Oh right, that! I was thinking the same thing. The plotting is not, shall we say, airtight. In all three seasons the characters make a lot of stupid decisions. Karen Page is the worst in that regard. I'm glad they haven't gone with the Frank Miller sexist storyline for her, where she becomes a junkie porn star and sells DD's identity to the Kingpin for a fix--apparently Deborah Ann Woll wouldn't take the role unless they promised her the character wouldn't go in that direction. But somehow in trying to sell her as a brilliant journalist they have made her nearly as irritating.
I know, damn Disney! I really wish they would write him in to the last Avengers movie, that would be awesome! But anyway we'll always have the comics. No wait, we won't because Marvel is ending his title after FIFTY-FOUR YEARS. The latest issue was so meh. I don't trust that the last few issues will be any good at all, certainly not a worthy end. Anyway we always have the old issues of the comics. There was a big sale on Comixology and I re-purchased the complete Bendis/Maleev and Waid/Samnee runs which I had previously bought as individual issues when they came out. I'm re-reading the whole thing now and it's so so good. If you've enjoyed the TV series, the comics are even better.

I actually only own one comic. *sigh*
A friend of mine has over 10,000.
I used to love comics. The Riverdale ones in the 80's when Archie was sick (??) still haunt me a little.

It's extremely easy to buy digital comics on the Comixology website. If you have an account with Amazon, you can use that. I will probably never buy physical comics again.

Thanks for sharing! Fingers crossed. But it's still way too soon to tell. Luke Cage got the go ahead and the show runner submitted scripts for 5 episodes but Netflix decided they didn't like it.

Here, have some salt to rub in that wound: io9.gizmodo.com/marvels-daredevil-writer-i-thought-it-was-too-big-to-f-1830776220So they had season 4 all planned, now we will never see it. Also we could have had the Defenders in the Avengers movies. š¢ If you want to know all the details of the Netflix-Disney deal look here: www.theothermurdockpapers.com/2018/11/daredevil-season-4-what-do-we-actually-know/tl;dr the new Disney streaming site will not host R or MA rated shows also Netflix retains the first 3 seasons of DD so it does seem unlikely the show will be resurrected on Disney or Hulu.
In other depressing news, the last issue of the DD comic came out last week, the "death of Daredevil" story arc and it sucked so badly. BLEAH! Now no more comics either, although there are some new titles coming out later next year. Marvel is being really vague and confusing about the details but there will be a new miniseries written by Chip Zdarsky, better known for the series Sex Criminals (along with Matt Fraction), so I am cautiously optimistic about that. Seriously, read Sex Criminals, not devvy specifically but it's great!

This is so depressing! I understand the concept but I canāt help but be disappointed. Also, quality-wise all 3 seasons of DD, the 1st of JJ and the Punisher were excellent...

Hi everyone! I know I haven't been around much the last 2 years.. But I'm back If you are as devastated as I am about the DD cancellation (wtf am I going to do with my life now?), please sign the Petition: www.change.org/p/netflix-disney-and-marvel-tv-studios-save-daredevilThe whole fanbase is fighting to save Daredevil => Twitter event happening just now They don't give up; just how we've learned from DD himself! If you could just spare 2 minutes to sign it, that would be great! the 3 Seasons were sooooooo devvy and I honestly can't bare the thought of it vanishing Maybe we will get the attention from other stations, like HULU.. there is a chance they could save it.. thank you very much!

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but it would be a reallllyyyy long shot for Daredevil to get renewed. Thereās not really any incentive for Netflix to ship it somewhere else, and the only incentive for them to renew themselves is for retention, which isnāt really an issue for them.
As Disney+ ramps up and HULU breaks apart into its individual pieces, Netflix needs to make sure they fully own all the licensing rights for their hit programs. The āFriendsā deal from yesterday is already $100+ million in the wrong direction, but itās not from a serious competitor so itās not as harmful.
I think the best realistic option for fans is that Netflix plays nice about the character rights and they get to live on in a different format.

I signed the petition anyway, just to add my support although I agree the chances of seeing Daredevil renewed in any format are almost zero.
I love the meme, very funny, but Disney is the real villain here. They got Netflix to do the proof of concept then started a competing service. If they hadn't done that we probably would have had at least a fourth season, and a Daughters of the Dragon series.

I still haven't watched The Theory of Everything. Hawking must count, surely?
