You do know Daredevil is a comic book character, right? Talking about realistic. Next thing, you'll tell us that Luke Cage's impenetrable skin is not realistic and that mutants of the X-Men universe are also not realistic. Of course, they're not, Captain Obvious. That's why you're supposed to suspend your disbelief.
I'm not opposed to superpowers or enhanced abilities. But if u want to step up from a comic to a show... pay a keen eye to details that's all.
Super man flies and is super strong yet he has his kryptonite.The fact that he is blind should play a limiting factor. What is the use of this blindness if in essence he sees.
I'd have been happier if he had super enhanced senses( hearing, smell etc) but yet a valid kryptonite. Or better still he can see poorly when he steadys his body or even see have a vivid mind that can detect forms, shape and size.
These shows are basically fiction but that doesn't mean that the producers shouldn't care to give us viewers cogent explanations.



Twd says a virus was released into the world.
wayward pines said humans were hibernated.
spiderman was bitten by a spider.
Even Ben10 found a mysterious alien watch.
I get that he gained superpowers that made him fast and sensitive but how does daredevil know the position of a trash can at least ten storeys below.

You apparently didn't pay attention at all, you answered your own question. His senses are extremely heightened, this in turn gives him 'vision', basically sonar. In fact, Matt actually mentioned he sees the "world on fire", which they actually showed us in the series. So, you only have yourself to blame for not paying attention.


Oh, and his weakness? Matt is not invincible. Sure, he can take one hell of a beating, but make no mistake, he can be killed.

I think he "Not seeing clearing" or "partially blind" and his training according to the story made him very observant about a lot of things. from sounds to smells

Yea I really loved the camera slowing and and fasting part in Spartacus,coupled with the way blood spills from the bodies as they were either being butchered,severed or cut. Really fascinating. However I think GOT has tried to maintain the tempo for 6 seasons. yea the dialogues seem laboured at times I agree,but kudos to the writers,they really upped the ante in season 6


PS: Will the real Lord Baelish rise up to be counted next season? M getting tired of his "long game" jor… people don' dey mobilise themselves for the Great War… Jon Snow, Arya Stark,Theon Greyjoy even Danarys sef

Greenleaf.... This has to be one of my favorite shows this year.. Nothing like an amazing all black cast with an added bonus of oprah Winfrey... Greenleaf follows the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family with scandalous secrets and lies, and their sprawling Memphis megachurch with predominantly African-American members....

I didn't read the comic and I've watched only season 1. I didn't take notice of where they said he has radar sense or sonar vision.
Perhaps, your right and I didn't pay attention.

The only good thing about that series is the talent of Viola Davis.

It's Shonda Rhimes, she writes that way creating fictional cliffhangers for the youth to masturbäte over. Too many plot twists reveal the very hidden plot holes. I just watched the second season to see if she'll get it right, she did worse than Scandal


You doubt me? Wait till the 4th season and you'll see that the series has lost its plot

O boy....be prepared to quarrel with me on this thread o!!!!! angry angry angry grin

what exactly are you waiting to "get into"? breaking bad didnt really kick in till season 2 or is it 3 and it turned out to be one of the greatest TV shows in recent times.

dont know about you but 9.3/10 imdb rating must mean something dont you think? in a period with crappy tv shows left right and center

brother,leave matter...this show is solid.....RELATIVE.....
