Daredevil on Netflix: Episode Two



  • I forgot this one started with the flippy timeline thing where the first shot is of the hero all bloodied up . . . in a dumpster in this case.
  • Opening credits are still cool, and still boring. The music manages to be both soothing and anxious at the same time.
  • You know, technically, hot nurse shouldn't be moving Matt without first checking his neck, but he's unconscious so technically, he'd need at minimum a head/neck/spine CT scan. He needs a C-collar. I'm wondering why hot nurse didn't call 911, and I recall from my first watch that this is never explained to my satisfaction. 
  • Yo, those were blown pupils they showed on screen. Her first though wouldn't have been "blind". It would've been brain herniation.
  • Now she tries to call 911, after the shittiest trauma survey ever.

Daredevil on Netflix: Episode One


You know how people liveblog and livetweet and livewhatever TV shows? I was gonna try that with Jessica Jones, but that comes out next month. By then I'll be back at the hospital, so instead I'll do this with Daredevil. Full disclosure, I already half-watched this once while on internal medicine service. Which means I remember like 30% of it. And I don't know how this is supposed to work with a show that's on Netflix. But here we go.


  • I like the poster. The cane, the bloody knuckles, the smirk/smile thing the actor has going. Kudos to the art people, make up people, and him.
  • I thought the scene with the little kid and the toxic spill was going to be the major gist of backstory, but I know from my previous binge-watching episode that, sadly, that will not be the case.
  • Matt's monologue with the priest went on like 95% too long. Cut the story, keep the "what I'm about to do" line.
  • During that first fight scene, there's a dude sitting in a chair with some junk food the entire time. I don't know what that was about. Like, why didn't he run? Pull out a gun? Called 911? Dropped the sandwich? I feel like I missed something about that dude.
  • They were trying some artistic, noire, Game of Thrones deal with the opening, and it's pretty and everything, but just like with the GoT opening credits, I get bored.
