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.

I'm not normally a massive Marvel fan but this action packed fast paced thriller had me hooked pretty fast. No supernatural powers, even the action scenes (and there are plenty of them) are fairly believable. Frank Castle who is superbly played by Jon Bernthal certainly takes a few for the team.The plot is not over complicated but interesting and the series has many characters with their own stories. Brutally violent, but still what shows are not these day and the fight scenes in this are great. Didn't take me long to watch all 13 episodes, it's one of those, oh just one more before I go to bed TV series and it gets better as the series progresses.

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.

Loved the comics and movies so chose to watch this series. Not as much thrown in all at once for the sake of the series. The movie had to throw more action all at once because it was a movie. This is supposed to be based after Frank gets his revenge, so a story needs to build. I can honestly say if you keep this in mind, have patience, and watch again, you may enjoy it.
