Re: Should I watch Daredevil?

Yes. It's a brilliantly-constructed crime/legal drama in the guise of a superhero show, and even the superhero bits mostly serve as the basis for what's ultimately a story about a bare-knuckle, dirty-fighting, raw and angry vigilante. (in other words, it's more successful in its attempt to be "realistic" than the Nolan Batman films.) It has its moments of gore (infamously, the main villain taking his anger out on someone via car door) but also some truly brilliant cinematography (including an amazing Oldboy homage) and great writing. It takes clear inspiration from the Frank Miller and Brian Bendis eras of the comic, arguably the single best runs the character's ever seen. (Seriously, you wouldn't expect it given what kind of person Frank Miller is, but his Daredevil work is probably his very best, probably because he was very young and hadn't morphed into the weird authoritarian mutant he is now. It's like all the really good Batman stories he didn't write.)

Set aside about 13-14 hours for it (it doesn't conform to standard television time blocks, thank fuck.)

Brilliant??? What show have you been watching? The one I saw was laughable even for comic book adaptation standards (but oh, so deeep and self important!) and also too boring to finish.
