Daredevil

When I heard Netflix was making a refurbished "Daredevil", I was skeptical at its success but also interested how the show could bring its angle and possibilities. To my surprise, Netflix's Daredevil is a masterpiece. The show is both thrilling and well designed. The plot is exceedingly engaging and thrilling. Every character which is introduced has a proper backstory. Thanks to the writing genius of Frank Miller. Who run's the Daredevil with other writers, such as Bendis and Brubaker. They bring out the incredible storytelling of Matt Murdock who is a lawyer in the morning but being blind, he fights with criminals at nights.
The most compelling part of "Daredevil" is the villain Wilson Fisk. Vincent D'Onofrio nailed it. The menace and complexity in his voice even when he's not on the screen, and the cold, calculating and distant aspect of his body language, and the delivery of his dialogue, shows both the depth of his talent as an actor and the brilliance of his casting. As a long term fan of D'Onofrio and a huge fan of the kingpin in the comic book universe, I'm thrilled at the prospect of his continued involvement with the Marvel cinematic universe. The entire cast deserves recognition though, as there are strong performances all around. Jon Bernthal as Punisher was absolutely flawless. Wilson Bethel as Bullseye is a fantastic villain. And finally, we have Daredevil himself: Charlie Cox. Charlie Cox is Daredevil. He does great justice to the character and has made Matt Murdock his own. And also we have the gifted actress Deborah Ann Woll.

The action scenes of this show were phenomenal. Some of the best that I have ever seen. So realistic.featured some of the greatest martial arts fight choreography. The fight scene between Wilson Fisk and punisher was insanely choreographed. I think the best in Marvel history. This is a spectacular, more realistic adaptation of Daredevil and it works so well. The action is done much more realistically, making them even better. Action, character development, story, all the things are perfect. Usually, shows have plot holes, directors do not really care to fill them up but this show had no plot holes. It was really amazing, they went for a bit unexpected ending which I really liked. Usually, multiple villains ruin movies and shows but they did it so well. This is by far one of the best superhero adaptations ever. It's must watch.

Recommendation: Highly Recommended.

Black Mirror

The black mirror is one of the most creative sci-fi series I have ever seen. It's so realistic in the scariest way. It unflinchingly explores the issues of society through deeply intimate stories and characters and their interactions with technology. It is totally different and witty. Black Mirror is the reflection of yourself on your phone screen when the screen is turned off. A dark reflection of who you are. The intention is to show a dark depiction of ourselves through technology. Exactly what a Black Mirror is.A different point of view, different stories, different but natural talented faces. Some ideas in this artwork could be disturbing you, but this makes it consummate. It questions your life, routines, the choices you made, the basic code of ethics you have. It will not leave you feeling fulfilled. Watching it was an exhausting experience that shook me deeply. The thought-provoking subject matter combines with powerful, desolate stories and excellent performances to c...

Arrow

I did not know why I have watched a series called 'Arrow'.Maybe for some change, for some fresh air. Now I do regret this for choosing 'Arrow'.It's the worst one. If you want to spend some quality time, watch something else that I have reviewed below. The 'Arrow' started off great from season one, onto season two with meaningful flashbacks, great villains, good pacing, fitting dark tone, then it began to slow down with nonsense storyline. One major critic of the show will be how often the writers attempted to put too many love sequences in a superhero show(come on, this is not sex and the city), another will be the story doesn't follow up with the Green Arrow comics. Fans would love to see, If the show sticks to its action first and love story later, it will be more consistent and this will keep the show alive for a longer number of seasons. The best part of this show is that it provides its viewers with crossover episodes and team-ups with other s...

Monster

People traditionally associate Japanese animes with the likes of Pokemon and Dragonball Z where all that happens are flashy fights. So, it is often very difficult to convince non-anime fans that there's more to them. Monster is not typical anime, it is not even a series or a video, it is an experience I have gone through watching this piece of brilliance called Monster. It is a masterpiece. The show started and the art was realistic for an anime, something I hadn't quite experienced before. The opening theme song wasn't an annoying pop song that grated on my ears and made me snicker. The characters were real. The background music always fit the scenes and was never overbearing. The language spoken was honest and like something I could hear on the street. Germany looked like Germany and not some twisted version of Japan. The story was compelling. You can truly connect with every character. You'll see a person on screen for, at most, five minutes, but they'll ha...
