Thought it was exactly as it said on the label - 'turn your brain off, and enjoy the mayhem' - and it delivered. Those seeking some kind of enlightenment in a Punisher show will be waiting a long time. He kills people. Full stop. Bernthal was excellent. not looking for enlightenment. just some decent writing and plot moves that are not obvious from a mile away. these are the things that make tv shows like GOT more successful than tripe like the punisher series. even the first season of daredevil was far more interesting and successful. kingpin is well fleshed out and compelling. there's a good reason punisher never got a second season. i'm glad you enjoyed it. still doesn't make it a good show.

Eh? The Punisher HAD 2 seasons - and is possibly back for a third. Bernthal has a contract will MCU so will be in other features - as Frank castle you would assume.

I liked the show along with the rest of the Marvel Netflix shows, with maybe the exception of Iron Fist. As someone here mentioned, he's the Punisher, he kills people, it's violent. And I never liked the comics ever... I probably bought less than 10 issues in my life. I'm not sure why I even have ASM129, since I never cared for the character.

We all hope but the constant restraints of Disney keeps pulling the show back. If they can get the John wick director, Antoine faquar and the team from the terminal list, jack reacher, jack Ryan they would be good to go have jack Carr write the story would be amazing.

It was a bit grown up, if you're used to watching things like NCIS or the like, it is good but just as slow... It isn't a thrill ride all the time, so some might call it grueling. Was it worth the watch upon release where it isn't all available at one time? yes, but idk if anyone just starting now would get through it all. Kind of psychological at times or grueling imo. It is gritty if you're into that, still thankful I saw it all, but I wouldn't go through it again But that is me personally, I need upbeat stuff most of the time, but it IS GOOD.

It was a joke to someone starting a thread about their repeat viewing. That would be wild if the trend became "Only for those on their XXX viewing..."

I think that the Punisher seasons have done some of the best character development out there - Frank Castle's portrayal transcends the comic books in an amazing, respectful and introspective way. I am obviously a huge fan, but each re-watch I am always amazed at how excellent the show was from an overall standpoint. When I was younger, my grandmother (who was in her late 80's/early 90's) would watch Turner Classic Movies - and I always wondered when I get to be that age, if I'll do the same. I will 100% be re-watching The Punisher when I'm 80 years old. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try "content title" first and it doesn't come up, then try "content title and body" and I have found it to work by just going back a few pages. This search feature just seems worse than the previous forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
