The hits just keep coming for the various Defenders series. Per Deadline Hollywood, Netflix announced this evening that it has canceled Daredevil, just weeks after the show concluded its critically acclaimed third season. This news shouldn't be too surprising, but this one is a particularly tough blow for fans.
Clearly Netflix is cleaning house, since this follows surprise cancellations in October of Iron Fist and Luke Cage. That just leaves Jessica Jones and The Punisher on Netflex's[sic] roster of Defenders. Both have new seasons in the pipeline that are currently slated to air on Netflix as planned, according to Deadline's sources. But they will, in all likelihood, be on the chopping block eventually as well.
Marvel/Disney may be planning to revive the Defender series on its upcoming streaming service.

I'll share why we quit watching Daredevil after about 1.2 seasons: it was unpleasantly violent and brutal. We liked the characters, we liked the storyline, the acting and production quality were excellent, the high quantity of on screen brutality and violence was simply unpleasant to watch.
While we're on Netflix, I'll throw in a random plug for Norway's SlowTV - the Bergen train is the classic, but the Telemark boatride has a whole other level of cultural edutainment thrown in. The knitting competition was a little weird, and the poetry during the fireplace was a lot weird, but, overall it's a whole different kind of video entertainment - like casual gaming, you don't feel bad nor miss too much if you step away for a few minutes, or hours - and when you do, then you have an excuse to watch it again ;-)
