‘Marvel’s Daredevil’
Before you dive into Marvel’s The Defenders this weekend, circle back for a refresher course on the series that started it all: Marvel’s Daredevil. Charlie Cox stars as the blind lawyer-turned-superhero in the gritty street-level series that set the tone for Marvel’s entire Netflix-verse. In addition to a heartbreakingly heartfelt performance from Daredevil, a hero that grapples with crises both internal and external, the series features standout characters like Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and, in season two, Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Elektra (Elodie Yung). If you’re already up on DD, then rewatch the season two finale for a perfect Defenders appetizer.
