It's been 2 years since season 2 and just with the first episode, I'm happy to say that the quality has not changed. This episode mainly deals with the aftermath of the Defenders and how Matt is recovering. The story is still stellar as we check back in with over favorite characters while setting up new ones. There are also some really powerful moments in this episode that mixes visuals and music really well. It reminds me of some scenes from the Dark Knight Rises. My only complaint with this episode is the fact that Matt doesn't mention any of the other Defenders that could act as witnesses to confirm what happened. Overall, this is the best the Marvel Netflix shows have been since the Punisher season 1.

I knew him and he'd get knock down... But always get back up

Very good start to the new series, starting off with quite a lot of biblical reference and how Matt Murdock may it out of the Hands underground excavation. But the born again story arc is in full flow already.
I'm liking the speed that Matt Murdock is returning to being the devil of helps kitchen. Very similar to the dark knight rises where his injuries are not going to stop him.the boxing match is a bit if a beating after he regains his hearing and then losing the hearing but still pushing himself to be the devil. By the end of the episode his fighting 2 muggers but also getting 6 bales knock out of him, very similar to the early days of season 1.
I have to say Sister Maggie is the prefect casting of the straight talking and no nonsense nun. Really knocks some sense into Matt Murdock the same as stick but not in the literal sense!
Fisk is still in prison and broken by Vanessa being charged as an accessory to murder, wants to make a deal!!
There is going to be a side story of the newly introduced FBI agent who has quite a sad story but he's going to be intertwined into Fisks web.

Daredevil fans will know that those early lukewarm reviews did not do justice until they see the first episode of Season 3. And it was amazing! We can see that everyone in Team Daredevil is still hurting after the events of The Defenders. Matt got the worst brunt of it. He tries to recover physically and spiritually but it was clear to see that that his childhood home is not the ideal place for him to do just that. The short sparring session in the basement was somewhat funny, with the Father and the Sister both at the fighter's corner! Fisk is still incredible as usual. Commanding and imposing even in the white walled cells that he is being holed up in. Overall season 3 has the potential to go further than Season 1......
The most mature Marvel have ever been

This was such a great return. This episode is mainly just drama, and barely has any action or thrills (with exception to a couple of scenes), but that's exactly the right way to start this season.
I love how Matt is not a superhero, and is just so human. This whole 'vigilante' alter ego isn't an expression of kindness. He does it for himself before doing it for others...and I love that. In fact, this entire episode felt human. We got a minor glimpse of that in Wilson Fisk in this episode too...but only for a short time, before the end credits has other plans.
This episode had a very morbid and helpless feel to it. I'm not a fan of Marvel but the likes of The Punisher, Jessica Jones (season 1) and Daredevil really do showcase what can be done with these storylines and characters. There's no need to hold back an R rating to appeal to kids.
Brilliant stuff.

Let the devil out
Barry_Garrick20 October 2018
A brilliant way to start the season with parallels to young Matt adjusting to his blindness after an accident. Seeing his senses as they redevelop themselves was a treat to watch unfold though the excellent cinematography. This season starts so elegantly and continues to show why it is simply on another level to other Marvel Netflix series
A great Start

A breathtaking terrifying opening proves that season is the best and the darkest
Warning "Spoilers"
I've always wanted to see that side of Matt like any human being he's tired of falling he starts to question god's ways he starts to question why good people are punished he feels that god has failed him ,letting darkness take over him, abandoning his friends letting them think he's gone his throwing the ideals that Daredevil are based on compassion, Love, being emotionally attached to people
he thinks that no one like that part of him and he's lonely
thinking that emotional attachment was a mistake and he must only care about himself not fighting people's wars
he's living his weakest moments reached the bottom physically and mentally.
what creates the balance now is that's he's staying in the very place where his story started "An Orphan boy who's lost his eye sight"
talking to people who have different views about god and his ways ,he begins to see he was blessed with gifts others don't have ,seeing beyond his sufferings while the show shows us non of his friends have given up on him Karen feels he's still out there
The ending shows he's his father son he can't stay down and rises again it also shows that he can't change that he can't abandon people who's in danger he stands up for them defending him
The Devil was once an angel who lost his way,Daredevil presents the devils's anger ,strength,fire to do the work of angels
The return of the best Marvel Netflix hero and villain
ultron-1261419 October 2018
This first episode of the third season is a little slow and maybe people find it a bit boring, I do not because I didn´t bought Matt´s death in the Defenders series, this beginning promises a lot of tension when the Kingpin is finally out, so this feels like a right step, looking forward to watching the rest!
A new begining
albertobenavides23 October 2018
A great new beginning to daredevil, showing us a completely new side to his character. It would've been a 10 if they left the focus on Mathew for the entire episode. It would've been an 8 if Ray wasn't equally interesting.
Grounded Story-line.

Daredevil is back!!!

A great way to start the season. Matt is recovering from the events from The Defenders while trying to bring himself back to being the devil of Hells Kitchen. In this episode it showed how much I missed this show and it has been worthwhile in waiting for almost 2 years for it to come out. Introduction of new characters and their issues are a good addition to this already amazing show. The characterisation has me interested in what these characters are going through, topnotch acting overall.All in all a great episode and a good set up for the entire season.
Slow start

Not much here
Leofwine_draca13 February 2022
After hearing season three raved about so much I must say that it gets off to a very slow start here. Not much in the way of insight, just Matt catching up on his past and looking towards a future. Fisk's return makes it a little more interesting.
Great reopening
matthewgaines-4278724 October 2018
This story hit a wall. Looks as if they truly thought this through. Glad to see it after the disappointment from the other shows in the series, following the Defenders, that this one is building back up the dense dialogue.
Reveling of a martyr
jiljoshbertspiller8 November 2022
I believe that people are being much too hard on this episode. It may not be the most exciting in terms of providing the audience with a thrilling plot, but what it lacks in forward motion, it makes up for in a maturity of depth. Matt has met his breaking point of which is incredibly human, and in doing so loses his sense of identity and purpose. It allows for us as imperfect people, to see him and understand what it's like to spite what we dedicated ourselves to when it seems to have failed us. He quotes the book of Job, believing that he is the suffering servant and that God is the route of this sense of defeat. His faith was torn as well as his body, and he has lost his will to go on. This continues the theme of a man who cannot live two lives, he has chosen to live as daredevil, to assume this as his full identity and give up all that he was as Matt Murdock. To die as the hero he believes he is rather than live as someone he's not. Yet the will of God moves him toward his purpose despite his desire to die. This plays with the idea of destiny or fate. Can the will of man be greater than God? Can Matt change his destiny or is it set in stone in the form of the police arriving precisely as his desire for death peaks?
This titular resurrection of Matt is both physical and spiritual. It is a Resurrection born of suffering, a reflection of Christ. And in the end, one must ask the age old question, "Is suffering, simply the cruelty of a distant God, or is it the refining fire that redirects our lives toward purpose, toward who we are meant to be?"
Ultimately, this episode isn't for everyone, but for those who are patient and willing to slow down their expectations and look deeper, beyond the glossy coat of paint, you may find something deeper and more valuable.

Matt's Struggle [7.5/10]

My Reaction / Review for Daredevil Season 3 Episode 1 ''Resurrection'' (S3. E1): Season 2 was good, I hope this one is the best. Nice to see Matt alive. I wish Foggy stil had the cool long hair. Both Karen and Foggy think Matt is dead, its going to be a big surprise when they realize he is not. Seems like Matt is losing his faith. Nice to see Wilson again. It seems like Matt lost not only his faith but his powers too, cant even walk properly without help. This episode is all about watching Matt feeling sorry for himself. Seems like Matt is slowly having his powers back, that's good. Oh boy Matt took a serious beating. Who is this new Indian character? Is he a villain or something? Oh so it seems like he works for the FBI. So wait, he cant be promoted because he has debt? What kind of rule is that? Sounds like nonsense. Ok overall a decent episode, my rating is 7.5/10.

Very boring episode.
It takes after the awesome Defender Series. Then we start off in a catholic shrine and things get worse. It's like a talk show. That's all what happen.
Matt Murdock gives up for a few minutes and everyone preaches down to him.
The camera quality like various marvel Netfrix shows looks gray and ugly. It took me 4 years to watch this hash because of the ugly camera quality.

I understand why they had to do it this way, but having Matt in such a bad state and heal so quickly was too much.
Still, the show feels like it is taking a smarter approach this season which is the right move. It was overrated in the first two seasons, but hopefully this is different.
