It should go without saying that they’ve faced some controversial comments due to the nature of the show’s plot, but it doesn’t seem like they are actually in any real trouble right now.
After all, some people will always find reasons to be offended, and it’s actually good to see that producers are willing to explore topics which are guaranteed to draw negative attention on them nowadays.
One could also argue that the controversy has actually been beneficial to the producers of “Daredevil”, as the show managed to stay in the news longer than many other productions of a same caliber, so in the end the producers might have actually chosen the ideal card to play.
We’re curious if they’re going to touch on those themes in a potentially provoking way in season 3, or if they will just let things run as they have until now, as both are viable options.
It could certainly benefit them if they got a little more exposure in the news (even if it’s in a seemingly negative light), but they might also want to keep that option open for the long run, in case the show’s ratings start to go down. In that case, we would definitely expect the producers to pull some aces from their sleeves and start developing the story in unusual ways. But for now, let’s just enjoy the ride and hope that it won’t come to that anytime soon.
