Daredevil? Oh, it is a Netflix show about a blind lawyer, Matt Murdock. He takes on crime as vigilante in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Dark, gritty vibes. Characters are complex. Action is intense. You will not be bored for sure.

Meet the characters from Daredevil

Matt Murdock

Matt Murdock is this whole tragic-hero package—blind lawyer by day, street-level avenger by night—and somehow both the calm and the storm. He literally can’t see yet sees everything that actually matters, in this melodramatic-but-true way; boxing gloves, rosary, then pow! Parkour? No, more like methodical fury. He’s devout and guilt-ridden and also ridiculously stubborn about following the law even when he breaks it (classic, right?). Also, tiny weird detail: he hums while he fights sometimes and he has really particular pizza opinions—very specific and slightly contradictory.

Wilson Fisk

Wilson Fisk is the intimidating chessmaster of Hell’s Kitchen who throws tantrums like a kid and composes symphonies like a patron of the arts—it’s wild. He basks in classical music and marble statues and then casually crushes a room full of henchmen; refined brutality, total juxtaposition. He runs everything with the swagger of a king and the paranoia of someone who sleeps with one eye open, and somehow he wants to be loved (screams “dad energy” and also “monster”). Fun little thing: he says he hates small talk but collects tiny model ships on his desk, which is either sweet or bone-chilling depending on the day.

Karen Page

Karen Page is the gritty, heart-on-her-sleeve reporter who somehow keeps getting dragged through hell and comes out louder and angrier and braver each time. She’s a walking contradiction—vulnerable and ferocious, clumsy in a cute way but with the coldest investigatory instincts when she wants the truth. She’s the moral thermometer of the crew, the one who makes you feel guilty and inspired in the same breath, and she can go from cracking a joke to sobbing to screaming “”tell me everything”” in two minutes. Also, random: she hoards weird receipts and collects pens from every courthouse she’s been to (and forgets where she puts them), which is kind of adorable.

Foggy Nelson

Foggy Nelson is the giant-hearted, loud-voiced legal conscience who brings the jokes and always has Matt’s back, even when he’s wildly out of his depth. He is equal parts comic relief and moral backbone—blustering on the outside, secretly brave on the inside, and prone to spectacular courtroom rants. He’s got this lovable messiness (post-it notes everywhere) but also an almost neurotic devotion to legal ethics and his clients, which makes him both funny and unexpectedly fierce. Oh, and he swears his chili is unbeatable even though everyone knows he can’t cook to save his life—still, he’d die for you.
