First of all, this should've been 8 episodes. 10 tops.

Second.. Admittedly, this was way better than any of its predecessors on Netflix.

Third.. More violent than the other Marvel series. BUT, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN EVEN MORE VIOLENT THROUGHOUT!!! The Punisher is violent!!! All the time!!! The story is there, BUT with The Punisher THE VIOLENCE COMES FIRST!! This is a mediocre job. It could've been so much better.

Here's an idea: Why not include a mini-side story for every episode ending with a brutal altercation between Castle and some criminal scum element? The writing was better than before, but still not good enough. More dynamic, but still not dynamic enough.

The overall average rating is way too high.. 9.3?! Really?! People just throw around big ratings like its masterpieces all over the place. 6.5/10 and I'm being generous.
