Am I the only person watching Marvel's Daredevil? Well I know I am not, but within my circle I probably am, considering the mountain of work I'm supposed to be doing.
<I wanted to insert screen caps but I can't seem to decide from which episode-.->

In the end this is what I decide on...
hope they are representative of the whole mood of the show
and each episodes[: |
There's been a lot of reviews saying that this would be Marvel's version of Arrow, in some sense it is. There's the dark and gritty part of a society festering with social ills, but I would not say the manage the same kind of feel. I join the Arrow team relatively late, probably late last year when the Flash started up. After watching the Flash, Arrow had this realistic quality its not just darkness and grit but there is still humor and hope. Watching the first 4 episode of Daredevil the darkness and quest seems to exist but I would say that overall it is even darker. Maybe its the brutality that Kingpin embodies, all the blood and gore. However even more than that there seems to be no real character that is not tainted by the darkness. Thus giving that sense of hopelessness. I'm not giving up yet, but I doubt this version of Hell Kitchen would get to be a bit more happier. Oh gosh, this have inspired me to re-watch bits of Arrow, and I was comparing their flashback scenes. Oliver's flashback are by no means happy but there is a brightness to the feel, generally the landscape is not too gloomy. On the other hand Matt Murdoch childhood seems to be tainted with blood and gore. How the heck did he become so balanced? Charlie Cox really did a great job in the portrayal[:
Ps. The dark tones plus Karen [ Jessica from true blood] and the opening sequence just reminds me of True Blood..... Or maybe its just the whole red opening sequence.
