Thoughts on Daredevil midway through episode 5: Good show, awful writing

The Marvel movies are filmed a certain ingenious way. They are filmed for pure enjoyment. They allow us to look past some of the inherent silliness leaving us with simple enthusiasm.
With the gritty darkness that comes with Daredevil comes a much tighter focus on story and the writing isn't up to par.
I love the acting. I love the world they've built. I absolutely love how they've handled Kingpin. This show has potential and I most certainly will keep watching it.
But the show rings false. I am continuously reminded that I'm watching a show, something the marvel movies never did.
Outside of Matt and Kingpin, I don't really buy any of the other characters. They feel flat. They do stuff that a child would think.

Stopped watching after 3 episodes. Moves slower than molasses even with some major fight scenes. It makes me want to watch the Ben Affleck film.
Which sucked.

This is a really good show.

I'm in the middle of episode 12 right now and I find its getting worse as it goes along. The plot is pretty bland and I don't like the way they're handling the Kingpin. There seems to be less and less DD each episode. The fight in the Russian shite hole appears to be the series' peak.

I think the actor playing Foggy is miscast to the point that he is distracting, but otherwise I've enjoyed the first three episodes.

See, I don't get that impression. I think there are just many moments in the movies where you're all but too aware that this serious action drama you're watching unfold you are watching is comic book fair.
Tv which is serial in nature just like comics seems a more natural fit to me on the small screen than the big one.
Where they can easier mix the more light hearted plot lines in with the serious ones much like the comics themselves.
Though I will admit I like the comic book movies this decade so far much more than the ones they started churning out the last half of 00s.

I love DD.
