20 Best Netflix Original Shows
11. Daredevil
As previously noted, Netflix is a big fan of cancelling its best commodities. No show cancellation has created a bigger outcry than that of Marvel's Daredevil, though, which was cut short following its third season despite being one of Netflix's most popular shows.
What makes Daredevil such a revitalising and endearing series lies in its confidence. Not content with simply being a typical superhero origin story, Daredevil is also a crime thriller, legal thriller and procedural drama. Gritty, dark and gloriously violent, the show balances all these themes and more with a consistent tone that keeps everything together, and a pitch-perfect lead performance from Charlie Cox.
That it was cancelled right in its prime is probably Netflix's biggest tragedy, made worse by the further cancellation of also-great Marvel shows Jessica Jones and The Punisher.
A silver lining is on the horizon, though, as Charlie Cox may return to the role in future MCU projects. Fingers crossed.
