Yes, I really loved Daredevil! I wonder if part of it is because I'm often more drawn in by the villains and the ~morally ambiguous~ characters lol, and for me DD did a great job of drawing me in with Fisk, Wesley, and Vanessa as characters, so much so that I had a lot of divided loyalties in the finale when Vanessa was waiting in vain for Fisk. Well and of course I loved Matt, Foggy, Karen, and Claire as well! Whereas Kilgrave was just kind of meh to me and not all that compelling at all, which didn't help when the show was sooo focused on Jessica against Kilgrave
I find it interesting actually that David Tennant and other people involved with the show talk about Kilgrave in terms of him being charming and charismatic, when that was the very opposite of what I was getting from the show? It seemed to me like it was a deliberate choice to portray Kilgrave as really pathetic and self-deluded, because obviously he never really had to learn how to charm others, so he could just act like an impatient and spoilt baby all the time and still have his every wish granted. Which is a very valid choice too of course, but as a fictional character he just never drew me in or appealed to me at all
