Daredevil: Cut Man (2015)
Best single-shot fight scene on TV
This episode has one of the most unusual, and thus impressive, single-shot fight scenes I've ever seen. Unlike your typical kung fu movie or action flick, the fight scene takes place in the very crowded set of a narrow hallway with only a few doors, and the the pace is maddeningly realistic. Rather than being a typical invincible superhero versus a pile of awful fighters, all the fighters look exhausted, and yet keep going.
If nothing else, watch this episode for the amazingly choreographed fight scene at the end, with no gore or surprising special effects - just talented actors, direction and choreography.
This episode leaves you waiting for the next amazing scene of it's kind - it comes much later in the season and is well worth the wait.
Daredevil: Blindsided (2018)
The best single-shot fight scene since Season 1
This episode has an incredibly long and impressive single-shot fight scene, reminiscent of a shorter but equally amazing scene from S1E2 "Cut Man".
This episode takes this show from excellent to unbelievable. There are no other action TV shows with this sort of choreography. Even the martial-arts based "Iron Fist" pales in comparison to this show, in particular because of episodes like this one (in fact, Daredevil makes Iron Fist look worse, sadly).
The realism, exhaustion and timing of these amazingly choreographed fights sets the bar very high, I have yet to see any other show come close.
If the politics and story had you wondering whether you should continue watching this show, this episode will make you stay to the end.
