I really hate how Netflix jams music groups into their episodes. Did they make a deal with some label to promote them?

Punisher Season 2 [OT] one last ride Frank
- Thread starter Dr Doom
- Start date
I see they took all our "right after it airs" jokes to heart.
I've still got Iron Fist S2 and Daredevil S3 before I'm all caught up on these shows, anyone who's finished this can you confirm whether it makes even the SLIGHTEST tangential reference to either of those? Cause I might watch it first if not, my wife won't watch Punisher with me but I gotta wait for her to watch the other two.
On Episode 8 and no references to the other shows so far.
I do know Page shows up at some point but that's it.
There were some people on this very site this week defending those types of Clickbait Twitter accounts too.
got some cronenberg crash vibes from those...scenes...
almost binged the whole thing today. got 3 eps left. not sure how much i like the doc in this and the romance plot but overall having fun watching.

Just finished it. Very mixed bag for me, maybe slightly above Iron Fist S2 or around that level.
Like all these shows 13 x 55 minute episodes is just too fucking much. It's a slog getting through them and they mistake convoluted plotting for complexity. Too many characters to keep track of and it's just exhausting. 8 episodes would be so much more concise and tolerable.
But Jon Bernthal is fucking awesome again and the fight scenes are significantly improved from last season though the gore takes a bit of a hit, with some really bad CGI gore later on.
Also the tame sex scenes and curtailed language is just pathetic in a show where you can show dozens of people get riddled with bullets and blood splatter all over the screen smh.
The new psychiatrist character was dogshit and the main romance of the season was a total misfire.
Pilgrim was an interesting villain but also felt a bit like an also-ran who dipped in and out whenever it was convenient.
They also had the potential to confront Castle's violence in a provocative way but totally chickened out

imagine if he actually did kill people in the crossfire!
On Episode 6 right now. Why, oh why, is it 13 episodes long?
Do not get me wrong, it has actually been okay so far, but there is no doubt some shit that could have been trimmed already.
And every single Marvel Netflix show suffers from the same fate. Too long for no real damn good reason.
Otherwise I do dig it, I just wish I did not check how many episodes long it is. Just no damn need.

Whew... Episode 1 was great. I need to watch this with a bottle of whiskey. Then I can pour out a little for the season 3 we'll never get.
Russo looks like he just had light stitches. Best Jigsaw design still goes to Punisher: War Zone.
I know everybody has different shows on their Netflix profile landing page and I understand that this is cancelled... But man there was not one promo/link for it on mine.
Had to litterally search for it. Buried deep like Ms.castle.

B-but the actor is good looking we need to keep his scar minimal....
I didn't really like the first season and tapped out about halfway through. Does this feel like more of the same?
Someone should post a comparison picture of jigsaw end of season 1 and how he looks here lol
One hell of a plastic surgeon :p

That's going overboard I think. I know it's more like the comics but something in the middle would have been okay. They could have at least went with something like this.Russo looks like he just had light stitches. Best Jigsaw design still goes to Punisher: War Zone.
I feel like I want to skip every single scene with Billy/Doctor/Madani, but Pilgrim / Frank and the girl are really great.
Pretty much this. Though even Pilgrim is such a boring villain. A pontificating religious psychopath. How many times have we seen that shit before?
But watching Frank is always a treat. I wouldn't have minded following the adventures of Pete Castiglione on the road for an entire season.
I kind of appreciate that his scars aren't actually that bad because it kind of just reinforces how fucking crazy he is.
Huh?
The first half of the season is much better paced than last season. The problem with the first season is how the first half of the season felt very disjointed and lacking in a clear vision (all the side stuff with Lewis was nonsense and unnecessary). In this season, we have more character work leading to interesting comparisons and contrasts in addition to the overall narrative being much clearer.

People care way too much about the looks. I do wish that Billy's scars were more grotesque and fitting of the punishment that Frank dished to him, but they don't need to be verbatim from the comics. The characterization is what should matter.
The man was beaten to fuck, had his face scraped across a broken mirror, and has minor facial scars
People are right to mock it
On episode 8, spent far too much time watching the season today and have to go to bed now. The action scenes are great, just tons of people getting messed up in the most brutal ways, the close combat shots are always hilariously brutal.
The core storylines are a bit of a letdown, but the show does make up for it with spades of violence.
Sad that the show is pretty certainly cancelled, I would love a third season that had a better storyline and more awesome action scenes.

The Russo storyline is incredibly underwhelming, just that character being unable to remember Frank fucking up his face and hiring vets to do robberies, such a shame the second half spends so much time on that character instead of focusing on the Ashley plot line. The scars on Russo are also hilariously low key compared to how they build him up as some horribly disfigured monster, but I guess it could be more of a thing where it affects Russo picture of himself more than the people around him.
The Ashley plot is the highlight of the season and her character is really awesome, she has a great dynamic with Frank despite his tough love methods.
This season also has a weird habit of discarding characters really quickly, especially Beth being essentially forgotten after episode 1 is a bit jarring when she's the first woman Frank really opened up to after the passing of his wife.

3 episodes in. This is great. I imagine the slog starts soon but hopefully they finish strong. But yeah, very strong first 3 episodes.
4 episodes in and I only love the first one. Dull, dull and dull. Please don't go out like this bruh...
Jesus Christ this first episode is so fucking cliche I can't believe it. Most hackneyed dialog I've seen in a show in some time.
