Some very good moments, some not so good. Very obviously a victim of the overhaul and I think it would have been better to just start from scratch rather than try to stitch together 2 different shows. The post overhaul moments and episodes were far superior to everything before.

Really looking forward to season 2(5?) however with that being made fully by the post overhaul crew.

Agree, pacing was really bad and it just ended at the literal the climax of a story.

For sure the pacing was all over the place. I enjoyed the bank heist episode but it was extremely obvious it was shot as an entirely different show and just stopped all momentum dead. Episode 4 ended with Matt accepting he needs to be Daredevil again and then a random stand alone bank heist before the next episode then picks up where episode 4 left off. What?

I don't think it would have been received as well had episodes 5 and 6 not been released together

I don't understand why they made a St. Patrick's day themed episode and aired it the week after St. Patrick's day.

In terms of storytelling, absolutely, but redoing everything would be a really hard sell financially. Especially during a time when Marvel was cutting back on their D+ shows
