oh well. I thought this series was one of Marvel Netflix's best so far, probably neck and neck with Daredevil season 1. Bernthal absolutely killed it (and everyone) as Frank Castle and owns this role. And on a Walking Dead tangent, holy crap, I did not expect this much blood and gore. My only nitpick other than the stretched out pacing of what should have been an 8 ep story dragged out to 13, is that Frank Castle takes so many injuries and punishment that would have killed a half dozen men, and he bounces back from his injuries almost Logan quick.

Well,
Part of that was covered in the DD part. He doesn't feel pain as most do because of his brain injury, plus he is always in an adrenaline enhanced state. |

I finished the series a few days ago. It's phenomenal - I think it's the best TV adaptation of a superhero that I can think of. I really liked Luke Cage and Daredevil is pretty good, but this just felt spot on. And I think it did a great job weaving in the veteran/society clash without feeling trite.

I suppose I need to give this a couple more episodes. The Punisher story arc in Daredevil was my least favorite part of any of these Marvel Netflix series to-date, and I fell asleep during the first episode of this one. Some high praise here. I'll give it a shot.

Loved this series, but couldn’t get past Daredevil episode 1. Is it really that good?

The only thing I didn't particularly care for in Punisher was the side story with the kid who couldn't get over war. It seemed out of place and not really a part of the rest of the story. Once they tied it into the main story it was okay, but it just seemed like a distraction until they had done that. |

I get what they were trying to do, but it was a distraction. There's a better, more appropriate place we can talk about PTSD and the support or lack thereof our vets receive when they return home.

Agreed. I liked it as part of the story when it was first introduced. Highlighted how messed up some of the vets are, and showed where each of the three different members of Frank's former team ended up in life. Could have left off without making the vets look like angry, violent, criminals though.

Without that side story, Frank may have not found out about Russo until it was too late. Louis led him (and Dinah) to realize what Russo was up to. Also, the series did end on a cliffhanger, sort of. We know who the S2 bad guy will be. |

Eh, I didn't mind the vet ptsd side story. It's believable, plays into the story line and wasn't too drawn out in my opinion. Could have maybe removed the whole issue of 2nd amendment rights discussion and it would have played out just fine.

Never read comics as a kid, so after every Marvel movie / TV show I have to look up who some of these people are, in this case who Russo becomes. Anyway, came across an interview with the writer now said they were looking at introducing some new villains from the comics and then having Russo come back in a later season, such as 3 or 4. |

His part in the story could have easily started with the bombings and the story could have been exactly the same the rest of the way. We didn't need to see him sleeping in a hole, we didn't need to see him denied work by Russo, and all the other things that led him to where he was. It's not hard to believe that a vet would maybe feel backed into a corner with everyone against him and that's why he was doing what he was doing, at the least, we didn't need 1/4 of each episode leading up to the bombings devoted to him. Dude was a spoiler to move the story in a bit of a different direction, not a main character. Anyway, I'm not suggesting that they should have removed him from the story completely, just that a spoiler character of his level didn't need as intricate a back story as he was given. In fact, I really liked how they portrayed Punisher as a good listener and able to talk people down from the ledge. It helped to humanize him, and part of that was being able to talk down this PTSD kid, as well as David Lieberman's son. Oh, and because of Ben Barnes acting in this and Westworld, he's quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. |

Started watching Daredevil season 2 because you said so. Elektra is super annoying, and makes me want to fast forward through the scenes. |

I'd suggest finishing DD season 2 only if you want to push thru to watching the Defenders later because it's core to that plot. |
