If you are wondering if the new rekinding lives up to the hype, let me assure you. Daredevil: Born again preserves the same bite, wickedness and brilliance of the original, and earns every part of that TV-MA evaluation. The show packs in shocks, drama, graph, bloody brutality and an introspection dose. Performances from Cox and Vincent d’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin are as great as ever. Bones crack in your ear, blood of blood on your screen, and has visible suffering, both emotional and physical. Daredevil is back in excellent shape.
Debuting Tuesday evening at Disney Plus, the sees Cox’s series returns as a lawyer Matt Murdock, who fights for Everyman, but is conflicted about his identity as Daredevil, while Wilson Fisk seeks to change his Kingpin personality. With New York City as a backdrop – and a main character – crime, moral uncertainty, politics and manipulation all play roles in this story for what makes someone a hero or zuzar. Both Murdock and Fisk believe they know the answer and want to persuade everyone in their part.
When Daredevil: Born again begins, a tragic event puts the wheels in motion, unlocking a rage in Murdock he would extinguish better, but is tapping under his “mask”. The time limit is cast a year ago, with a fiscal candidacy for the mayor and Murdock who has his own ambitions. On the opening scene of Episode 1, he feels like he opens his eyes to the city and is a reminder of why people loved Daredevil’s world in the first place. The first episode – which contains the dinner scene shown on the trailer – plays with a visual ode for the comic book of the same name and reaffirms how Murdock is based on his sense of faith and justice.

Bad boys are everywhere in NYC, from the streets to the police force to the halls of the city’s highest political office. Daredevil’s first iteration researched the hell cuisine and the origin of the hero, walking through history as a slow burning in red, intense and contemporary dialogue scenes. Her sequence of her purple, open credit served as a metaphor for how bloody things could take in pursuit of good (or bad).
In the opening loans again for Born, the stone veneer signals that this time, Daredevil is hardened and blind justice scales move to gray areas. Those gray areas can include fair rage from a vigilance, barbaric actions performed by bad caskets or something in the middle. Daredevil: Born again it is not only about the struggle for what is right against darkness, but also for one’s soul and the soul of the city.
Even in the midst of darkness, there is a bright place for Murdock with his new love of love, Heather (played by Margarita Levieva). As a therapist, her knowledge of human behavior challenge Murdock’s perception of himself. Although not everything pink for this pair, their chemistry is undeniable and presents a side of daredevil/mundrlock that viewers should see.
What happened with fisco in Echo is still affecting it as Daredevil: Born again begins. His appetite for success is great, guaranteeing the layer travel that unfolds for this character.
