First reactions to Daredevil: Born Again explained:

The first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again were screened for members of the press. Those who attended gave glowing reviews of what they saw on the screen. The review embargo is still up; it's just that the social media embargo has been lifted. Here are some of the countless reactions across social media:

• The managing editor of Cinema Blend, Sean O’Connell wrote this:

"Holy Hell’s Kitchen! #DaredevilBornAgain opens with a lengthy, devastating sequence that screams, “This is just as brutal as Netflix.” From there, the 2 episodes lay out a layered story about cops, vigilantes, and guilt. Read DEVIL’S REIGN as a refresh. Off to a GREAT start!"

• Liam Crowley, the on-camera reporter for Screen Rant praised Daredevil: Born Again by saying:

"#DaredevilBornAgain has the best pilot of any MCU series thus far, and it’s not close. Edge of seat energy w/ audible gasps throughout. Charlie & Vincent haven’t lost a step, Benson & Moorhead bring the sauce. Above all else, it’s EPISODIC. We *might* be back. @screenrant"

• Fandango's Erik Davis was appreciative of what he saw, much like O’Connell and Crowley before him. Called described the first two episodes as one of Marvel Television's strongest entries. He particularly pointed at a one-shot fight scene in the first episode that memorably sets up the rest of the series.

These words have left fans with bated breath for the second season which will begin filming in New York soon. Marvel Studio's Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum told Screen Rant about the plans after season 1. He said:

"Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that. I think this world is extremely rich, and there are many stories to be told on the streets of New York."
