"Daredevil Born Again" 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.

Other more positive aspects include acting that's above average and overstated but still exciting, fight scenes. Shame there's not more of the latter. Its supposed to be an action series.

UPDATE: I'm into the third episode and sadly, they are "still" too busy playing social justice warrior to actually play warrior. I'm not taking this further, its intelligently written but its also preachy and frankly, boring.

In summary, a series that's a little better than your usual superhero fare. Story line, characterisations and acting, are above average. That said, its too busy playing "woke warrior" to actually get on with the job of being exciting and entertaining. As of episode three, a solid pass from me.
