A lot of fans on here aren't too hot on S2 yet online and based on my own timeline, people seem to REALLY love it. Granted I prefer S2 over S1 but it's interesting.
It was really weak, lower quality than season 1 in every aspect, and it did not felt like a Punisher show at all. Dissapointment.
To you.
No, it was almost like a soap opera, do i really have to explain it? The Punisher is too soft, too emotional, they got wrong the characterization in this season, the villains were bad, the season was slow and boring, etc
Buddy ive been reading Punisher stories for 15 years and have a giant Punisher skull/half sleeve tatt on me, the character is my all time favorite and outside of minor liberties and narrative choices, Netflix has gotten him pretty good and actually made him likeable to non comic fans. It's shame we wont get more Frank but cest la vie.
**** me, late to the party again ! I've never followed Punisher much, and decided to watch S1 E11 just on a whim. It is ten times better than any of that lame **** that Marvel put out on Disney + this year . Bernthal is utterly savage, the way I always pictured the Punisher.
Wow! I'm going go back and watch all the Punisher and DD episodes with him in them. Sounds like s2 wasn't as good, but I bet it's still wayyyy better than Disney + !
Well if you watch episode 11, that's of course when the momentum starts moving and the action begins to ramp up. But you've got to sit through some really slow episodes at the start of the series where there's just a lot of brooding, which is typical of Netflix shows where they really drag things out.
