I just finished a marathon of all 13 episodes. This was the season I had hoped for the first go around. The finale especially is bad ass. And now I’m dragging my tired butt off to bed. [Reply]
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]
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]

No guarantee it will be cancelled. Punisher second season has much better viewership than second season of Cage,Iron Fist and third season of Daredevil. [Reply]
