DTVP13 Daredevil Shadows In The Glass

Our full compliment of Defenders returned to chat about our top moments from Daredevil Shadows in the Glass Episode 8 of the Netflix TV series in the thirteenth episode of Defenders TV Podcast.

We discuss the secret origins of Wilson Fisk, his motivations (and his cuff links), as a troubled childhood and a brutal one-off action starts him along the path to his position we see today. This is set amongst increasing pressure from all the crime syndicate members Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), Leland Owlsley (Bob Gunton) and Madame Gau (Wai Ching Ho) who are displeased with the interference of the masked vigilante in to their criminal affairs. In particular, Madame Gau who turns up a Fisk’s door to offer him caution and also allows us a glimpse in to her intriguing character. As these pressures begin to take their toll on Fisk his friend Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore) and partner Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) rally to support and to offer advice that leads to Wilson Fisk moving from the shadows and in to the light. Unknown to Fisk and his partners his actions thwart a plan to expose him through the New York Bulletin by Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) after an unexpected meeting with the masked vigilante.
