The 2003 film version painted Battlin' Jack as a man forced to work for criminals to support his son whereas this series makes him more of a kind-hearted figure. ![]() This leads to his death but not before we get to see several scenes where the elder Murdock preaches the importance of education and being a good man to his son.

Her reaction serves as our reaction and it is handled perfectly.
