DISCLAIMER: I am not a big comic book reader so this is my completely unknowledgeable opinion of one TV show in all of the Marvel universe.

I was told to watch Daredevil by a coworker who IS a huge comic book fan. I was worried I wouldn't understand much because I hadn't read the comics or seen the Ben Affleck movie (which I've heard, is probably for the best that I haven't seen it). Daredevil the show, however, was endlessly entertaining, even without any previous knowledge of the character.

The show centers around two best friends and recent law-school graduates, trying to start their own law firm in Hell's Kitchen while one of them is simultaneously creating his superhero image. Matt Murdock, and Foggy Nelson are the "avocados-at-law" that make up Nelson and Murdock law firm. Nelson is a goofball that surprisingly has a way with the ladies. Murdock is...(spoiler alert) Daredevil, before the costume and even before the title. Although he's mastered using his senses other than sight, Murdock is still working out the kinks of being a superhero without being seen as the bad guy. Instead, the bad guy stuff is handled by Wilson Fisk, a powerful businessman that has a different idea for what the future of Hell's Kitchen should look like than how Nelson and Murdock picture it. Fisk isn't your typical villain, he actually has a more elaborate and passionate love story than the protagonist does which is something you don't often see. Fisk's depth and likability make him a hard villain to hate on 100% of the time..I hate him closer to 75% of the time.

The characters are interesting and the acting is phenomenal, but the best part of this show is the action.

In one of the first episodes, Daredevil has to fight off between 10-20 goons to get through one hallway, while he's already injured from a previous night of fighting crime. He practically stumbles through it, only at about 50% strength, but the goons are still no match for him at all. The cinematic quality of it also makes it even more captivating. The shot in the hallway looks like the sequence was all done in one shot, something not even done in big-screen Marvel movies. It's also darker than most Marvel movies (the few that I've seen) which makes it more realistic. Daredevil has "superpowers," but you see throughout the show that most of his skills weren't given to him by a radioactive spider or his superhero parents. The majority of his skills were learned out of necessity that he's blind, but still wanted to be able to live independently. Matt Murdock really is a remarkable hero and with a villain that is just as remarkable, this is a show you won't want to miss.
