Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Creates IMDb History for MCU Disney+ Shows

by

Daredevil: Born Again, the latest Marvel series, has reached a significant achievement. A recent episode received a higher rating on IMDb than any other episode from any Disney+ Marvel show, marking a new high point for the streaming platform’s storytelling.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Episode 4 is now the highest-rated MCU episode on IMDb

The fourth episode of season two, titled “Gloves Off,” is now the highest-rated episode in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, earning a 9.6/10 on IMDb. This slightly beats out the previous record holder, the season two finale of Loki, “Glorious Purpose,” which scored a 9.5. While the difference is small numerically, it represents a significant lead in terms of fan ratings.

This episode is particularly impactful because of a significant plot twist. The ongoing conflict between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk intensifies as Fisk attempts to seize complete control of New York City through martial law. The situation quickly becomes dire when Bullseye carries out a violent attack at a charity event, leaving Vanessa Fisk severely injured in a shocking and unexpected moment.

Season 2 was already receiving rave reviews, with many critics noting a welcome return to the show’s earlier, grittier style. Episode 4 seems to be a turning point, with several reviewers calling it a game-changer for the rest of the season. Currently, the season boasts a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating widespread critical acclaim.

These numbers also make it one of the most successful shows in Marvel’s TV history. While older series like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. drew good audiences, they aired before Disney+ was the primary platform. Now, as a Disney+ release, “Gloves Off” has the highest viewership of any episode, surpassing those from shows like WandaVision and What If…?

As the series continues and the stakes get higher, it’s gaining a lot of positive attention. Based on the enthusiastic response to the fourth episode, this could be one of Marvel’s best TV series to date.
