Re: [FairfieldLife] Netflix TV review: Daredevil
I watched episode 1 last night and am glad they didn't go the comic book look with their cinematography. It reminds me more of The Killing in style. I'm not going to binge watch though. Hell, I haven't even finished the last episode of House of Cards yet. I'm not OCD enough to binge watch I guess. So I also watch episode 4 of The Code last night. I see it was Sal you watched it back in December. I'm waiting for the Scooby Doo part. The actor who plays Charlie Issacs in Manhattan plays the autistic brother of the Internet journalist.
