I will keep it very brief. Major letdown.....How could they mess up so bad?! They probably wanted a new approach on the Marvel anti hero, but missed by far. The best Punisher run in comics is the Max one , from Garth Ennis . That's the rendition I want to watch. The intrigue was sooooooooooo booring. Geeezz! The action is at the most 1-2/10. The dialogue long and not interesting, and yeah ..... in some episodes we see Punisher telling jokes. Yes ! That's right! The Punisher is telling dirty jokes. What a garbage!!! Just watch the last 2 episodes. That's where we get some explosions, shootings and hand to hand combat . That's the reason I gave it a 2 , for the last 2 episodes.

I really wanted to like this series. Jon Bernthal is the perfect actor for the Punisher. But the Punisher this is not. It's slow paced and lacking the violent retribution that is Frank Castles trademark calling card.I was waiting and waiting hoping the series would build up to a return of the Punisher we all know and love. But episode after episode we wait and only see one minor gang conflict and mafia shoot out. I never made it to the end of the series before I gave up.A real shame and a missed opportunity. Perhaps season 2 might be a better but don't count on it.

The TV punisher has super healing power. torture him, beat him, shoot him and gave him some makeshift doctor and he is back again. Even though the TV punisher don't really have any super healing power or any other power. he is just angry man killing people by talking too much. not sure why not a single person try to shoot him in the head. all the cops were getting shot in the head and punisher was always shot on bullet proof vest area. barely in leg, arms, or head. And whenever anyone will take the aim to shoot him, they will always miss. basically Jason Bourne without the bourne training.

I watched Berthenal in Daredevil and felt he pulled the character off well. I watched the Punisher and the extension to this multilayered character is very well done.
