I was skeptical because Daredevil has traditionally sucked on screen, but the first episode was very well done. Strong Frank Miller vibe. Will be binge watching this.

I'm three episodes in, and have mixed feelings so far.

I'm liking Private Pyle as Kingpin.

I think I was in the same boat you were after the first three episodes, but I got hooked with the way the handled the Russians and Kingpin starting the fourth episode. IMHO they don't let up, and I've never seen Kingpin handled better.

They dropped a hint about Elektra-- hopefully she and Bullseye will be the focus of the second series.

I won't lie, I cracked a big fanservice grin when Foggy asked "Whatever happened to that Greek girl?"

And Vincent D'Onofrio is doing what he does best: acting both tortured and menacing at the same time. Pretty solid casting choices in this series.

This show was quite good overall, but the Kingpin was the high point.

The spin-flip bullshit in the fight scenes was the worst part, but that's to be expected in something like this. You could usually ignore it.
