All 13 Matt Fowler reviews, aggregated above
“This is pure malicious magic. And bloody magic too.”
“Matt's trip to the prison is a much‑needed shot of adrenaline that overcomes the episode's bloat.”
“Basically, we got Daredevil vs. Bullseye: Round 1 – and it was amazing.”
Season 3 revitalizes Daredevil with a gripping redemption story and world-class action, marking a high point in Marvel's Netflix offerings. While pacing issues and limited subplots are noted, the compelling storyline and strong character development make it a must-watch for fans.
“Episode 10 is short on actual in-the-now story but big on fierce fighting and Deborah Ann Woll's stellar performance.”
“Despite rolling credits right when the stakes skyrocket and the action’s about to start, ‘Revelations’ is a wonderful wheelbarrow full of hard‑to‑swallow truths and mind‑bending answers.”
“Karen's sit down with Fisk is a damn knock‑out punch.”
“Episode 11 is crowd‑pleaser that, despite feeling stationary, successfully gets our heroes to new places emotionally.”
“Episode 12 is filled with wasted efforts, but it offers an interesting change to the standard Daredevil narrative.”
“Episode 7 actually gives our heroes some solid ground in an hour full of plot development and very little bloat.”
The episode delivers compelling character development and high-energy action sequences that stay true to the series' signature style. While the opening feels repetitive and some plot threads lack context, the introduction of Bullseye and strong payoff make it a solid watch for fans.
“To be honest, the elements of this particular episode involving Matt talking to an imaginary Fisk don't land all that well.”
“It’s hard for this episode to not feel like the plot has pushed a pause button, given all the things Matt and Karen discovered in episode 4 - and the multiple attempts on Matt’s life.”
