An obsession with Daredevil
So, for anyone who didn’t know (and seriously… have you been living under a rock?) the 2nd season of Daredevil is on Netflix! If you’ve watched the 1st season, you know all the reasons why this is so exciting. If you haven’t, well you definitely have some catching up to do. There’s a lot to love about Matt Murdock.
