After seeing the movies with Dolph Lundgren, Tom Jane and Ray Stevenson, I was looking forward to seeing the new series. I liked Jon Bernthal in the few things I saw with him (THE WALKING DEAD and WIND RIVER) and I really don't see anything wrong with his portrayal as Frank Castle aka the Punisher. However, this is NOT the Punisher. First of all, it drifts off to many times that I asked myself was I still watching the Punisher? Or was is The Super Agent Madani Show? Secondly it got overloaded with SJW crap. A few examples: the female lead is a muslim Iranian Special agent Dinah Madani from DHS, investigating how the "forces of evil" - namely the CIA and the US Army - tortured and killed a poor muslim in Afghanistan. There's an NRA fanboy who is your perfect liberal portrayal of an NRA member: old, white, fat, all talk, no balls, constantly on about the Second Amendment and how our rights are slowly being taken away, but in the face of confrontation he is a coward. Yeah. The plot drags on and is really predictable. Suspense? nuh-uh. Not here. Action? I remember some in episode 1 and 5. Hey look, I like a good thriller and conspiracy thriller - but I like my Punisher like the two later movies, stick to the action, the tragic figure and keep out your SJW BS. We've got enough Hollycrap movies for that.
