So, wifey and I finished watching Daredevil two weeks ago. I came in from reading the comic back in the early 90’s. She was completely new to the character. We both loved the series. Its easily our favorite superhero show, although we haven’t seen many of the other supers series yet (we’ve seen a little of Arrow and Agents of SHIELD, but not too much). I was more impressed with Arrow than SHIELD, but haven’t seen more than the first 4-5 episodes of either.
Daredevil was released by Marvel & Netflix. Its a 13-episode series, but its success has been so great that a second season has already been ordered. I don’t know all of the actors very well, but that’s usual for me. Here’s who we have though:
Main characters:
- Daredevil/Matt Murdock: Charlie Cox – not familiar with him. He’s British.
- Foggy Nelson: Elden Henson – not familiar with him, but he became my favorite supporting character
- Karen Page: Deborah Ann Woll – I know her as Jessica, from True Blood. She does a great job here.
- The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk – Vincent D’Onofrio – familiar with him from Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Other important characters:
- Claire Temple: Rosario Dawson – I know I’ve seen her, and wifey named like 20 of her movies.
- Vanessa Marianna: Ayelet Zurer – not familiar with her
- James Wesley: Toby Leonard Moore – not familiar with him, reminded me of Claire’s dad in Heroes
- Ben Urich: Vondie Curtis-Hall – not familiar with him. He’s white in the comic, but black here.
- Leland Owlsley: Bob Gunton – not familiar with him
