Episode 1 started excellent, though not having watched Daredevil I was a little confused as to the back story. Never mind- I Love the dark complicated Punisher character, the acting and cinematography were fantastic- and the action was brilliant.

Fast forward to episode 4 and it's like nothing interesting has happened since. The plot trudges on and on ever so slowly and the whole show has become a second-rate law drama. endless boring dialogues, the plot has barely progressed, and the secondary characters are oh so boring. Even the superb action sequences from previous episodes are practically gone, with a sub-par car chase sequence (which is one of the worst car chase edits I've seen in recent memory) constituting the action for this particular episode. I really hope this picks up soon, because the promise was so good. But I don't know if I will make it, since here I am, writing a review in the middle of an episode in an attempt to share and alleviate the boredom caused by it...

If you like crime thrillers or slow paced drama, then The Punisher might be for you. If you where looking for a dynamic fast paced high octane superhero show- then do (by all means) watch the first episode, and nothing more.
