In our penultimate episode, Darth watches the same episode of Sherlock about 9 times and still doesn't like it.

In the foundational episode of our new show we outline what Daredevil's about, why we're talking about it and why it matters to us.

The Show
(Dare)Devil In The Details is a show that explores and dotes on the philosophy and themes of Netflix’s DareDevil, a digression collection brought to you by A Method to The Madness and ZeroIndent.
Daredevil is a story about morality, justice and the concept of self. In immersing ourselves in the attitude and philosophy of Hell’s Kitchen we hope to draw in sharp focus what makes the story so exacting and compelling. Not just to praise the craft of storytelling, but to unpack our own feelings and thoughts about the ideas it raises: faith in a modern world, what we do with the legacy of our inheritance, and, of course, who we are. What does a name mean, claimed and given, and how do they shape us?
This is a careful story and so we will tread carefully. This may mean taking breaks to give ourselves time to process. This may mean taking breaks to deal with life. In the spirit of the show’s ideas, we aim to be considerate and present in our production and discussion. We will speak freely on and off the microphone. As we do the work, it makes us. And as we complete the work, it completes us, so we will not be afraid to unpack challenging concepts. Ultimately, we will enjoy the process to the best of our ability and allow the show to adapt when this may not be possible.

We begin our analysis with the first three episodes of the story. Patrick lays out the religious epic ideas Matt and Father Lantom discuss and David concerns himself with the morality play being initiated with Nelson and Murdock.

This episode Patrick is preoccupied by the underlying processes of the narrative world and David calls into focus the way inspiration is woven and reinvented.
This time, David is too bright and Pat isn't bright enough.

This episode isn't so much about back story as it is about how we inhenrit trauma and how it galvanizes into violence. Patrick is compelled by the interior psychology of Fisk and David is impressed by the tonal range of the story.
Also, this time the boys figure out their set up perfectly and everything looking and sounds perfect. Patrick

This episode the boys sink their teeth into the religious allegory and metaphor at play. Patrick calls our focus to the way conviction defines each character while David is a little cooler on the themes.
