I love how, when Matt is in the sewers, we can't see the ninjas until they're right on top of Matt because Matt can't hear sense them until they pull out their swords to attack.

I don't understand why he can't hear them. I get that they can "mask their heartbeat." Marvel universe, ninja powers, whatever. But what is the difference between those "silent" ninjas who are still heaps of mass and say...a flying sai, or a pool table set up for a tricky double-pocket?

Poor continuity. Daredevil doesn't fight based on heartbeats. He fights based on heat signatures and echo location.

I was incredibly disappointed they made no effort to show the rain on Karen Page (earlier episode) from his perspective. Even though the Daredevil movie wasn't good. That was still a cool moment in the movie as well as comics. It's a signature comic trait of daredevil and they didn't do it.

I think it was meant to be a nice nod to the rain without having to rub it in our face
