I always assumed Marvel was silly super hero movies and comics for men that struggle with women.Either I'm right and this is an exception or I'm right and this is an exception.Excellent story, very good cast and unexpected twists.

Wowza that was a fun ride! I absolutely loved this series. Punisher was great in Netflix Daredevil, and the character continues to shine. Lots of different plots within the main plot. All tied in well. What more could you ask for? It was fun, violent and brutally real. Great fight scenes as well. (Take note Iron Fist people. It is quite simple. Stunt fighters) any one star review should be dismissed.

We have come to expect a little less work on spin-offs, and Daredevil is good. The bloody Defenders was such a let-down for those who like Daredevil that The Punisher is above any expectations. There is a real evolution in the character, Bernthal gives him depth like you would not believe, the main supporting actors are really good and deliver a script that is not just stupid endless scenes of action articulated on a synopsis written in 5mn flat (which is more and more the case, less so when no superpowers are involved, but still..).A very good adaptation to this day and age, very well delivered.

To be blunt, the best thing about The Punisher is that it's different from all the other Marvel series. There are no funny bits like in Iron Man, there is no spectecular Disney-type of environment to watch. The Punisher is raw and real. With a great background story about PTSD and an amazing performance putting down some believable worn-out soldiers from multiple actors, The Punisher is about coping with things you have no way of coping with. From episode one and beyond, it's made clear that the main character Frank Castle's punishing doesn't only reflect him going after others, but also him punishing himself. It's with great cinematic story quality that the viewer is shown the struggles going on inside his head.When there is no background story to be seen, there's another part that's unusual for most of the Marvel series. Brutal. Bloody. Violence. It's such a relief to finally see something different from the boring Iron Fist series, or every hero that has a Batman moral of not killing anybody. Here, you will see blood, gore, anger and relief. All mixed together into a beautiful first season.
