As Marvel’s Cinematic Universe keeps expanding into its myriad parallel worlds, all eyes are on the franchise’s upcoming shows. Daredevil: Born Again is one of Marvel’s most anticipated projects, but as a reboot of the MCU’s darkest and most mature offshoot, fans and critics alike have been anticipating the series with trepidation.
