2. Marvel’s Daredevil (Netflix)
From our review of the show: “Marvel has definitely embraced the darker content of the Daredevil series with apparent glee… This isn’t as colorful as The Avengers, and it doesn’t have the Joss Whedon quips that populate the pages of his script. None of this is a hindrance to the show, and as someone who could never quite catch on to Agents of SHIELD, it’s nice to see Marvel succeed in the tone of this series. It’s unquestionably a part of the Marvel universe; it talks about how their current situation is in part due to the consequences of the battle in New York with the Avengers, but it’s its own entity. Importantly to this viewer, while it’s always taking its subject matter seriously and respecting the stories like any good showrunner should, it also doesn’t reek of self-importance. It’s having fun, while being simultaneously thrilling and edgy.”
