What to Know

Critics Consensus

Resurrecting Charlie Cox's Daredevil with his virtues intact -- namely Vincent D'Onofrio as his terrifying adversary -- Born Again is an ambitious and at times ungainly crime saga that marks a mature tonal shift for the MCU.

This season delivers — and that feels like justice. Go to Full Review
Shirley Li The Atlantic 03/27/2025
In the end, Born Again suggests, what makes Daredevil interesting isn’t his abilities -- superpowered and otherwise. It’s how, in his ongoing quest to better understand himself, he’s as human as anyone else. Go to Full Review

I'm not sure the first season of Daredevil: Born Again completely delivers on all those necessities... But it does better than an awful lot of disappointing recent film and TV efforts. Go to Full Review
Víctor López G. Espinof Jan 20
It does not only stands as the best Marvel production of Phases 4 and 5 of the MCU, but also as one of the company’s greatest creative achievements since the debut of Kevin Feige’s macro narrative project in 2008 with Iron Man. Go to Full Review

Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are the best hero/villain combination in the Marvel universe, and continue to have dynamic chemistry. Go to Full Review

I really enjoyed the show even though I didn’t expect to. I couldn’t stop watching. Daredevil: Born Again has a very down-to-earth vibe, and often doesn’t even feel like a superhero show. More like a legal procedural. Go to Full Review

Guillaume R @Guillaume171 1h Far better, lighter and enjoyable than the Netfilx version which had become far too dark, sad, full of cries, especially the character of Foggy, and barely watchable. Disney and Marvel make here a real good show. We can regret again some lack of humour, but the writing, cast, and actions scene are totally decent. I personally regret Murdock not seen a confessional, as he did before, as this marks another individuality in this character. See more Andrew L @Drew2026 1d Lazy writing hamstrings this season, with some high quality buildup interrupted with absurdities. There’s one episode in particular in the middle of the season that is pure filler. And then the ending where Frank Castle escapes it’s like… seriously? Why would anyone be that stupid? Unfortunate, because there are some great elements here including Matt’s new therapist girlfriend and potentially intriguing political agents, but they’re overshadowed with improbable plot developments and decisions by characters where you’re just like, "why would you do that?" See more prawnda S @RT72497680 2d it looks nice, but it was alternately boring and chaotic with no middle ground. choreography was unclear, audio abrasive during fights, then back to two people sitting at a table talking for a long time. it's just very boring. See more Nicholas B. @RT50682833 3d amazing.. just amazing.. See more Luke T @LightSyson 4d All of the production problems were on full display with this one. Felt like the entire thing was made by AI. No story to think of. All the new characters were 1 dimensional. Editing is horrendous. The villain is lame. Even Kingpin is uninteresting. Theres no investigation, no world building, no tension, no religious conflict, no emotion, no depth . Its an insult to the original Netflix series. I will give Born Again season 2 a chance only based on the fact that this season had to be re-filmed almost completely and the original crew are back to do season 2. But my god! ....this was a joke. See more Jared E. @RT98798168 5d Its biggest opportunity that is very felt is making us wait 6 episodes to get to Daredevil. The switchover to the new crew is very felt and noticed. Very good action scenes however, with one of the best Daredevil entrances ever. The season looks great and has a very good visual tone throughout. Punisher is the MVP of the season only showing up twice. See more Read all reviews
