of Manhattan, albeit recovering from an alien attack and not gentrified.
So I'm stoked. To watch more of this series (dead god do I need more free time), but also for the rest of the Defenders. Man.
Also, Charlie Cox spoke in a friend of mine's class and is apparently a "real legit dude" so there's that too.
