Daredevil Gets Back In The Ring

Season 1 of Daredevil gave us some truly magnificent fight sequences, but we’re not exaggerating when we say that season 3 makes those brawls look like the stuff of Danny Rand in Iron Fist. (Too soon?) It feels like every episode is bookended by some spectacular action shots, but a few stand out.

The first is Matt Murdock’s trip to the prison Wilson Fisk was formerly being held in. A riot breaks out, Matt must rely on some Albanian gangsters to help him escape, and during it all, he’s fighting off Fisk’s henchman behind bars. The tracking, the way the camera captures the chaos of it all, and the claustrophobic feeling of being caged in this madness are all done so well you might need to press pause after the fight is done, just to let your brain catch up.

Then there are Daredevil’s meetings with Bullseye. Both men have their own set of strengths — Bullseye is precise and ruthless, Daredevil is technically skilled and relentless — and it’s difficult to predict who will come out on top whenever they face off this season. And they face off a few times, at a newspaper office, in the church, and at Fisk’s penthouse.

It’s this final battle, the one that takes place during the season finale, the one that sees Daredevil, Bullseye, and Kingpin trading blows, destroying priceless art, and beating each other senseless that might prove the most memorable. It’s not just a collision of men with different threatening abilities. It’s a collision of men with shared history, shared trauma, and the show mines all the emotion it can while doling out bloody noses and broken bones.
