    What makes this season of “The Punisher” work so well is that it feels less like a Season 2 and more like a Season 5, a standalone story in the established adventures of Frank Castle.

    Even though there's a new villain this season, he's hardly worth mentioning; for all the similarities between the angry men, The Punisher is still defined by the central relationship between Frank and Billy Russo, and that is probably the way it should be.

The Punisher is reduced from this compelling character to a cardboard cutout that simply finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. Continuing the Jigsaw storyline from season 1 was a massive mistake. The subplots, once again, are a huge weakness for this show and the new characters lack the magic that the original characters had.

    I'll be glad when they cancel this show because the only good thing about it is Jon. The writing is a freaking mess and it's ruined the show.    … Full Review »

Everyone knows Frank Castle is alive (again) but nobody seems to bat an eyelash. Just not very realistic this time around.

    Hard pass for me.    … Full Review »

    Compared to season 1 it's bad really bad, we follow a 16 year old girl controlling Frank and on the top of that she hates white man what a surprise.
