Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot knowing Matt's name, Claire names him Mike. In the original comics during a period in "Daredevil" (vol. 1) issues #25 - #41 to protect his secret identity Matt pretended to be his non existent, sighted, twin brother called Mike Murdock and claim he was the real Daredevil.
- GoofsYoung Matt claims that the French alphabet has no W. That is not true. The French language just rarely makes use of it.
- Quotes
Claire Temple: I found a man who needed help, so I helped him.
Matt Murdock: Oh yeah? That simple?
Claire Temple: [glances at unconscious Russian] Do you really want to get into this in front of him?
Matt Murdock: He's out.
Claire Temple: Maybe he's faking.
Matt Murdock: [listens] He's not.
Claire Temple: Okay, that right there? That's what I'm talking about. Okay, I find a guy in a dumpster who turns out to be some kind of blind vigilante who can do all this really weird shit like smell cologne through walls and sense whether someone's unconscious or faking it. Slap on top of that, he can take an unbelievable amount of punishment without one damn complaint.
Matt Murdock: [smirking] The last part's the Catholicism.

The episode primarily concentrates on Daredevil's ordeal and his colleagues' night out. Right off the bat Daredevil is found bleeding and injured, he is serendipitously saved by Claire (Rosario Dawson). It's quite a pleasant surprise to see Dawson who is usually more active for cinema. She presents a delicate moral dilemma for Daredevil. His method and action are still unpolished despite his conviction, and while he clearly doesn't want accomplishes, Daredevil must deal with consequences of his action so early in the series.
Direction of the show is definitely getting more solemn. It provides a few flashback scenes and also the aftermath of the first case for Murdock's friends. All of which are shown with different flair, Elden Hensen as Foggy is probably the only lighter element in the dark Hell's Kitchen streets. His character keeps the show from going overly primeval, though there are many violence scenes in this episode alone.
A bit of minor inconvenience is a couple of the sequences could've been fully explored instead of narrated. However, the fight scene is outstanding. At some point the show delivers one of the best action choreography worthy of the silver screen. It reminds me of battles from OldBoy or The Raid.
It's a raw and visceral night for Daredevil, but since he has a robust body and episode three is already out, we'll see more of him and his suffering.
