It's totally unlike episodic network tv imho, which is basically a 4-act-play format. Daredevil presents more like it was conceived, written and shot as a "Graphic Novel" comprised of 13 chapters. Every frame advanced the story.
To me Daredevil felt like experiencing something both new and better. Emphasis on 'Better'. A 13-hour-movie format for comic book storytelling. A near perfect medium for live-action comic book arcs.
Anyone else thinking the Netflix "season-at-once" format is the best medium for live-action comic book storytelling so far?
I agree completely. I had a really good time this weekend being able to watch it at my leisure without having to wait weekly for new episodes or, even worse, waiting for the season to be released on bluray. It's a lot easier to avoid spoilers viewing it this way as well.
I feel complete, even if I am anxious for more, and I'm really looking forward to Jessica Jones later this year, now more than ever.
