Thanks all for the recommendations so far! I actually really appreciate the help! So far, I'm looking at Born Again, The Fall of Kingpin/Last Rites, all of Bendis' Run, and all of Brubaker's run. Charles Soule will be one I look at later (I enjoyed his work on Darth Vader). I haven't had a chance to look too much into the other writers mentioned yet, but I'll be looking into their stories/runs shortly. If you've got any other recommendations, I'm all ears!
The picture alone sold me (I'm a sucker for atmospheric artwork). I'm actually really excited to read the "whole saga" from Born Again to The Fall of Kingpin/Last Rites.
I deliberately didn't mention Chichester because much of his run can be a drag. It's very 90s in art, in cross-overs, and in unnecessarily complicated stories. Last Rites (#297-300) and #304 are both great stories. Fall from Grace is polarizing but can be interesting. Tree of Knowledge is a bit of a slog. And, honestly, the other stories aren't particularly memorable. I think it's worth checking out for a Daredevil completist but it has a lot of caveats that prevent me from recommending it.

I believe every long-running 1990s-to-now writer has been mentioned now, lol. The poster asked for 1990s-to-now recommendations, and the forum has effectively recommended almost every single issue in that era, lol.
I mean, I mentioned Kesel, Kelly, etc. but I didn't recommend them. Hell, I didn't even recommend Waid because he asked for dark. I also don't think anyone has mentioned writers like Gregory Wright.
To me, the dark writers are Chichester, Wright, Bendis, Brubaker, and Diggle. I'd recommend Bendis and Brubaker.
Medium tone writers are DeMatteis, Kelly, Lobdell, Smith, Mack, Soule. I'd recommend Kelly, Mack, and Soule.
The light tone writers are Kesel, Gale, and Waid. I'd recommend Kesel and Waid (I actually like Bob Gale's story arc, but I wouldn't make it a first choice).

This had me so excited. It held so much promise. Then I watched the show…..

Although I was overall disappointed this is one of the best fight scenes in any superhero show or movie.

Season 2 was an unmitigated disaster. Season 3 was much better, however, with an excellent fight between Daredevil and Bullseye at the Bulletin.

I had the polar opposite reaction. And it lived up to every one of my very lofty expectations.
This series, otoh, did not. I just found it so dull and inconsequential:

Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
Is it wrong to hope for a Daredevil/Seeing Being team up one day?
I thought DD S1'was good but the episodes could drag on and they really should have fitted it all in 10 episodes maximum, similarly to S2.
Fantastic fight scene. Pure genius.
DD S2 was definitely the weaker if all 3 seasons but still outshone Luke Cage. DD S3 was outstanding and is the best season of all the Netflix Marvel seasons and puts Daredevil at probably No. 1 in my Top 3 all time favourite Marvel series alongside The Gifted and The Incredible Hulk (Bixby/Ferrigno).
That's a shame you didn't like it. I thought it was very good with some excellent moments and it happens to be one of my favourite Daredevil runs. I do dislike the last arc which ended the series and found that inconsequential and very rushed. From what I remember, Soule mentioned that he had one more story to tell. IMHO, Soule did a great job overall and was very creative.
Yes, sacrilege
