The third season of Daredevil of Marvel find the series and its hero back to the basics. The new showrunner Erik Oleson (from Arrow and The man at the castle high) sends Matt Murdock, The Devil of Hell (Charlie Cox), in the street – and on the rooftops – of the city that he swore to protect, exchanging against the world the threats that led season 2 and The defenders Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio, still a mountain of intimidation and insecurity) is a familiar enemy and slightly more evolutionary. Daredevil even returns to his all-black half mask set of the first season, because "darkness only responds in the dark" (but also, the red armor was hit at the end of defenders, as well).
This is a welcome reset, but it says more about the poor quality of the second season of the series (despite the introduction of Punisher) and the years to come. defenders The showdown, which began in force, but was built in a final that, while bringing Midland Circle around Matt and Elektra (Elodie Yung), also razed the expectations for future crossovers. As exciting as it is to see Fisk and Daredevil circling again, this arrangement has something almost conciliatory, despite the fact that Oleson and his team were not involved in any decisions. earlier to spend so much time on such uninspired enemies in keeping with the general theme of Catholic guilt). It's as if they recognize previous mistakes and offer the proven dynamic of Daredevil and Kingpin, who both know what it's like to wear a mask.

This is not the only familiar part of season three: Matt's hectic pace and gloom are also back. But these strikes are easier to execute with this round, thanks to the expanded roles of the rest of the good players – Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, respectively – and to a promising mid-term move. Things are still moving slowly in the first two episodes, while Matt is recovering from his defenders Injuries in the catacombs of a church by rejecting the advice of Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie). This is where we meet Sister Maggie Grace (Joanne Whalley), a religious who is as devout as she is impassive and who knows the dangerous double life of Matt. She tries to help Matt get back on his feet, but it is much harder to heal his broken spirit than to heal his physical injuries (hence the gloominess).
Netflix and Marvel focused the season 3 promises on Matt's decision to become Daredevil full-time, setting aside his personal relationships as well as the legal means to obtain justice. It's also a familiar story, in the MCU on the small screen and elsewhere in the world of comics, but pairing Matt's self-imposed exile with Kingpin's more literal exile gives it a new sparkle. While Daredevil abandons all pretense of civil life, Fisk finds a way to keep his loved one while making his hell a long-time opponent. We have already seen this "villain as a distorted version of the hero" before, in this series and in others (more recently, Iron fistof the second season), but at the moment when the spectator thinks to know in which direction the road turns, Daredevil throws a curved ball in the form of the agent Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter (Wilson Bethel). The marketing campaign has already revealed the alter ego Poindexter, but the show takes all its time to get there. The episode of the original story, which is rendered with imagination, is more a chapter than the full book, creating all sorts of storytelling opportunities. Doubling the bad guys has been a risky strategy for Daredevil, but D'Onofrio's reliable performance and Bethel's fiery and tense energy (he could go on clenching with Bill Hader) demand equal attention.
As fearsome as Matt's enemies are, DaredevilThe third season too builds his allies. Although Foggy and Karen spend the first episodes tackling Matt's supposed death, they argue over his memory – and out of necessity. They are both on Fisk's crappy list, after all, and also good people who want to make sure no one else gets hurt. Karen and Foggy's methods work mainly in the system, a method that Matt has considered broken (and that Fisk bends to his will), so that they could all be for nothing. It's great to see Henson and Woll play more active roles in the series while staying true to their characters.
DaredevilBattle choreography continues his career in his third season by offering two beautiful extended scenes that seem to take place in different genres, while still feeling like a play. Cox and his stunt dubber, Chris Brewster (who also played Captain America), both have a chance to shine in shots so long that they almost tire the nerves. This corner of Hell's Kitchen has aroused strong emotions, even when legions of faceless fighters clutter the screen, but thanks to a new creative team, they are more than a welcome distraction. Matt's body and will may have been shattered by defendersbut DaredevilThe third season is a return to form.
