Marvel teases Daredevil series on Netflix with new motion poster

Marvel's Daredevil - Street Scene Motion Poster
With the premiere of Marvel’s Daredevil series on Netflix in just a few weeks, both companies are revving up promotion for the show in various ways. One recent, intriguing example is a new “motion poster” — essentially, a brief video teaser — that gathers together the entire cast of the series in a stylized, active cityscape accompanied by some snippets of dialogue from the series.

Debuting on the streaming video service April 10, Daredevil stars Charlie Cox (Stardust) as blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who was granted superhuman senses at an early age in the same accident that took his sight. In order to keep his city safe from the evils he can’t stop in the courtroom, Murdock prowls the city as the costumed vigilante Daredevil — an activity that puts him on a collision course with local crime boss Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio).

Daredevil will debut on Netflix as a 13-episode series, and will eventually be followed by three more 13-episode series focusing on Marvel characters Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The heroes of the four series will then come together in The Defenders, a crossover miniseries that will also debut on the streaming video service.

Along with Cox and D’Onofrio, the series stars True Blood actress Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Murdock’s law-firm partner Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, Bob Gunton as Leland “The Owl” Owlsely, Vondie Curtis Hall as Ben Urich, Toby Leonard Moore as Wilson Fisk’s henchman, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk.

Like the Netflix hit series Baby Reindeer? Then watch these 3 great shows now

Netflix’s smash-hit series Baby Reindeer is a mind-blowing true story about Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, who was relentlessly stalked by a woman for years. In the process of telling his story, it also reveals a traumatic event that occurred in his past. The underlying themes in the series hit hard, but it's also a cathartic story of damaged self-worth, loneliness, ambition, desperation, assault, and a system that often fails people.

Chances are you have probably already powered your way through the seven episodes of the black-comedy drama thriller. If you’re looking for something else to satiate your appetite while processing the disturbingly good show, put these three series on your radar to tackle next.

The task of finding another show to watch based on a show you just enjoyed watching can be more difficult than you might think. Streaming algorithms can be effective for some things, but definitely not for everything, and there's no guarantee that whatever you liked about one show will actually make an appearance in another.

If, for example, you were really into Netflix's Dead Boy Detectives, which follows two young ghosts as they solve crimes along with a clairvoyant, you may like it for any number of reasons, from its sense of humor to its flirtations with the afterlife. If you're looking for another show that offers something similar, then we've carefully curated three that should fit the bill and may have flown under your radar.
