Marvel's Daredevil: 10 Reasons It's The Best Comic Book Show Ever
7. The Tone Of The Show Is Dark And Adult
Daredevil is unlike anything that Marvel has thus far produced and the most obvious example of this is with the tone of the show, which is very serious and dark, with a real focus on character and the consequences of people's actions.
It would be easy to say that Daredevil is 'The Wire meets The Dark Knight', as this description does give a viewer a quick insight into what to expect, but it might be too reductive. Nothing is simple in the world of Daredevil; yes, there are good guys and bad guys, but the world of Hell's Kitchen lives in that grey area between good and evil.
Both Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk are morally ambiguous figures, and the question of where villainy ends and what the price of doing good really is runs through the entire show. This type of moral ambiguity is relatively new territory for the MCU (it certainly doesn't appear very often in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and it is accomplished with aplomb.
