The Punisher is not a superhero TV show in the sense that Frank Castle is treated like he is a normal man. He is a soldier, but he cannot fly, does not have super strength, or advanced technology. He is just a man that was led to do horrible things because his whole life was turned upside down because his whole family died in a gunfire fight.

Jon Bernthal is amazing and no one would be better for the role. I do not like a lot of superhero TV because of how unrealistic it can be, but he makes it feel very real and natural.

There is a lot of conspiracy and an intimate look into military operations on foreign soil and how corrupt it can become. This was very eye-opening for me because this was something I had never given much thought to.

Lastly, please watch the show! There are a few slow episodes, but two of them are set-up while the other one is for the show could hit the need for 13 episodes. I highly recommend the show and hope you watch it!
