Not Watching Daredevil? Why You Should Start Now

Vincent D'Onofrio plays Wilson Fisk, a Marvel villain who makes up for his lack of superpowers with total watchability. He's a megarich crime kingpin; he's not some evil genius sitting atop a tower. For the most part, he's a big, socially uncomfortable teddy bear — until he gets upset and crushes a man's skull in a car door. Flashbacks to his troubled childhood give you a sense of why he is the way he is and the terrifying secrets that he's keeping. He's not easy to hate, and that moral ambiguity makes Daredevil fascinating.
