Damn, end of episode 3 was intense as hell. I'm definitely hooked. So far, this is easily the best thing Marvel has ever done. Really hoping the remaining episodes keep up the quality of the first three.
Right there with you man. Really looking forward to watching more! Fisk was introduced perfectly. I loved how subtle it was.
I need to keep going tonight but Flash is on so that'll probably win out.
I don't have cable so I watch Arrow and Flash on Hulu. I may as well just wait for tonight and tomorrow and watch all 3 episodes of what I'm behind on later this week.

Judging by the updates I get from my son's daycare, he might not have napped today. If that's the case, that means early bedtime and I can probably get through one Daredevil and Flash.

Sorry dude, going as fast as I can! I'm dying to get through more than 3 damn episodes!

I finished it last night.
And for those of you who were saying it's very Nolanesque, this Daredevil is based on Frank Miller's The Man Without Fear and Nolan's Batman was based on/inspired by Frank Miller's The Dark Knight series.

Loved Foggy, loved Karen, loved the fight scenes, loved how "defeatable" Daredevil is, loved the drinking, loved the dialogue, production values, direction. I like that Foggy is banging that one chick, it really pulls his character together.
I was shocked at how easily they killed off major characters in the comics (Uhrich and Leland). Very GOT-y.
I still don't like the casting of the Kingpin, and I don't like how much of a non-threat he was. He never seem like the strongest, smartest guy in the room. I love his characterization and motivation, and the actor is great in the "vulnerable" scenes, but not really in the "I'm the goddamn Kingpin" scenes. Last monologue in the SWAT truck was great though. Vanessa is great too, there was not enough of her -- I think I would have left her in the coma though.
It seems like they maneuvered themselves into an awesome Season 2 though (Fisk gets out, and he is out for Daredevil's blood, and he just tears Murdoch's life down, a la the classic comics). Looks like they're avoiding Bullseye for now... maybe waiting for a movie? Leland's son keeps being mentioned a lot for no reason, I'm guessing he shows up in Season 2 also?

We saw both DD and KP at their earliest forms: both dangerous/suitable but both very vulnerable. KP will use his time in jail to brood, get stronger and turn himself into the most intelligent, dangerous man in the room. It will all start inside the prison I think.
As for the deaths, I was not okay with them killing off Wesley, Ulrich and Owlsley so soon, especially Ulrich. I feel like he could have had a great role as a blogger, modernizing his character and having Daredevil use him as his voice with using the law as a way to get criminals behind bars. I feel like his character was a waste with him dying so soon. As for the two bad guys, I feel like Wesley would have been perfect to keep around while Fisk gets stronger and more focused in prison. He'll have his separation from Vanessa so he can get re-focused as well.
Even with those two small changes, I feel Season 2 is prepared to be incredible. They set the bar pretty high though. Then again, all Marvel has done the last 5-7 years is raise the bar higher and higher.

Just getting into episode 5. This is an awesome show so far. I really like how dark and violent it is. Very surprised by the violence, there has been some pretty brutal shit so far.
Spoilers if you haven't watched past episode five, and teeny tiny spoiler if you have not finished the series.
The sniper who takes down several cops in episode six seems to have a deck of cards in his bag, so some people think he was a bullseye easter egg. I am kinda glad they left him out just because of his role in the Daredevil movie, set up the TV world without him but then bring him in later.

I actually meant to post something similar in here. Wouldn't be surprised if that was him at all. Good catch

finished S1. Thought it was excellent. Noticed the above spoiler in E5 too, and immediately thought the same. Really thought it was very well done.
didn't think Fisk was as ruthless as I thought he'd be. But seeing him in prison makes me think that it was a setup to have him be even more deadly in the future seasons.
loved how Daredevil wasn't immortal; he was flawed and injured. A lot.

Yeah, I agree that they left Fisk in a really awesome place for Season 2 -- hopefully the guy regroups and just goes on a total warpath. And I do understand that this is early KP, but I still insist the season would have been stronger with a more formidable villain.
About the deaths-- I also hated to see Wesley go (though I do like having the "what if KP finds out" axe constantly hanging over Karen's head). About Leland-- do you think maybe he isn't dead? It seemed like the show made a point of showing him getting an armor-suit, maybe that is how he survives. They also seem to keep bringing up his son for no reason, maybe Little Leland figueres into S2?
