Daredevil: Born Again (2025)

"Daredevil Reborn" is what you might expect, plus a little that isn't. Yes, this series is better written than your usual tacky, superhero fare. There's a sense, in spite of the silly costumes, that the characters are real people, with all the complication, contradiction and baggage, that comes along for the ride. This extends beyond the protagonists to the antagonists, as well. So, thus this series is off to a decent start. What's not so good is the slow creep thread of woke-ism. I would have though by now the US entertainment industry had inflicted enough pain upon itself and its viewers, to know better. Its not overdone but it becomes evident pretty quickly and its predictably, a little tiresome. I'm into the second episode so I'm going to give this series the benefit of the doubt and hope it dies down. If not revise this review, accordingly. Other more positive aspects include acting that's above average and overstated but still exciting, fight scenes. In summary, a series that a little better than your usual superhero fare. Story line, characterisations and acting, are above average. That said, its still quietly beating the drum of work-ism and that's something, I personally, could do without. A mixed watch.
