REVIEW: Daredevil: Born Again – Season 1, Episode 9, “Straight to Hell”
With its first season finale, “Straight to Hell,” Daredevil: Born Again does what once seemed impossible and delivers a good episode. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect; there are problems this show will likely never get over unless it does a massive creative overhaul in its second season (whic...

“Sic Semper Systema” has one great scene, one good scene, and a whole lot of boring, useless, infuriating crap. It’s maddening to see what’s become of Daredevil under Marvel’s tight control, watching Born Again sap all the soul and excitement out of what was a fantastic TV series on Netfl...
