Imagine you have found what looks like your dream house. Perfect neighborhood, ideal layout, all you've had in your head for years. But an inspection reveals that the foundation is uneven, the bones of the house have major structural flaws, and at least half of the plumbing will need to be torn out. You have two options: tear it all down and start over, or try patching up these problems one by one. The latter will cost much less, but will leave things imperfect, and will frequently require new repairs. The former will give you the home you actually want, but will cost way more than you've budgeted for.
Daredevil: Born Again is that house.
The first season of the Disney+ series — bringing back Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio from the mid-2010s Netflix series about Matt Murodock, blind lawyer by day, supoerpowered vigilante of Hell's Kitchen by night — was largely produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord. They killed off Matt's best friend Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), wrote out his colleague and love interest Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), introduced a mostly new supporting cast, and set up a story arc where D'Onofrio's kingpin of crime, Wilson Fisk, successfully ran for mayor of New York and instituted a series of draconian law-enforcement measures. They also waited for much of the season to put Matt back into Daredevil's trademark red costume, focused more on his law practice with new partner Kirsten McDuffie (Nikki M. James), and broke with Marvel TV's usual serialized storytelling tradition by making a largely standalone episode where Matt in his civilian identity foiled a bank robbery with the help of Kamala Khan's dad from the Ms. Marvel show.
