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
Phil Abraham

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"
