Mostly pretty great. I think he could have gotten the suit an episode or two sooner but all in all it set the bar pretty high. Hopefully Luke Cage achieves the same level of quality.

Oh... I also really like the Iron Fist teases: Madam Gao being from a place "a considerable amount further than China", her chi punch, and her Steel Serpent brand smack.

It was a great unique take on a genre that's becoming overplayed I feel. It definitely stands out among the mediocrity. Daredevil did some great world building of the streets of New York, not to mention managed to portray the story in an interesting manner while keeping true to the books and adding its own flavour to it. Great stuff. Can't wait for the other Netflix shows.

It might be the binge-watching experience talking, but I thought it got a little draggy towards the end. The last three or four episodes were spinning their wheels a little bit, before the final confrontation. That said, the first four or five episodes are excellent. The big fight scene in episode two is getting a lot of kudos, and they're well-deserved.

On the spoiler side of things . . .

spoilers:

The only thing I really didn't care for was killing off Ben Urich. He's such a versatile, useful character, and Vondie Curtis-Hall was great in the part.

I'd give it a solid B+, and I'm looking forward to the next series.

I agree on the spoiler:

Also, Ben could have acted as a tether for the various series since he's a crime reporter. His blog could have been "The Pulse" and had him weaving in and out of the rest of the future Defenders' lives.

In regards to the spoilers spoilers:

Ben could've spanned throughout all the shows I think. Missed opportunity there. The reporter angle is a great one to work with, but it looked like they'll go with the trusted cop informants which isn't bad either.

end of spoilers I was actually shocked they went that route.

An easy 5stars from me. Haven't been this excited about a Marvel "series/live production" since the Avengers.

It was pretty great except for that "big death" in episode 12. Seemed like a waste of a good character.

Other than that it was excellent.

[Johnny Thunders!]

Terrific, and low budget for the most part which shows how strong the characters and stories are and always have been. I think it equals the Flash and Leaves the rest behind.

[Songbird/Diamondback]

I was really surprised by this show and really loved it.

[jen]

I thought it was pretty good. I really liked that it took its time to develop the characters including the villains. Looking forward to season 2.

I'm not finished yet (episode 12) but I really like it. (Spoilers from episode 6) spoilers:

Vladimir's alliance with Matt and his last stand while singing that Russian song rank among my favorite tv moments ever.

I like it. Kingpin seems a little hammy though.

[OBrianTallent]

I'm not quite finished yet, but so far I would easily give it 10 out of five stars! Far better than I ever expected it to be!

[Darth Phoenix]

Loved the last two episodes the next season will be better now the he has costume and weapons. Ready for more villians or The Hand at least.
