Despite many flaws, overall The Punisher is an enjoyable show worth watching.

The key reasons why the punisher wont meet many marvel fans expectations is the very core of its plot. Many fans would have hoped for more of Frank Castle VS the criminals of New York but instead are shown details of army life and the shoddy US justice system. As a result the first half of the season is a bit of a drag and its likely less patient viewers will never see the end; however those of us who continued will be treated to riveting action, phenomenal acting and engaging plot developments.

Ultimately, its The Punishers fast paced 2nd half of the season and satisfying conclusion which is why fans are eagerly awaiting season 2 and have left positive reviews on imdb.
