( CNN ) Justice may be blind , but it 's easy to see that Marvel 's `` Daredevil '' is already a hit with fans . The pitch-black-dark new series streamed its entire first season on Netflix on Friday morning , and the early word is quite good . Charlie Cox is perfectly cast as blind attorney Matt Murdock , whose nights are consumed with cleaning up the New York neighborhood of Hell 's Kitchen while dressed in a black ninjaesque outfit . As the season unfolds , he heads toward a confrontation with Vincent D'Onofrio 's Wilson Fisk , a.k.a . the Kingpin . Two love interests enter Murdock 's life in the form of Karen Page ( Deborah Ann Woll ) and Claire Temple ( Rosario Dawson ) . Oh , and there 's that red suit . So what do critics think ? Quite a lot , with 94 % giving it positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes . `` Marvel 's 'Daredevil , ' Netflix 's latest offering , is a well-scripted , beautifully acted superhero saga that is surprisingly impressive , '' said the Philadelphia Inquirer 's Tirdad Derakhshani . `` The series stays incredibly faithful to Daredevil 's pulp roots and does something delightfully unexpected -- trust its fans enough to spare us a long , drawn-out origin story , '' said Sadie Gennis of TV Guide . Early risers on Twitter praised the show as well , especially Cox 's performance , as well as a drawn-out , well-choreographed fight scene in episode 2 . Does Netflix have a `` House of Cards '' -like hit on its hands ? Time will tell .
