"Daredevil: Cut Man" is a brilliant episode, matching in quality and storytelling with the best "Breaking Bad" episodes, "Oldeuboi", "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight".
We see Daredevil close to death after a failed rescue attempt. He is pulled out of a dumpster and healed by Claire, a health professional, who decides to save the legend she has heard rumors about, risking her own life in the process.
During healing, Matt Murdock has flashbacks of his childhood, setting up his origin, and what really makes him tick. We see his father portrayed as a tragic and noble figure.
And when Matt is finally able to rise from his fall, some of the most dramatic and awesome action sequences ever seen in a movie or TV follow.
It is impossible not to root for Daredevil after this episode. As part of the Marvel cinematic universe, it overshadows all the movies, and matches that brilliant episode in the first season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" that ties in with "Winter Soldier".
This show leaves you emotionally exhausted, in a good way.
