The praise has mainly fallen on the direction of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who have managed to keep the series with a tone and rawness similar to that of the acclaimed Netflix adaptation. According to critics, Daredevil: Born Again combines elements of courtroom drama and action, addressing the complex dynamics between the police and vigilantes. Additionally, the plot references the comic The Devil’s Reign, where Mayor Fisk plays a crucial role in threatening superheroism in the city.

Despite the positive comments regarding the narrative and direction, some criticisms point out that the visual effects are the weak point of the series, although the action scenes have been executed with great skill. Sean O’Connell from Cinema Blend has noted that the series opens with a striking sequence that recalls the brutal approach of Netflix’s original production, raising expectations for a return to the character’s essence.

The first reactions suggest that Daredevil: Born Again successfully recaptures what made the original series special, while also taking a different direction, maintaining a balance in its writing. While the criticism may vary over time, these initial impressions generate considerable optimism about the future of this new installment of the Hell’s Kitchen hero.
