That means Netflix has a full slate of projects headed its way from the MCU, but it won’t stop there. The service has new seasons of both Daredevil and Jessica Jones coming soon, and it will also welcome perhaps the grittiest of all the heroes to the neighborhood when The Punisher gets his own solo series.
Given the response from the character’s debut in Daredevil season 2, the series has been on the fast track, going from speculation to confirmation in a remarkably short amount of time. And if a new batch of set photos are any indication, it seems that production on the series has officially gotten underway in New York.
I liked it a lot but I also fast-forwarded through at least an hour of conversations over the course of the season and felt like I missed absolutely nothing. I think they would've been fine with about ten eps. [Reply]

All the old computers, hidden lair, etc. Even the van they drive around in looks like it is a modern turtle van. I'm calling a TMNT cameo in either daredevil or the punisher in the next few seasons.
Jon Bernthal is an absolute BOSS as Frank Castle aka the Punisher but this new season kind of sucks imo . It started off with a bang at that country music bar but I am literally 6 or 7 episodes in and it is flat out boring me right now. I'll eventually finish it of course as I have Netflix but the college chick they paired Punisher with sucks . She is annoying as hell. Ditto on Madani's endless obsession and of course the brooding Billy Russo .
What I am trying to get at is all these side character are taking away screen time from Frank!
oh and I still don't get the big time evil religious dude in this lol [Reply]
It was fairly listless in a few places and some of the notes missed. Character performances, and most of the writing were really good. What really sets this apart is:
1. Bernthal is a bad ass motherfucker and a truly outstanding casting. Maybe one of the best ever outside of RDJ as Stark. Holy fuck. He's truly amazing.
2. The fight scenes are really bad ass. Like fucking brutally fucking awesome. Better than Daredevil and I'm a giant ass Daredevil fan. They are better than almost all the movies I've seen. There might be a little better choreography here and there in a movie or two, but I'd have to think pretty hard on if I can come up with fight scenes better than a number of them in this show.

As long as we keep it in mind that NO HUMAN could withstand all that punishment......I, personally, think they go about a mile and a half too far... (but that's me) :-) [Reply]

Agreed. Especially recovering from injury. But those fight scenes are fucking awesome. [Reply]

I just finished episode 10 and I agree. Even so, the culmination of that episode was just... I couldn't look away and it was absolutely soul crushing. Two people who shall remain nameless - to prevent spoilers - are absolutely the pure embodiment of evil. [Reply]

I moved on from that about his second episode in season 2 of Daredevil. Bernthal was born to play this role. It's a shame it is probably getting canceled just as the series hits its stride. [Reply]

Nah, it was that first fight scene. Shane never moved like that. And the bang made me laugh.
EDIT: And that fucking scream Bernthal does is 0% Shane [Reply]
