This is an absolute gem! You wouldn't know what you've missed out on until you watched it. It's like a whole new world you've stepped into.
Matthew is such an exceptional character. His world is so different from ours and yet, it felt so similar. Cox was so compelling in his portrayal, that I lost track of when exactly this show had left an indelible mark on me; when this show had consumed me.
It is his hope for a better world that supersedes literally everything.
In my opinion, the depiction of feelings like hope and optimism in recent cinema/literature is restricted to being corny and ingenuine. But, Matthew's hope is so raw, and somehow, in some tiny corner of my heart, relatable?
His rapport with the other characters is what won. Foggy livened up the whole damn room. Karen was that rose that grew from concrete. I always looked forward to the scenes Matt shared with Father Lantom. Such wise words! Fisk was an enigmatic character. Looked subtle, but was terrifying. Poindexter, Nadeem, Frank (love this guy!), Stick, Urich...there's something you learn from all these people.
There were so many firsts for me in Daredevil. First time I didn't skip the intro, first time I found myself noticing stuff like the colour scheme, first time I rewatched a show, and the very first time something like a show stuck with me long after the credits rolled.
I found my favourite right here.
