Daredevil: Born Again – Episodes 1 & 2 Review: The Devils Due

Marvel fans, rejoice—Daredevil: Born Again is finally here, and the first two episodes make one thing crystal clear: the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is back in a big way. These opening chapters set the stage for a gripping, character-driven story that blends high-stakes action with deep emotional weight, all while respecting the gritty tone that made the original Daredevil series a fan favorite.

Charlie Cox once again delivers an incredible performance as Matt Murdock, capturing both his relentless determination and inner turmoil. From the very first scene, it’s clear that Born Again is leaning into a more mature, complex narrative, exploring Matt’s struggles as both a lawyer and a vigilante. Vincent D’Onofrio’s return as Wilson Fisk is nothing short of phenomenal—his presence alone adds an ominous tension that keeps you on edge.

The action is as brutal and well-choreographed as ever, with fight sequences that feel raw, intense, and refreshingly practical compared to some of Marvel’s more CGI-heavy spectacles. But beyond the punches and takedowns, Born Again shines in its storytelling, balancing personal stakes with larger conflicts that promise a thrilling season ahead.

Visually, the series embraces a darker, cinematic style, with Hell’s Kitchen feeling more alive (and dangerous) than ever. The dialogue is sharp, the pacing is strong, and the show wastes no time pulling viewers into its web of intrigue.

If these first two episodes are any indication, Daredevil: Born Again is set to be one of the most compelling Marvel series in years. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the world of Matt Murdock, this is a comeback worth celebrating.
