‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Is Brilliantly Intense: TV Review


Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio have returned as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk in Disney+'s stellar, 'Daredevil: Born Again.’

Also, a new romance with therapist Heather Glenn (Margarita Levieva), who has differing views on vigilantism, further illustrates Matt’s internal divide as he struggles to stay firmly in the light, even as the city becomes crime-ridden and old adversaries like Frank “The Punisher” Castle (Jon Bernthal) make their presence known. While much of Season 1 of “Daredevil: Born Again” focuses on Matt’s reluctance to fight crime outside of the courtroom, the series also showcases how people as maniacal as Fisk and his queenpin wife, Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer), use violence, terror and sheer force of will to obtain positions of power and shape the court of public opinion. As Fisk settles in, silencing his opponents, elevating loyalists and building an anti-vigilante task force comprised of some of the most heinous members of the NYPD, his endgame and bid for total control are ever more apparent, especially as he ropes innocents — like Heather and young freelance journalist BB Urich (Genneya Walton) — into his web.
