Wtf is up with
Not to say I'm not still enjoying the show for what it is. Bernthal is best Punisher.
Karen and guns? It really feels like the show is doing some "both sides" bullshit, which was a bad fucking choice with all the mass shootings lately. If the show wants to be political, make it an indictment of gun violence or stay the fuck out of the conversation.

It's slower than a one-legged turtle shell deep in a pile of hardening cement but if you're a Punisher fan and want to see the character himself finally done right, it's worth the trek so far.
Ugh, halfway through Episode 9 right now, and
The scene where he talks with Lewis is trash. I guess this version of Frank is just going to be a naiive moron without any character depth and the show either doesn't understand or isn't willing to portray any of the Punisher's main themes. Frank is supposed to understand that he's as bad as these people, but he follows a code to minimize civilian casualties and explicitly imitates the criminals because you can't fight certain kinds of people from the higher moral ground and win. This is definitely the moment where the show convinced me it doesn't care to do the character well, it just wants to capitalize on the brand name.

I just finished episode one, that is pretty disappointing to hear.
Man when David's kid hit his sister and went off watching David's face during that scene was heartbreaking. That was such a good scene. It's show how much it hurts him to make that sacrifice. Also I feel as though his wife is eventually come on to Frank though.
This is my thoughts exactly. No Diamondback here... So far. I'm at episode 8.
lmao yes. The writers were extremely hungry and thirsty during production because they are eating and drinking in EVERY SCENE
Yo I'm dead at Frank walking in on Bennett while he was gitting dominated. "Oh shit I got here just in time"

Three episodes in, and this is easily among the best Netflix/Marvel has done so far
Nothing as great as those first four DDS2 episodes or the prison stuff from that season, but still really good so far

I feel the same. Some can consider it "slow" but I'd more consider it "measured". I feel more like most scenes actually have added up to something interesting so far. Quite a few other Marvel shows I find overall slower. But then again I've only seen the first three.
I'm in enjoying it. Have a few episodes to go but a thought crossed my mind. I'd love to see someone like Walter Hill come on board if there is a season two.
Halfway through episode 3 and I'm glad it isn't just constant action every episode like Daredevil devolved into a lot of the time (which gets a bit boring after a while honestly).
Lot of really good characters so far, and even though the plots been really slow I feel like it'll pick up a bit eventually.

I am up to episode 6 and really enjoying it so far. I would watch it all the way through tonight, but I'm falling asleep.

I knew that mofo Billy Russo was a snake.
there was one bullet in the gun, he shot him in the leg, so not entirely true
The actress overacts all the time, I really dislike her character because of it.
Just finished it. One of the few marvel shows where I felt the last few episodes were actually good. The ending in particular was the best of any Marvel shows. Great way to end imo.
Yep. It turned into a soap opera so early...
I wish they'd make these shows leaner, and with less repeat characters and less dull sub-plots. Sub-plots would be fine, if they were interesting, but Netflix has a way of making them feel tacked on, like they're just for padding.
Only three EPs in, but it's dragging just like most of the other Marvel shows. :(
6 episodes in. Not what I expected...at all. Like, this is the punisher?
Overall, I'm kind of liking it so far. Super slow burn, hoping for a payoff. If no payoff, then I will hate this show.

watched 3 episodes and I'm out, Bernthal is amazing and delivers for sure but every other characters are pretty bad, the plot is really mediocre, the agent subplot is terrible, the show feels way too looonnnnggggggg and to be honest, it's boring, hope S2 will be better.
I thought it was just me! I really don't like Karen Page, and I like just about everything. I even enjoyed Iron Fist.
Episode 4
Frank is smooth. Trying to make someone jealous lol

Defenders has nothing to do with this

Thanks, I will watch the first episode in a little bit.

Well, most of the characters and plot are self-contained--I would argue that they do even more exposition in this series then his introduction in Daredevil S2. Even without the context of his previous appearance, you can follow this series easily without having to go through DD S2. It helps though, but it isn't necessary.
Im on episode 5 i think?
Love it so far but yeah it does feel stretched out. Thankfully I like most of the characters so far.
Other than that nitpick everyone else is relevant to the main story and im enjoying watching them

Yeah I thought this was really weird as well. I haven't seen much of DD so I didn't know if this was consistent with her character or not, but it felt really out of place.
I thought it was pretty entertaining. There were a few episodes in the middle that felt completely unnecessary, but overall it was better than the last few Marvel shows.
I wonder if we'll ever get more Punisher with Disney taking full control.

I started watching it last night, up to episode 4.
Damn i'm finding this way too slow. Every single scene takes waay longer than it should.
I don't like the acting in the Dinah side of the show at all, both her and her assistant are pretty bad.
Hopefully the pace picks up at some point, cause so far it ain't doing much for me.
