Daredevil (Rabbit in a Snowstorm)

“Daredevil” is merely bad up until this point, a soulless retread of grimdank stereotypes hoping to ape then-recent acclaimed crime thrillers without realizing “The Wire” was beloved for reasons besides its willingness to depict gruesome violence towards (and involving) children. “Snowstorm” is the show’s big bet that it can cash in on the nonexistent goodwill it earned up until that point, and the vulgar brutality at the center of its climax rings hollow even as it disturbs, like running across a video of a dog getting its head beat in on a sweet aunt’s Facebook feed. The series dies here.
