The journey of Daredevil: Born Again maybe it could be its own series. It’s been a rough rollercoaster to say the least. From the original 18-epsiode order to cameos in No Way Home, She-Hulk again The Echoin artistic correction during filming. But in the end it is true. Daredevil: Born Again welcome back to the blind vigilantes and the Kingpin. The show is created by Dario Scardapane, Chris Ord and Matt Corman and stars Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles from the original Netflix series.

The sbut series is off to a strong start, with the first few episodes having a positive impact. From the first episode, it catches you off guard with its brutal violence and bold story decisions, setting up what at first sounds like a dark, grim, and street-level saga. It depends on it, or at least tries to, in everything that is done Daredevil a fan favorite—complex characters, grounded stakes, and a world that thrives in the MCU’s shadow rather than under its spotlight. However, as the season progresses, cracks begin to appear, and the series struggles under the weight of its ambitions.

One of the biggest problems is the sheer number of characters and clips vying for attention. The show introduces a lot of new faces, and side stories, but none of them get the time they need to breathe. Bullets come in and out easily and we don’t see any big ones. Instead of the strong, focused narrative we’ve come to expect surrounding Matt and Wilson’s conflict, we’re left with unnecessary cliches. As a result, we rarely see them face to face, which is disappointing. We also don’t see Fisk getting his hands dirty, which makes sense now that he’s mayor.

This thread ends up throwing around a lot, making it feel full and unfocused. This directly affects Matt’s arc, which feels oddly inconsistent. The Daredevil we get here finds a stranger to the one we’ve come to know and love with each episode. His journey isn’t as close as it was in the original Netflix series, and it had some potential thanks to the first few light episodes. And at times, it feels like the show isn’t quite sure what to do with him. In episode 5, we take him on a little trip with strings that just feels like it’s forced to accept a cameo.

By the time we get the glimpse of Matt Murdock we’ve been waiting for, the season is already wrapping up, leaving many wanting. That being said, this show still delivers in some important areas. The action is always top-notch, with well-crafted fight sequences that remind you why Daredevil has the best fighting in the superhero genre. The acting is also excellent, as expected, with Charlie Cox returning to the role effortlessly. Vincent D’Onofrio and Jon Bernthal also return as if they never left.

Michael Gandolfini was a standout among the young actors. His character was very lovable and lovable. He quickly finds chemistry with D’Onofrio, and they set him up almost as a protégé to Fisk. The funnest part was how Vanessa and Wilson loved each other. It was handled with care and respect, and it took some interesting turns. Ayelet Zurer is great as Vanessa and thank god they brought her back. Jon Bernthal also steals the show as usual with his brief appearance as The Punisher.

There are also some solid twists along the way, and the show occasionally finds shining moments that show off its strengths. But if The New Birth continues in this way, it risks becoming another commodity that bends under the pressure of entering the wider MCU instead of standing alone. The biggest mistake Dario Scardapane made was to keep the 6 episodes shot in line with the creative overhaul. The episodes shot after he arrived are the best episodes and the difference is obvious.

Daredevil: Born Again it does a great job of expanding the street side of the MCU while providing the gritty and dark storytelling that Marvel rarely delivers. It starts strong, incorporating the violence and brutality that made the original show so beloved, but eventually loses focus under the weight of too many characters and scattered clips. it still delivers exciting action, strong performances, and lays the foundations for what could be great in the seasons to come. Even if you can’t get on board with the storytelling, you’ll enjoy seeing our favorite characters back doing what they do best.

Daredevil: Born Again debuts its first 2 episodes on March 4 on Disney+.
