When I first heard of The Punisher being made into a TV show I was thrilled. So much so it was the single reason I subscribed to Netflix at all. I didn't care much for the Daredevil (and I still don't), I've only seen the prison riot scene and I was sold.

After watching Season 1 I've been disappointed. I expected The Punisher to be the same quiet, focused and methodical anti-hero he is in the comics. What I got was a regretful, broken man who when pushed too far goes into full rampage growling his way past any baddies he can find nearby. For me this is way too far from the Punisher I've known from the comics, the one who never smiled, who's one goal in life was to eradicate mobsters from his city. Second season wasn't much better. Most notably, Jigsaw looked like he's been scratched by a cat. And he got psychotic instead of tactical.

All in all, a decent watch, but if you expect Punisher to be more like Ray Setevenson's take in War Zone, this is not it.
