YMMV / Daredevil S1 E1 "Into the Ring"

  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • When Matt and Foggy are debating over whether or not to take a plea deal on Karen's case, Foggy says, "You don't necessarily show the best judgement when beautiful women are involved, Matt". It seems at first like a funny line about Matt's womanizing tendencies. But season 2 reveals that Matt had dated Elektra in college and while Foggy isn't aware of the circumstances under which they broke up, he does know that she was incredibly toxic to him, so this line is actually Foggy reminding Matt about how his past fling with Elektra ended.
    • Karen Page is nearly killed in an attempt to stage her death as a suicide in police custody. This becomes a bit harder to watch after July 2015, when a woman named Sandra Bland was found hung in a jail cell while in police custody, with many suspecting foul play in the death even though it was ruled a suicide (it's possible this scene was a reference to the death of Ron Settles, who died while in police custody in 1982 as a result of a bogus traffic stop).
  • Narm: Whenever young Matt screamed "I CAN'T SEE!" due to the bad acting of the child actor Skylar Gaertner who was forced to act outside his comfort zone. Thankfully averted for every other scene involving Gaertner.
