Let's talk about depression. Wow — buckle up, we're about to have fun! Sorry, but this is what Daredevil: Born Again is bringing out of me — a person who knows a lot about depression. But the funniest little quirk of depression? The meds you take to overcome depression ... make you depressed. Sure, I can get up and recap Daredevil: Born Again instead of being catatonic in bed. But am I getting any joy out of Daredevil: Born Again, a TV show about my favorite solo hero in comics? Hmmmm ... It's at this point, the halfway point of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1, where I'm not sure if the problem is mine or the show's — or if both the show and I have the same problem. That problem? We're all depressed.
