Born Again Rotten Tomatoes Score Passes The Lowest-Rated Season Of The Original Netflix Series (But Its Audience Score Has Dropped)

After episodes 5 and 6, Daredevil: Born Again‘s critics and audience scores go through some changes on Rotten Tomatoes, making the MCU’s show rankings move slightly. Daredevil: Born Again episodes 5 and 6 pick up speed as Wilson Fisk launches his all-out war against vigilantism while Daredevil confronts Muse in the villain’s own secret lair. Episodes 5 and 6 provide what may be the clearest proof of Daredevil’s “Man Without Fear” qualities, with Matt Murdock singlehandedly stopping a bank heist and thwarting Muse’s attempt to kill Angela del Toro.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Daredevil: Born Again‘s critics’ score rises to 87%, while its audience score drops to 80%. This change may be small, but Daredevil: Born Again‘s latest scores place Daredevil: Born Again‘s 87% Tomatometer above Daredevil season 2’s 81%, and its 80% Popcornmeter below that of all three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil. Check out the breakdown below:

What Daredevil: Born Again’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Changes Mean

Daredevil: Born Again Has Been Well-Received, But The Bar Is Still Too High

Daredevil: Born Again needs at least ten percentage points to reach Daredevil season 3’s critics’ score and at least six to reach Daredevil season 3’s audience score. While this difference may seem small, the reality is that Netflix’s three seasons of Daredevil left the bar extremely high. For instance, Daredevil season 1 holds an impressive 99% critics’ score and a 93% audience score ten years after its release. Daredevil season 2’s critics’ score is the lowest of the three, at 81%, and Daredevil season 3’s audience score is the lowest of the three, at 86%.
