As of the time of this writing, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 4, titled 'Gloves Off', is the highest rated episode of any live-action MCU show on Disney Plus. That's not entirely difficult, as many of Disney Plus' MCU series have middling reviews at best, but the episode is still a high water mark, nearly reaching a perfect 10.
Per IMDb's rankings, 'Gloves Off' sits at a 9.6 rating, just a tenth of a point above the finale of Loki season 2, which sits at a 9.5. There is actually one Disney Plus Marvel episode ahead of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 4 in rankings, with X-Men '97 season 1 episode 5 scoring a whopping 9.7 rating. However, that includes the caveat that X-Men '97 isn't technically part of the MCU.
It's also tied by the final episode of the Netflix era Daredevil show, which has technically been grandfathered into the MCU, but it predates the Disney Plus era of Marvel shows. Some fans have debated whether Born Again lives up to its predecessor, with 'Gloves Off' regarded as a great sign for fans of the original show.
Part of what makes the episode so great is the evolution of Bullseye as a character, as he takes center stage in one of the most memorable scenes in Daredevil: Born Again so far, taking on a whole squad of Anti-Vigilante Task Force officers in a diner, dispatching them in brutal fashion with cutlery and kitchen tools.
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is airing weekly on Disney Plus. Stay up to date with our Daredevil: Born Again season 2 release schedule, or check out our Daredevil: Born Again season 2 review.
