Charlie Cox’s return in Daredevil: Born Again has been a treat to many a Marvel fan, but it’s taken a while for the new series to find its footing. Though it kicks off as though no time has passed, its early episodes struggled to balance the tone of Netflix’s original Daredevil and Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. That’s probably best exemplified in last week’s double episode, which featured an episodic, MCU-esque adventure right alongside a much darker and more violent chapter.
It might have been divisive, but at least Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) found his way back into the Daredevil suit by episode’s end. Born Again also gained a new villain in Muse, a truly disturbing addition to the MCU. His reign of terror will continue in future episodes, setting the series up for a gritty final act.
