I'm having a lot of trouble with Matt Murdock. He isn't quite gelling with the rest of the cast for me, probably because he has very llittle screen time. Almost everything we know about Matt is what Foggy tells us. And what he tells us is totally unbelievable. Is anyone buying Matt as a ladykiller? The only glimpse you see of it is when Karen is translating and finds out he speaks better Spanish and he says keep going, I like the sound of your voice. Other than that, we never see him charm or seduce a woman. (I don't see it with Daredevil either-- I don't think he has any chemistry Claire.) I had myself convinced that he's not at all a lady killer and those were lies he told to cover for his vigilante actions, but the show doesn't support that in later episodes. I can't quite decide if it's the writer's fault for spending so little time on Matt, or the actor's fault for not being able to portray those qualities. I'm leaning toward the actor though. I feel like Eldon is trying to sell the hell out of their besty relationship while Cox remains too aloof. Ultimately, I don't find Matt compelling enough to build a show around. For me, the decision to kill or not was better done on Arrow. And all of the sad chilhood stuff is eradicated by the fact that for all intents and purposes, he is only pretending to be blind. Which makes him kind of a glass bowl.
Which leaves me with what, exactly? An upstanding lawyer who spends most of his time lying to his friends/coworkers and faking a disability so he can have a double life. I'll take a billionaire playboy with family issues over that any day. Or a boy scout journalist with a giant unrequiited crush on his co-worker covering up his abilities for fear for his life.
