Daredevil - Season 3

The worst and best moments in the history of the series in the third season, in which the height of its best moments is unfortunately offset by declines in amateur twists and the cowardly storylines of the supporting characters. The driving force behind the series is the inconspicuous, but all the more catchy "good guy who took a wrong turn" Ray Nadeem. The only character that is brought to an impressive point. For me, the entire season is ruined by a terribly sloppy last episode and the feeling that Matt is just a free rider in his series. My favorite series disappointed me as a result for the first time. If the creators wanted to make a dark, civil and heavy colossus, they needed to learn more from The Punisher. Because The Punisher never slipped into B-movie twists and Cimrman revelations.

The anticipated third season is different than the two previous ones, but still excellent. Rather than typical Marvel, the series is close to those dark thrillers from the 90s where the bad guys rule (Kingpin has everyone under his thumb) and the new villain Bullseye is cool. Matt Murdock is really destroyed in this series, losing everything, learning to fight again, training and regaining his powers. He doesn't even put on his suit for the whole series and I'm not that satisfied action-wise (apart from the prison scene, nothing really impressed me), but the amount of twists, emotions, thick atmosphere and impressive dialogue is enough to make me extremely satisfied with the third season. 85% (11/06/2018)

If a fan of the series skips Season 3, they won’t be missing much. Punisher and Elektra are gone and Fisk is again doing things for a better future, just like in the first season. Everything is even more far-fetched, more muddled and more of a stretch. Apart from perhaps a few episodes that stray from the classic triangle of main characters and bring a fresh wind to the plates (e.g. the Karen episode), it's same old same old. I can’t be bothered with a fourth season. Also, this season is missing an over-the-top single take scene like the stairs from he Season 1 or the prison from Season 2. And there's Bullseye, who had so much potential. (11/09/2020)

A return to the roots. The Ninjas and Elektra are fine, but the confrontation with Fisk is much more personal for Murdock. The third season is very dark and full of loss, and all about revealing the painful truth. The writing is great; except for a couple of shortcuts, it perfectly captures the development of the characters from suicidal through depressed to normality and vice versa. Lots of emotionally intense scenes. Bullseye’s introduction works (Bethel is excellent), even though he only distantly resembles the same character in the comic book. The confrontations between the two rivals are exemplary and the fights are again breathtaking. Top-quality TV production. (11/06/2018)

A series that maintains its luxurious standard throughout all its seasons. This is rare, especially for a television series about a Marvel hero. I’ve always been fascinated by Daredevil’s approach, as he doesn’t rely on superpowers that turn the main character into an invincible being; he’s just an ordinary guy with sharpened senses except for sight. He feels pain, takes time to recover, and fatigue shows after a few minutes of fighting. Overall, the series feels incredibly human in this regard, not exaggerated. Fisk’s return was delightful, and he's one of the best villains I’ve ever seen. Bullseye also worked well; if a fourth season comes, I’d appreciate a more detailed origin story about his past (he was given minimal space, in my opinion). The action sequences were once again unmatched, with the prison fight being an absolute peak in television production. But the best character remains FBI agent Ray Nadeem, and I grew quite fond of him. The ending was epic again; another season is definitely needed, or I’ll suffer from withdrawal. I give it 93%.
