The first 3 episodes of Daredevil were just two days ago rated by the British Board of Film Classification as to their degree of featured violent scenes. Along with such rating, the source also released each episode's title and director.
Daredevil will premiere on Netflix April 10th. The TV series opens a range of other action-packed shows pulling from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We speak of A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and, finally, The Defenders.
Hit the jump to see what BBFC published about the first 3 episodes of Daredevil.
First episode of Daredevil
Titled Into the Ring, the first episode of Daredevil was directed by Phil Abraham, most notably known for his work on The Sopranos. Staring Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ayelet Zurer, Bob Gunton, Toby Leonard Moore, Into the Ring gets a 15 rating.
In the USA, the British 15 would be translated as something in between PG13 and R, but mostly R. Just to shatter any misunderstanding, the accompanying description is puts it clearly: "strong violence, bloody images"
Second of the first 3 episodes of Daredevil
It too directed by Phil Abraham, the second of the first three episodes of Daredevil is titled Cut Man. The rating is the same (15), and the accompanying message specifies "strong violence".
The mentioned cast reiterates Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, and it's complemented by the said Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ayelet Zurer, Bob Gunton, Toby Leonard Moore.
Third episode of Daredevil
Rabbit in a Snow Storm: this is the title. Adam Kane directs the episode, and the listed cast is the same. Rabbit in a Snow Storm gets a 15 rating and the specification "strong bloody violence". The cast is identical.
So, if you're that kind of a comic book movie fan who does enjoy a fair share of grittiness - which means, a typical fan - you'll most likely enjoy the violent and bloody imagery BBFC warns us about the first 3 episodes of Daredevil.
