In Episode 5 of Daredevil: Born Again, the series shifts towards a lighter, standalone format, exploring a St. Patrick's Day hostage situation. Matt Murdock's visit to a bank escalates when a group of Irish robbers led by Green tries to steal $1.8 million. Despite the absence of his major rival Fisk, the episode successfully captures Daredevil's essence, allowing Murdock to prioritize the safety of hostages over his escape. While this lighter approach might alienate some viewers, it offers a refreshing change and maintains engagement given two episodes are available to watch.
"Episode 5 feels like a holdover from the old vision, mostly standalone and centered around Daredevil saving the day during a St. Patrick's Day incident."
"Despite some issues with the show's lighter tone, this episode worked well for me as a refreshing change of pace without Fisk involved."
