Daredevil: Born Again's Rotten Tomatoes Score Finally Hits A Major Milestone

After episode 9's release, Daredevil: Born Again reaches a coveted Rotten Tomatoes milestone held by all previous seasons of the Marvel show. Daredevil: Born Again episode 9 concludes the first part of Matt Murdock's MCU show with several shocking scenes and a major cliffhanger that influences the story of all street-level heroes and possibly every upcoming Marvel project set in New York. Daredevil: Born Again season 1 wraps up on a harrowing yet exciting note, and it upholds the legacy of Netflix's three Daredevil seasons.

Soon after Daredevil: Born Again episode 9 became available on Disney+, the Phase 5 MCU series received a "Certified Fresh" label on Rotten Tomatoes. As of episode 9's release, Daredevil: Born Again holds an 88% critics' score and an 80% audience score. Previously, Daredevil: Born Again's Rotten Tomatoes scores fluctuated around the eighties, with its critics' score typically outmatching its audience score by four to eight percentage points.

What Daredevil: Born Again's Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score Means

It Took Daredevil: Born Again Nine Episodes To Receive Certified Fresh Status

Daredevil: Born Again's critics and audience score never dipped below 80%, but it only received a Certified Fresh label until episode 9 aired. According to Rotten Tomatoes' rules, a show receives Certified Fresh status when it reaches a score of 75% with at least twenty reviews. Daredevil: Born Again has qualified for Certified Fresh status since episode 1 aired, but Rotten Tomatoes waited until the whole first season concluded to assign it the label. Daredevil: Born Again currently has two hundred reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Our Take On Daredevil: Born Again's Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score

Daredevil: Born Again's Rotten Tomatoes Score Was Consistent

Across nine episodes, Daredevil: Born Again's multiple major deaths were received with different reactions. Ironically, though, Foggy Nelson's shocking death was well-received by critics and fans after episode 1, while White Tiger's murder didn't save episode 2's Rotten Tomatoes scores from dropping a little when episode 3 dropped. Daredevil: Born Again episode 9 features Commissioner Gallo's gruesome death, and it maintains high scores that secure a Certified Fresh stamp. Daredevil: Born Again episode 9 also brought the fan-favorite Frank Castle and Karen Page, whose complex relationship made Netflix's Daredevil seasons 2 and 3 popular with fans.

Daredevil: Born Again season 1 ends on a cliffhanger that introduces Daredevil's rebellion army and allows Wilson Fisk's plans to succeed scot-free. Given its open-ended nature, Daredevil: Born Again season 1's finale is less likely to receive a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than season 2's potentially epic climax. When Daredevil: Born Again season 2 arrives in 2026, it faces the challenge of meeting season 1's Certified Fresh expectations, but also the advantage of developing Daredevil's war against Mayor Fisk over several new episodes.
