The Daredevil: Born Again Season One Episodes Ranked

The first season of Daredevil: Born Again acts as a direct continuation of the Netflix series, picking up the story of Matt Murdock with a more reflective, bruised tone shaped by everything that came before. Charlie Cox returns to the role with a quieter, heavier performance, portraying a man still carrying the scars of past battles as both a lawyer and a vigilante. The season leans hard into its legal-drama roots, balancing courtroom tension with street-level violence, and treats Matt’s Catholic guilt and moral uncertainty as central engines of the story rather than background texture. New York feels less like a playground for superheroes and more like a pressure cooker, grounding the narrative firmly in the world established by the earlier show.

Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk is once again the gravitational force of the season, now operating under a veneer of legitimacy that makes him more unsettling than ever. Fisk’s political ascent reframes his rivalry with Daredevil as a clash between institutional power and personal conviction, deepening the long-running dynamic that defined the Netflix run. Supporting performances, including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, reinforce the sense of continuity, giving the season emotional weight and history. Born Again doesn’t try to reinvent Daredevil so much as refine it, proving that its strength still lies in character, consequence, and the slow erosion of hope in a city that never stops testing its heroes.
