Daredevil: Born Again was supposed to be a 'peaceful' reunion for the lead characters, Matt Mudrock (Charlie Cox), Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Wilson (Elden Henson). However, fate had other plans (or the showrunners). Spoiler alert: Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye, is back!

Here's disheartening news for Foggy fans. Bullseye gets to Foggy in the first episode. Next, the series takes a big leap to one year later, and the storyline continues!

Losing a character that contributed significantly to the initial show is not for the faint of heart. That too in the first few minutes of the debut? That's brutal in every world.
