There is no excuse for a show called "The Punisher" to be that boring. The plot is very simple, yet it takes too much time to start rolling, which makes the show almost unwatchable. Plus, there are some really uninteresting subplots, that become obstacles to the progression of the show.

Most of the characters are completely bland, with the exception of Jon Bernthal of course, which is really a shame cause he does a fantastic job as the violent and brooding Marvel anti-hero. However, the writing is so weak here, that you're feeling him more as The Punisher in the Daredevil s02 involvement.

Now, let's talk about the gore that everyone is complaining about. Well, these so called "violent" scenes, are nowhere near as heavy as you would thought, they are just typical rated-R scenes, especially if you are used to heavy rated-R. The gore of this show would be groundbreaking if it was 2005.

Overall, The Punisher doesn't live up to it's name, which is sad cause this show needed to push some boundaries. I was really trying to keep my eyes wide open, except 2-3 times that some action happens and wakes you up, but 13 hours are too much and for the most part you feel like you're wasting your time...
