REVIEW: Daredevil: Born Again – Season 1, Episode 6, “Excessive Force”
If “Excessive Force” proves anything, it’s that Daredevil: Born Again is braindead, yet another Marvel endeavor that doesn’t care about crafting a compelling story, giving the characters satisfying journeys, or even having much that happens on screen make sense. Watching it is a hollow expe...
