Netflix's Daredevil, perhaps unexpectedly, has been a roaring success so far. The entirety of season 1 dropped in April to some serious fanfare, and reviews from critics - both the high- and low-brow kind - that reiterated what audiences were already thinking: this was one of the best things Marvel had had a hand in yet. Despite the difficult nature of the Daredevil concept - blind Hell's Kitchen lawyer by day, crimefighter with super-senses by night - showrunner Steven DeKnight and creator Drew Goddard managed to make it work. The lead, Charlie Cox, whose career hadn't exactly taken off after his star turn in Stardust eight years previous, was reborn as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, while Vincent D'Onofrio and the creative team can credit themselves with creating the MCU's first truly great villain in Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin. Season 1 of Daredevil showed off many strengths across its 13 episodes. But still, as with most great new shows, there were weaknesses that stopped it short of being perfect television. Now most everyone has finished poring over season 1 of Daredevil, it's a case of waiting for DeKnight and Goddard's next swing at the bat - which will arrive next year, hopefully with any less successful aspects of the show corrected. Here are ten issues with Daredevil's first season that season 2 could do well to improve upon.
