TV Review: Daredevil S1E10 Nelson v. Murdock

MARVEL'S DAREDEVILMurdock and Foggy’s relationship is put to the ultimate test while a new enemy against Fisk emerges.

Daredevil’s tenth episode is the flashback episode as Foggy learns the truth about Matt. The episode does a lot to show their time in college, and judging by the haircut, I think we know why he’s called Foggy.

The episode is a decent one as it opens up Matt’s ability and get us to learn more about it. It also shows the relationship between the two and why they’re still together. There’s also a reference to a Greek girl Matt dated…. Elektra!!!! So maybe we’ll see her down the road? The episode also has some cool references to Roxxon, an evil corporation that keeps popping up in Marvel movies, and is well known from the comics.

The episode also focuses on Ben Urich and his wife. We see more of what’s going on there, and his how it affects his work life. It adds depth to a character who’d normally not get a lot of screen time.

But, Daredevil’s origin and motivation aren’t the only thing revealed. The episode also sends Karen and Ben on a trip to a facility where they meet a rather interesting individual.

The episode is an interesting one in that it fits a lot in much earlier than I’d have expected. Matt’s unmasked to Foggy with some big ramifications, someone makes a move against Fisk. It’s all things that feel very season two. But there’s a few more episodes to go still, and we’ll see what else the first season has in store.
