The first season of Daredevil: Born Again, the highly anticipated revival of Netflix’s Daredevil, has come to an end. The series had a long road to production and a very unique release schedule, but its growing pains were definitely worth it. With nine episodes, Born Again brought something to the Marvel Cinematic Universe that few Marvel projects have attempted: a true political conscience. Its brutal season finale made hours of muddled build-up worth it. Born Again is the ACAB show Marvel fans never knew they needed, and that’s only set to continue as it heads into its second season.
The Born Again finale takes a sledgehammer to the status quo, positioning Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) as a true threat to the world at large. His rapid ascent forces Daredevil, aka Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), to take desperate measures to stop him. When the credits roll, Matt and his allies are still on the back foot — but there is hope on the horizon, and it could come in the form of a long-awaited crossover.
