[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 320599, member: 5079"] Yes, it's much the same for me. I was watching these shows real-time, which means DAREDEVIL S1 was way back in 2015 (yikes! 7 years ago!) I recall which of the Netflix shows I liked more than others and even which seasons I preferred, but certainly nothing down to an episodic level. As with the MCU as a whole, it will be much easier to talk about the series as [USER=23]@Mel O'Drama[/USER] is further along. Daredevil isn't a character who resonated with me very much during my comic book reading years. In fact, I can't recall ever reading a single issue of his book. I don't even recall him being associated with any team book from those years, not even The Defenders. My main familiarity with the character, prior to the TV series, may just have been the Ben Affleck movie. With virtually no familiarity or vested interest, it was pretty easy for me to accept these versions. At the time, I thought DAREDEVIL was the best superhero TV show made to that point. I particularly liked that it was grounded without being monotonously 'dark'. The question of continuity within the MCU is always interesting to me. I've already said it a few times so no spoilers here, but the canon status of these Netflix shows within the main MCU is uncertain. The inclusion of Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin in both DAREDEVIL and HAWKEYE would indicate a connection, but it's not without precedent for one actor to play the same character in two universes (J.K. Simmons). Since Disney + is doing a new DAREDEVIL show with Charlie Cox, I'm inclined to think it will be an in-continuity soft reboot; one where the Netflix shows are perhaps not directly referenced but not necessarily contradicted. As you make your way through the shows, I'd love to know if you pick up any continuity connections or contradictions. [/QUOTE]
