Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot knowing Matt's name, Claire names him Mike. In the original comics during a period in "Daredevil" (vol. 1) issues #25 - #41 to protect his secret identity Matt pretended to be his non existent, sighted, twin brother called Mike Murdock and claim he was the real Daredevil.
- GoofsYoung Matt claims that the French alphabet has no W. That is not true. The French language just rarely makes use of it.
- Quotes
Claire Temple: I found a man who needed help, so I helped him.
Matt Murdock: Oh yeah? That simple?
Claire Temple: [glances at unconscious Russian] Do you really want to get into this in front of him?
Matt Murdock: He's out.
Claire Temple: Maybe he's faking.
Matt Murdock: [listens] He's not.
Claire Temple: Okay, that right there? That's what I'm talking about. Okay, I find a guy in a dumpster who turns out to be some kind of blind vigilante who can do all this really weird shit like smell cologne through walls and sense whether someone's unconscious or faking it. Slap on top of that, he can take an unbelievable amount of punishment without one damn complaint.
Matt Murdock: [smirking] The last part's the Catholicism.

I also really liked the flashback material. It seems the show-runners saw how successful Arrow was at giving great flashbacks and worked it into their own scripts. John Patrick Hayden was great as Jack Murdock, giving us terrific emotional material. Boxing has always been a great cinematic storyteller, and this was no different. And even 2 episodes in, I felt significantly for Matt with his dad's dead body. I think they have found a perfect mix of violence and great storytelling in Hell's Kitchen. Speaking of violence, the final action sequence was incredible. The long take and the seamless fight choreography ended the episode on a high note. It honestly felt like a sequence straight out of one of the Raid films.
We got a furthering of the Nelson-Page relationship that gave us the comedic relief of the episode. I really like Page so far and Nelson has been decent. While that was going on Daredevil was pulling his best Batman impression on a rooftop. ("Where is he!!??"). Overall, I thought it was a fantastic episode and a great improvement on the last one.
