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.

I've been impressed by some of the fight scenes. Not just the action, but the choreography with the camera. There's a particular one in the second episode that is one continuous shot as the camera slowly moves back and forth to capture the entire sequence; it was very interesting. And while that ones still the best, IMO, they've done some other nice shots too in the later episodes. (I'm only up to 7, not quite binge watching but two a night, will be sad when it's over.)

 

Oh yeah, also good story and stuff. B-)

Ahhhhh I'm only on episode 9? right now but it's good. Really good. Definitely some of the best fight scenes I've seen anywhere, but the performances are excellent, especially D'Onofrio playing Wilson Fisk.

I'm only on episode 2, the fight scene on that second episode is definitely pretty great. I'm really liking how they're using the flashbacks and the performances are great.

 

I also like the way they have tied their story to the rest of the MCU without really being explicit about it  or beating you over the head with it or anything,bit of a different approach from AoS but it's a good difference.

 

Oh yeah and I really like the intro too, it's pretty nice.
