8. There Is No Replacement For Ben Urich
Staying on Denofgeek, they also argue that they 'can't really say that there's a supporting character who has emerged to take the place of Vondie Curtis-Hall's Ben Urich'. Of course, series 1 saw the surprising murder of the New York Bulletins' top reporter at the hands of Vincent D'onofrio's Wilson Fisk. The death of this character in the very first season was a massive shock to viewers not familiar with the comics, but an even bigger shock for those who are. Killing such an integral accomplice of Daredevil so early on was a very gutsy move, but it sounds as if they have left a bit of a hole where Urich once stood. From the trailers it looked as though Royce Johnson's Sgt. Brett Mahoney might be taking his place but presumably this is not the case, at least not in the first half of the series. Hopefully this feeling of something missing will not become an ongoing issue.
