The Punisher is a well-known anti-hero among other superheroes in Marvel universe but this series is not part of Disney's MCU at least for now. The Punisher has not any kind of super abilities unlike most of the marvel characters. Although I don't read much comic books, I had known the character from its earlier movie adaptations. Since I watched the 2004 version in my childhood it is a special character for me.

Before I start to watch this series, I was kind of hesitant to start because I was dissapointed so many works that are released in Netflix but fortunately, this series matched with my expectations.

Castings were great choices in the series.

I had already known Jon Bernthal from movies like Snitch, Wolf of Wall street and the Last year's Ford V Ferrari and generally and he was playing supportive characters. In this series Jon Bernthal carries the show with his performance as Frank Castle. Amber Rose, Ben Barnes, Jason Moore also were good in their performances as supportive characters. Although, I didn't know them before the series, I really satisfied with their performances. Violence dose was satisfying because we know that The Punisher is a very merciless character when he needs to be. Action scenes mostly were successful too. On the other hand, I must mention the things that I didn't like firstly, after 1st season's finale, the creators stretched 1st season's plot to the second season and it is a kind of cheap move in terms of scenario.

Villains of the series are very cliche so they lack the depth in terms of compelling villains. Frank, Billy and Curtis characters could have had more screen time when they were in the army. In the second season, if I ignore plot holes, I must mention that dr. Durmont actions don't make sense at all and in 2nd season screenwriters were sucked in some ways. I won't give any detail because every action genre watcher should see the series. It has a rare quality among most Netflix productions. If someone wants to watch an action series and s/he has a Netflix subscription The Punisher is one of the best options I can suggest to that audience.
