I have seen the first 4-5 episodes so far. I'm enjoying it, but I can say that it isn't an outstanding show.

I'm also enjoying it--and, so far, it has defied most of the elements of predictability--but I worry it's putting out a bad message. The whole "she can only be loved by men as She Hulk." I get that they're shooting for showing off the toxic masculinity aspect, but, unless it takes a good turn late, I fear it will backfire.

About the only thing I really don't like is:

Seriously, they went evil fake boyfriend as the only guy that can dig her for herself? I called that, but then said surely they aren't that lame. Well...damn. REALLY need to do some heavy lifting at the end to avoid the problem I mentioned above, IMO.

Fits a lot of men to a T.

Agree. Also felt like he was a little more outgoing than how he was written on the Netflix series.
Marveling a gridmark Daredevil is not something I want to watch.

Loved how brutal that show was. Fearful of how soft/jokey they’ll make the new incarnation.

Yeah, he was pretty jovial compared to the Netflix version.

Don’t like the new daredevil suit… or the happy go lucky daredevil inside of it.

Damnit… they’re going to make me like lighter Daredevil, aren’t they?

Walk of shame was pretty funny.

Also, She-Hulk lives in one of my best friend’s apartment buildings.

LA life is weird.

In the comics daredevil was also a lady’s man. This is a nice turn for daredevil.

I think it will be lighter but the hallway fight scene there was definitely a hint of that old brutality which I think was purposeful.
