As Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) begins his reign as Mayor of New York City, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) takes on a case involving a good Samaritan attempting to help a man in the subway who ends up being charged with the death of a one of the attackers (who turns out to be a cop). Despite the objections of Kirsten (Nikki M. James), Matt takes the case sure of the man’s innocence. The discovery that Hector (Kamar de los Reyes) is also a street vigilante, known as the White Tiger, now outlawed by Fisk’s new administration, only makes the case hit closer to home.

In a perfect world, the events of the first 10 minutes of Daredevil: Born Again would have taken place as part of another MCU movie or show. After the (already leaked) events that open the show, “Heaven’s Half Hour” jumps a year forward to reintroduce our core characters and new supporting ones. Bringing us back to status quo, only to jump forward to a new reality, and then likely to return back to familiar ground in a couple of episodes does feel unnecessarily messy. If these events had actually occurred a year (or more) ago, and we were left to stew on them in real time, the lose and our new introduction would have had far more dramatic effect. However, despite the glut of content Marvel continues to pour out, and attempts to keep all events connected across the MCU, none of these other shows, or even films, have had the dramatic weight to contain these sequences.

Daredevil - A New Napkin television review

Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) has won. With the charges against him wiped away, anyone who could do damage to him has been killed or discredited. And with the FBI firmly under his thumb, the Kingpin prepares for his wedding. With Fisk’s victory all but complete, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) plans on attacking the Kingpin on his wedding day and putting down the villain for good. To do so means on relying on the help of Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) who Daredevil has just the right leverage to push over the edge and aim straight towards Fisk. Meanwhile, one last chance at taking Fisk down legally falls directly into the laps of Foggy (Elden Henson) and Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) with a dying confession by Ray Nadeem (Jay Ali) that can unravel the Kingpin’s entire operation.

Daredevil - The Perfect Game / The Devil You Know television review

Despite still being under house arrest by the FBI, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) goes on the offensive. When his plan to have Matt Murdock‘s (Charlie Cox) killed fails, the Kingpin tries a different tack by attempting to slime the missing attorney’s reputation by alleging Murdock worked for Fisk as a fixer. Despite offering no proof to back up his claims, other than a single case that Nelson & Murdock worked for one of the Kingpin’s shell companies back in Season One, the FBI runs with the story and begins to hunt Matt Murdock. At the same time, using information gathered about Benjamin Poindexter (Wilson Bethel), the Kingpin goes to work on the man’s thin support system, slowly bending Dex to his will ending in the agent dressed in Daredevil’s costume murdering an entire newsroom under Fisk’s orders.
