The first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again have finally been unveiled to the press, and the initial reactions are nothing short of electric. The veil has lifted, and the buzz is undeniable—this one doesn’t just land, it crackles.

Screen Rant’s Liam Crowley took to X to share his excitement, declaring that Born Again boasts “the best pilot of any MCU series thus far, and it’s not even close.” He didn’t just offer praise; he etched it in stone, calling this the MCU’s strongest premiere by a landslide.

He describes an edge-of-your-seat experience, packed with audible gasps and relentless intensity. This isn’t just thrilling—it’s pulse-pounding. The kind of ride that tightens its grip with every scene, each moment crackling with raw tension, pulling gasps from the audience like a reflex.

Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio slip back into their roles with effortless precision, while directors Benson & Moorhead bring undeniable flair. But this isn’t just a return—it’s a masterclass. Cox and D’Onofrio own the screen, stepping back into their characters as if they never left, while Benson & Moorhead lace the series with a distinct cinematic sharpness, a controlled yet electrifying sense of style.

But what stands out the most? It’s episodic. A structured, deliberate return to form. This isn’t another sprawling MCU movie disguised as a series—it’s storytelling with intent. A methodical, beat-for-beat escalation that builds momentum the way television is meant to.

The message is clear—we just might be "back". The writing’s on the wall, the echoes unmistakable—Daredevil isn’t just returning. He’s home

A Brutal, Unrelenting Opening

Sean O’Connell, managing editor of CinemaBlend, had one response: Holy Hell’s Kitchen! He described the premiere as opening with a lengthy, devastating sequence that immediately signals this show isn’t shying away from the brutal tone that made Netflix’s Daredevil so iconic. O’Connell highlighted the series’ layered storytelling, weaving together themes of law enforcement, vigilantes, and moral conflict. He even recommended reading Devil’s Reign as a refresher to fully appreciate the narrative depth.

A Powerful Start with Unforgettable Action

Fandango’s Erik Davis echoed this enthusiasm, calling the first two episodes “among the strongest starts for a Marvel Studios TV show to date.” According to Davis, Born Again seamlessly blends courtroom drama with pulse-pounding action. The standout moment? A one-shot fight scene in Episode 1 that delivers an unforgettable climax, setting the tone for what’s to come.

The Return of an Icon

Charlie Cox once again dons the mask of Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer-turned-vigilante who first captivated audiences in Netflix’s 2015 Daredevil series. While Cox has already made a few appearances in the MCU—She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Echo, Spider-Man: No Way Home—this marks his full-fledged return to the gritty, no-holds-barred world of Daredevil.

A Star-Studded Cast

Joining Cox in this thrilling revival are several familiar faces, including Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Ayelet Zurer, Wilson Bethel, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal. In addition, newcomers Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, and Jeremy Earl bring fresh energy to the series.

What’s the Story?

According to the official logline, Daredevil: Born Again follows Matt Murdock as he fights for justice both inside the courtroom and on the streets, while Wilson Fisk (D’Onofrio) attempts to rise to political power in New York. As their past identities come back to haunt them, a collision course is inevitable.
