I'm too old to watch the whole thing in one sitting.
I'm not rapturous about the whole thing but it's not bad. I am thinking of getting a fund raising campaign together to buy the director of cinematography some lights so we can actually see what is going on. I do like the long takes for the fight scenes but the darkness might be hiding a lot of sins.
The first two episodes were pretty standard lets tell the back story fare and were pretty weak. Yes, there has been a lot of buzz about the exceptionally long fight scene but it didn't really blow me away. One of the problems so far is that since they feel they are telling a 13 hour movie, there is a tendency to let everything run on too long.
The next two episodes are a bit tighter. More characters come into play, so we aren't spending the whole time watching Daredevil. I do like Donofrio as Wilson Fisk and I especially like his first lieutenant who oozes amorality and menace.
The show could do with a bit of levity.
If you have Netflix, it is worth a gander but I would reign in your expectations. No sword fights so far.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
