If you have the time, you should watch it.
Daredevil is not just a good Marvel show, but a good show. Period.
Also, if you decide to watch the original, only Daredevil won't be enough. You might need to watch all the other Defender shows as well. Else you might feel clueless at many instances. At least till the The Defenders, many of the villains, plot and characters are common or interconnected.
Here's the full watch order:
- Daredevil (Season 1)
- Jessica Jones (Season 1)
- Daredevil (Season 2)
- Luke Cage (Season 1)
- Iron Fist (Season 1)
- The Defenders
- The Punisher (Season 1)
- Jessica Jones (Season 2)
- Luke Cage (Season 2)
- Iron Fist (Season 2)
- Daredevil (Season 3)
- Jessica Jones (Season 3)
- The Punisher (Season 2)
If you don't want to watch all 13. Then I recommend to watch from 1 to 7, then 11 and 13. And watch the summary for others. Still too much? Then you may skip 4 and 5 as well.
Otherwise just watch individual summaries for all and directly watch Born Again. But remember that you won't feel the same level of impact when something major happens
(and in the first 10 minutes of episode 1 itself). Because you've known these characters for only 10 minutes of summary and not multiple seasons.
I am sorry if this is too much info. I got carried away. I just love these street-level characters.
