For those of us who watched and liked POI and then wondered what POI would have looked like if they didn't have a "no-killing" policy, the Punisher would be a close fit.

That being said, there's more than enough originality in this series so don't worry. The opening premise is similar, but that's where the similarities end.

The series does a good job of bringing "humanity" to a character that is usually portrayed to be cold and ruthless. The action scenes are visceral and gory enough to keep most of us entertained, and the twists do keep you on your toes. All in all, a good watch.
