Jack W @jackwww57 Jan 23 I like this show a lot , but …… There is this element in original content produced by streaming services. It’s called Plot Repetition. The story is simplified and the plot point are repeated over and over. This makes the show much slower and boring. It’s especially true for this type of show that should be fast paced and exciting.

After giving the series a chance, that initial assessment proved to be correct. His presence on screen is that of a smaller, less-built man, his acting style is far too animated/neurotic, and he simply doesn't give off any sort of cold, calculating, unstoppable "Punisher" vibe like the actors that have come before him in this role (admittedly, Thomas Jane wasn't the best Frank Castle either, but still much better than Bernthal). If the show were written and directed better, I could have possibly looked past the poor casting choice for Frank, but the writing in this series is just awful and truly lacks an understanding of how The Punisher typically operates. It is clear that the writers of this series were not fans of the original Punisher comics, and likely never even opened one. I had to turn it off toward the end of the third episode where Frank walks into a warehouse using a hand grenade as a bluff to speak a few meaningless words to 3 bad guys that are about to torture or execute another man that is blindfolded and tied up in a chair. Frank then throws the grenade (which is a fake/dud) at their feet and runs behind some boxes, narrowly avoiding getting gunned down in the back, so that he can then proceed to kill all three of them in a poorly directed gun fight. What a joke. The Punisher would never make a Hollywood nonsense entrance like this, especially without any purpose for it at all. Rather, we would likely see the power go out in the warehouse and all three men shot dead in a few seconds with Frank Castle coming down from the rafters after clearing the room. This show could have had a lot of potential with a better lead actor and better writers. A shame.

This show is extremely successful in presenting The Punisher as portrayed in the comics. The character is very relatable, but in his most violent moments, he becomes an unrelatable monster. This is extremely accurate for the character, and I give this show lots of praise for being able to capture that. I also really love how the lighting was changed to cast shadows on Frank's face that perfectly captures the comic book imagery. See more Read all reviews
