In my ongoing quest to have all my loved ones watch Daredevil because I know they'll all adore it, I have now watched Season 1 a number of times through with a number of different people. Now, I am blessed with a very engaged family who vocalise what they're thinking as the show happens ("Ooh, I think so-and-so is going to die", "That's going to be important later isn't it?", etc). And it's been FASCINATING knowing what's going to happen and listening to others theorise about what THEY think is going to happen.
A short run down for most/all my family members: they ALL thought Wesley was somehow playing everyone off against one another and would eventually betray Fisk, most thought Karen would die after she visited Mrs Vistain (that fake-out nightmare got a lot of people) but didn't expect Ben's death until Fisk was in the living room with him, EVERYONE thought Fisk would end up in a showdown with Matt and somehow end up dying but not by Matt's hand, and up until his betrayal, most thought Leland was the only sensible one of the 'criminal elements'.
So I'm interested, anons. What things did you expect to happen that didn't? What surprised you?
