Okay. The darkness, the violence, the milieu... it's all been covered. I'm going to talk about something different.


I like the way they've handled the love interests. They're straightforward partnerships up to this point. Foggy has his girl who is helping him. Matt has Claire who knows who he is and is helping him. Even Fisk has something of a love interest who is accepting him (though I''m in ep5, and I have a feeling she's about to get killed by the Russians) none of the tortured bullshit of trying to hide identity and being like, "Oh. I'm supposed to be at this date, but suddenly my superhero alter ego calls, leading to complications in my relationship." After Spiderman and Arrow, that shit is completely overdone. I like the straightforward relationships in this series so far. It's refreshing.

Hell, one of the better things is that the villlain is dealing with the secret identity in his love interest more than the hero.
