This episode is about my top tv shows. It was very hard to choose the tv shows because I have too many that I really enjoy watching over and over. Here are them: #10 Heroes Ordinary people around the world discover they have super powers. Their lives intertwine as they work together to prevent a catastrophic future. #9 Fringe FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham is assigned to the bureau's Fringe Division, in which she investigates unusual crimes and occurrences. Assisting Olivia in her investigations are once-institutionalised scientist Dr Walter Bishop, his jack-of-all-trades son, Peter, and FBI Junior Agent Astrid Farnsworth. #8 Chuck Computer geek Chuck Bartowski opens an e-mail that has been encoded, subliminally, with vital government secrets, triggering a massive download of critical information to his brain. With assassins and international terrorists eager to nab Chuck's noggin, it falls to Maj. John Casey and his partner, CIA agent Sarah Walker, to protect the government's newest and most-unlikely secret agent. #7 House At fictional Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey, prickly genius Dr. Gregory House tackles health mysteries as would a medical Sherlock Holmes, all the while playing mind games with colleagues that include his best friend, oncologist James Wilson. House, an acerbic infectious disease specialist, solves medical puzzles with the help of a team of young diagnosticians. #6 CSI: Miami A Florida team of forensics investigators uses cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned police work to solve crimes. Horatio Caine, a former homicide detective, heads a group of investigators who work crimes amid the steamy tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami. #5 The Blacklist For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington has been one of the globe's most wanted fugitives. But then he agreed to work with the FBI to catch his "blacklist" of mobsters, spies and international terrorists -- on the condition that he must work with profiler Elizabeth Keen. Red's true intentions -- choosing Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection -- are unclear. Does Liz have secrets of her own? Red promises to teach Liz to think like a criminal "to see the bigger picture," whether she wants to or not. #4 The Big Bang Theory Mensa-fied best friends and roommates Leonard and Sheldon, physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology, may be able to tell everybody more than they want to know about quantum physics, but getting through most basic social situations, especially ones involving women, totally baffles them. How lucky, then, that babe-alicious waitress/aspiring actress Penny moves in next door. Frequently seen hanging out with Leonard and Sheldon are friends and fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. Will worlds collide? Does Einstein theorize in the woods? #3 The Punisher After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience. #2 Daredevil The first in a planned series of shows detailing the Marvel universe, "Daredevil" follows Matt Murdock, attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded in an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses as Daredevil to fight crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. While Murdock's day job requires him to believe in the criminal justice system, his alter ego does not follow suit, leading him to take the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding communities. #1 Arrow When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the changes the experience had on him, while secretly seeking reconciliation with his ex, Laurel. By day he picks up where he left off, playing the carefree philanderer he used to be, but at night he dons the alter ego of Arrow and works to right the wrongs of his family and restore the city to its former glory. Complicating his mission is Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, who is determined to put the vigilante behind bars. The Flash At 11, Barry Allen's life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Orphaned Barry later becomes Detective Joe West. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession - a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention - causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.

EP 5 - Avengers is the movie industry's Beyonce Intro- We Have a name now! Fringe, Lost, other things Josh hasn't watched. The Flash and shows Rod hasn't watched. The Flash movie isn't happening. Ezra Miller should have been at least Wally West, his persona is waaaaay off. Marvel gets the essence of the characters right. What was The Flash movie supposed to be about? Rod didn't realize Billy Russo was Jigsaw in Punisher. Hoping for crossovers from Marvel Netflix to the screen, but sadly it won't happen. Wonder Woman is DCEU's only real hope. Josh and Rod wasn't originally a fan of Gadot's casting, but it grew on us. Josh would have still watched the Justice League 2 even though things so far have been bad. Patty Jenkins - wonders how do you mess up huge characters like Wonder Woman? Iron Man was B level character until the movies came along. Iron Man anime was great. Aquaman movie was alright... again. Seaman was already taken. Namor/Submariner was the cooler version of Aquaman. X-men Sega Genesis was great, especially with the cheat code. But… Sega Genesis music and sound was the worst. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7ZP0O0CF_A End game is the last of Phase 3 and is 3 hours long? Make it 7 hours, we don't give a crap! Avengers is our Star Wars or James Bond series. The long runtime of Avengers Endgame could limit the amount of tickets theaters and Disney could sell per day. The Hollywood model is to have as many showings as possible. 10 Years of Marvel, 22 Movies in the making. Ryan Coogler the director of Black Panther saw Iron Man before he was out of film school! Black Panther Nominated for Best Picture. Avengers is the movie Industry's Beyonce! Movie testing Russos say nobody left the 3 hour movie even to go to the bathroom??? The Super Bowl Endgame Spot The MCU movies affect the tv shows, but Tv shows don't seem to affect the movies at all. Until, the second season of Marvel’s Runaways on Hulu? Dr Strange was good, they kinda wasted Mads Mikkelsen’s acting potential in Dr Strange. People mispronouncing Ras' Al Ghul. Noland's movies vs cartoons vs movies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j88bUiNd8vA The Batman, Ben Afflect is leaving... Is there anymore DCEU? Affleck casting wasn't the worst part of Justice League Cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGk5s0GSBhE Zack Snyder was too dark almost literally WB on Affleck in 2013: "DC really does touch a lot of parts of our business and is an important part of the strategy in how we're going to grow going forward," https://www.newsarama.com/18932-warner-bros-ceo-says-ben-affleck-perfect-new-batman-promises-upcoming-dc-news.html DC does a really good job with their cartoon movies, why can't they get their movies right? Killing Joke, Assault on Arkham, Under the Red Hood, etc. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-warner-bros-picked-ben-affleck-to-play-batman-2013-8 Black Widow Movie, Emily Blunt, etc.. Kids shouldn't watch Netflix Marvel oops Charlize Theron into the MCU? Hancock Will Carrie Fisher be just recreated via CG? We'd LOVE a Nova movie! Richard Rider, Sam Alexander? What happened to Nathan Fillion as Simon Phillips aka Wonderman? Spiderman's Talking Suit makes it okay for Peter to talk to himself Into the Spiderverse possibly the best Spiderman movie to date. Venom - Sony's doing good making money, but not brownie points with fans. Violence in Venom and re-editing like in anime Venom went to dvd fast Venom magnetic slime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW9D6v5RHoA Ending rants, Phase 4 predictions? Matt Damon is Wolverine!

Episode Notes Will there be a Punisher Season 3? With Marvel's deal with Netflix almost at an end (Jessica Jones Season 3 is still on its way) it appears unlikely. But we still have Season 2 to deal with so I sit down with Ian Kerner to talk through the 13 episodes story arch. Right off the bat, I say that Punisher Season 1 may be my favorite Marvel Netflix show... so is Season 2 another bad ass brawl-fest? What's up with Billy Russo becoming Jigsaw? Is Frank in full on Punisher mode when we meet him? Is this season as solid as the first? Where does it rank amongst the other Marvel Netflix shows? And what might be the future for these characters after Netflix? Ian and I do a deep dive through all these subjects so get ready and here is your SPOILER WARNING!Subscribe to Geekscape on iTunes!Follow Jonathan on Twitter and Instagram!Join the Geekscape Forever Facebook Group!Visit Geekscape.net for more Geekscape goodness!This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
The Punisher is back for season 2, and so is The Punisher after show, with hosts Christian Bladt and Xia Anderson recapping episodes 1-3, including that epic bar room fight scene, the tense county jail scenes, the creepy religious former Nazi guy, Billy Russo and much more! Marvel's The Punisher, or simply The Punisher, is an American web television series created for Netflix by Steve Lightfoot, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and other television series of the franchise, and is a spin-off of Marvel's Daredevil. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios, with Lightfoot serving as showrunner. The series revolves around Frank Castle, who uses lethal methods to fight crime as the vigilante "the Punisher", with Jon Bernthal reprising the role from Daredevil. Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ben Barnes, Amber Rose Revah, Deborah Ann Woll, Daniel Webber, Jason R. Moore, Paul Schulze, Jaime Ray Newman, and Michael Nathanson also star. A television series centered on the Punisher received a put-pilot commitment at Fox in 2011, but that project fell through. In June 2015, Bernthal was cast as the character to appear in the second season of Daredevil. Development on a spin-off titled The Punisher began by January 2016, before the second season of Daredevil was released. In April 2016, Marvel and Netflix ordered the series, confirmed Bernthal --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Learn more about your ad choices.

We hear that Netflix was not particularly impressed by the delivered Season 3 scripts. The writers room was recently put on hold, and we hear a behind-the-scenes turmoil ensued this week. There was a disagreement between the sides on a creative direction and possible personnel changes, leading to the cancelation. https://deadline.com/2018/10/luke-cage-cancelled-marvel-netflx-mike-colter-cheo-hodari-coker-1202486487/ Tom Holland Officially Debuts His New Spider-Man Costume Tom Holland has officially revealed what appears to be his main costume in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the sequel to 2017’s Marvel/Sony cinematic collaboration, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Este contenido incluye spoilers Twitter: @eseauto IG: elinstadepada Atrapada, o acomodada, entre el final de la fase uno del universo televisivo Marvel-Netflix, que vendría siendo The Defenders, y las segundas temporadas de la mayoría de sus integrantes, o sea Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist y la tercera de Daredevil, se encuentran los 13 episodios dedicados exclusivamente a The Punisher. Y es que sí, pareciera ser que apenas y alcanzó lugar, y que el éxito del debut del personaje dentro de la historia del Hombre sin Miedo fue la que aceleró la maquina para darle su propia serie. Claro, sería muy inocente de mi parte pensar que al protagonista Jon Bernthal sólo lo habían firmado para la segunda temporada de Daredevil, pero el hecho de que no se le hiciera tanta publicidad a la de El Matón, como lo conocemos en México, me provoca ese sentimiento. ¿Será que dudaban que pudiera ser el estelar de su propio microuniverso? Pues pudo, y con buenos resultados como evaluación final. Aunque el camino fue algo doloroso... valga la expresión. Puedo escuchar las voces de ustedes a lo lejos, expresando “Vas a decir lo mismo que dices siempre sobre las series de Marvel-Netflix: que le sobraron episodios”. O sea...sí, pero lo diré de otra manera: la serie realmente arranca en el episodio 5. Es ahí donde las diferentes tramas se ponen robustas y prácticamente no nos sueltan sino hasta el final. El inicio de esta historia está llena de flashbacks como si se tratase de contarnos el origen de Batman. Ya saben: al parecer no puedes contar una historia de Batman si no tienes por lo menos un flashback al Callejón del Crimen donde asesinaron a sus padres. Pues aquí lo mismo. Una y otra vez la memoria de la muerte de los hijos y esposa de Frank Castle lo atormentan a él... pero también a nosotros. Mira que al segundo o tercero ya lo entendimos: ese evento será el que mueve sus acciones hacia la venganza primero, y hacia la justicia en segundo. Por otra parte, será que a un público no estadounidense nos importa, o nos identificamos poco, pero el contexto de los veteranos de guerra y sus consecuencias, se vuelve pesado. Hasta que lo vemos detonado en el personaje de Lewis Wilson, el joven militar enloquecido y cuando podemos compararlo con los caminos que otros, como el mismo Frank, el antagonista Russo y el amigo de ambos, Curtis, han tomado, o decidieron no tomar, la crítica a estas situaciones se tornan interesantes. Qué escalofriante es la mentalidad y acciones de éste personaje, y provoca preguntarnos cuántos de esos hay, cuántos de esos votaron por Donald Trump, y cuántos de esos son los que están causando las matanzas en escuelas y zonas públicas dentro del mismo país. Y eso, lo convierte en el villano más temible de la serie. Sin dejar a un lado al mencionado Russo, claro. Y en gran parte gracias a la intepretación que le da el actor Ben Barnes. Durante esos primeros episodios, me estuve preguntando el porqué no echaron toda la carne al asador y enfrentaron, de una vez, al Punisher contra un gran enemigo, como el Kingpin, o su némesis Jigsaw. Bueno, pues agradezco a mi mala memoria el no tener fresco el nombre de Billy Russo para entonces ser sorprendido por la transformación de éste en en el episodio final de la serie. Por fin, un excelente villano que no tuvo que morir para llevar a una buena conclusión los conflictos planteados. Ah pero eso sí: el que los dos tengan que subirse al carrusel es francamente ridículo. Y la historia de la mamá de Russo fue completamente innecesaria. Casi todas las series de Marvel-Netflix tienen un episodio que sobresale del resto de la temporada empaquetada. Y tiene que ver con su narrativa, ya sea visual o en formato. En éste último rubro, está el capítulo 10 de The Punisher. Que se dedica a narrar el atentado por parte de Lewis en el hotel, desde diferentes puntos de vista. Me recordó algunos cómics clásicos de Batman donde el personaje representa diferentes conceptos dependiendo de la persona a la cual le preguntes. Si es un niño, será un héroe. Si es un policía, será un vigilante. Si es un maleante, será una pesadilla. O al Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-man 121, en el cual Mary Jane, Peter Parker y Jonah Jameson cuentan su versión de un asalto a un banco. Les platicaré más sobre ésto en los easter eggs en unos momentos más. Creánme que tengo motivos para decir que la serie realmente atrapa poco antes de la mitad. Y es que resulta complicado creer que estás viendo una serie sobre The Punisher cuando todo se desarrolla o en la oficina de la policía Madani, o en la guarida de Micro. Personaje por cierto, extraído totalmente de los comics, aunque con una apariencia diferente, y con la conversión del personaje ligada a la misma situación que transforma a Frank en The Punisher. Que también fue modificada. Una vez más, se ha cambiado el origen de un personaje para hacerlo más cerrado. En los impresos, la muerte de su familia fue circunstancial y por accidente, y nuevamente me recuerda a Batman. Mientras que en la versión de la televisión, fueron tras ellos. Estos cambios siempre me han parecido que afectan, para mal, los motivos del héroe. Porque no es nada sopresivo que, si alguien mata a tus seres queridos, queriendo afectarte, vayas tras los responsables. En cambio, si sólo eres víctima de un mal momento en un mal día, el viaje del protector será interminable e inconcluso. Y eso es lo que queremos. Eso es precisamente lo que ocurre al final con The Punisher. Cuando parecería que en realidad esta en una misión suicida, decide quedarse en el mundo de los vivos y continuar con su cometido. Por ello, una vez que termina-el mismo lo dice-tiene miedo. De no saber quién es, o era, Frank Castle. De ya no tener la necesidad de ser The Punisher, y de entonces a partir de cero, crear a Pete Castiglione Con buenos resultados se nos ofreció la primera temporada de The Punisher. Con algunas caídas en la actuación de Jon Bernthal. A veces nos muestra muy bien a un Frank Castle psicópata y a veces exagera sus ademanes, con un recurso del que abusa, volteando la cabeza hacia los lados. Con una historia que bien pudo acomodarse como precuela de lo que vimos en la segunda temporada de Daredevil, y con muchas posibilidades de, sin hacer tanto escándalo como sus compañeras, entregar una nueva temporada que puede y debe superar lo que ya se estableción en ésta primera.

And so we’ve come to the end. Lewis Wilson is dead, his desperate cry for help still woefully unheard by society. William “Agent Orange” Rawlins is dead too, having paid for destroying countless lives (both Afghan and American) with the most gruesome eye-popping demise this side of Game of Thrones. All that’s left are Frank Castle and Billy Russo, and the great unsettled score between them.

Netflix as become the premiere destination for Marvel's best shows for television, Daredevil kicked it all off and the second season of that show helped launch the origin of their latest show.

Perhaps Krista should check imdb more often.But the meat of this episode was so heavy that you can’t entirely blame her. References to Vietnam and movie stars of yesteryear along with a trip down Micro’s worst day memory lane. Jaime is intrigued and still pulling for her boy Billy. But what’s with this Lewis kid? And why do we have to hear about him? And why isn’t that Eddie Vedder even though it’s clearly Eddie Vedder in the battle scene? (Hint: Because it’s White Buffalo).Fall in.

Yes, you've seen this episode pop up in your feed already, but somehow the original file that was uploaded was missing about half of the episode. This is the full episode. Sorry about that, guys! Jaime finds out that just because an actor is good doesn’t mean he’s in it for the long haul. Madani is after all the information she can get, and some of that information comes in a very pretty package named Billy Russo. Frank, on the other hand, is chasing down the mysterious Micro to find out who and what this man is before he trusts him. Frank reaches out to Karen, whose hypocrisy is showing a bit in this episode. We say goodbye to Frank’s hipster look while he does his best to evade all the technology that Micro has at his disposal. Micro is clearly brilliant, but who will find whom first? All Krista wants is some diner food.We discuss special ops forces and the reality vs. television with some assistance from an anonymous source of Krista’s.

The Punisher Doing What He Does Best This week on the podcast Johnny and Brian are giving their spoiler review of the latest Netflix Marvel Series, The Punisher! The Punisher (2017) Summary Marvel’s The Punisher, or simply The Punisher, is an American web television series created for Netflix by Steve Lightfoot, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and other television series of the franchise, and is a spin-off of Marvel’s Daredevil. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios and Bohemian Risk Productions, with Lightfoot serving as showrunner. The series revolves around Frank Castle, who uses lethal methods to fight crime as the vigilante “the Punisher”. Jon Bernthal reprises the role as Castle from Daredevil. Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ben Barnes, Amber Rose Revah, Deborah Ann Woll, Daniel Webber, Jason R. Moore, Paul Schulze, Jaime Ray Newman, and Michael Nathanson also star.

(Sun., 10/29):The Deuce (s1, HBO)Created by George Pelecanos and David Simon, who also collaborated on HBO's "The Wire" and "Treme," the semifictional drama series "The Deuce" tells of the germination of the sex-trade industry in the heart of New York's Times Square. It's the early 1970s, and the porn business begins a shift from organized crime-backed parlors to a legitimate, culturally accepted enterprise. A cast of barkeeps, prostitutes, pimps, police and nightlife seekers centers around twins Vincent and Frankie Martino (James Franco, in a dual role), who navigate the sex business after meeting well-connected mobster Rudy Pipilo. Their storyline, among others, merges with that of prostitute Candy, whose ambition and intelligence lead her to a more prominent role in the industry. (Wed., 11/1):Liar: Season Finale: (s1, Sundance)Created and written by BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated producers and screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams, and featuring "Downton Abbey" star Joanne Froggatt and "Fantastic Four" actor Ioan Guffard, "Liar" tells the story of two people whose initial attraction leads to far-reaching consequences for them and their friends and families. Laura Nielson, a smart and capable teacher in the middle of a breakup, is set up on a date with recently widowed surgeon Andrew Earlham. However, the day after it is apparent that something has gone wrong, and the subsequent fallout rapidly spirals out of control, exposing the power of truth, deception and trust. (Released on Fri., 11/3):Fearless (s1, all 6 total, Amazon)Human rights lawyer Emma Banville takes up the defense of convicted killer Kevin Russell, who's serving a life sentence for the murder of a schoolgirl 14 years earlier. (Sun., 11/12):Vice Principals: Series Finale : (s2, HBO)"Eastbound & Down" creators Danny McBride and Jody Hill team again for a dark comedy series -- no surprise there! -- that may place high school administrators in a wholly different light. McBride and Walton Goggins co-star as vice principals at North Jackson High School, which becomes ground zero for a major power struggle when the principal retires. The rival administrators set their sights on the vacated top spot -- only to see English teacher Dr. Belinda Brown enter the picture. Putting their mutual hate aside, the bitter antagonists form an unholy alliance to bring down the outsider by any means necessary. (Sun., 11/12)Star Trek: Discovery : Mid-Season Finale : (s1, e09, 15 total, CBS All Access; Chapter Two includes the remaining 6 episodes that launch in January)Created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman for CBS All Access, the story of "Star Trek: Discovery" begins roughly a decade before Captain Kirk's five-year mission -- as portrayed in the original "Star Trek" from the 1960s -- and a century before the events of "Star Trek: Enterprise." The series follows the crew of the USS Discovery as they encounter new worlds and civilizations, delving into familiar themes and expanding upon an incident that has been talked about within the franchise's universe, but never fully explored. (Thurs., 11/16):Better Things: Season Finale: (s2, FX)Sam Fox is an actress, who is also a single mother raising three daughters -- teenager Max, eccentric middle child Frankie, and spicy youngest daughter Duke -- in Los Angeles. She also helps to care for her mother, Phil, who lives across the street. In addition to looking after her family, Sam tries to earn a living in the difficult acting industry while having time to have fun with friends and, occasionally, get in some private time with potential mates. In addition to starring as Sam, Emmy winner Pamela Adlon is a co-creator of the comedy series, along with former "Lucky Louie" co-star Louis C.K. (Released on Fri., 11/17):Marvel’s The Punisher (s1, Netflix)After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience. (Sun., 11/19):Poldark (s3, PBS)This all-new version of the vintage Masterpiece series stars Aidan Turner as Capt. Ross Poldark, a redcoat returning to Cornwall after the American Revolutionary War, only to find his father dead and his true love about to marry someone else. A Mammoth Screen production, the series is packed with action, adventure and romance. Also featured are Eleanor Tomlinson as servant Demelza, Warren Clarke as Uncle Charles, and Heida Reed as Elizabeth Chenoweth. Robin Ellis, who portrayed Ross Poldark in the original adaptation 40 years ago, appears here as Reverend Halse. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The embargo is over and we've seen all thirteen episodes of The Punisher. Join Derek for a quick podcast for our Punisher Season One Spoiler Free Review. Synopsis for our Punisher Season One Spoiler Free Review After blasting his way into Season 2 of Daredevil it wasn’t long until Netflix added to their roster of growing Marvel TV shows by announcing The Punisher was getting his own series. Thanks is no small part to the outstanding performance of Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, Baby Driver) it was easy to see why Netflix felt so confident that he could carry his own thirteen episode series. Listen to the Defenders TV Podcast review of The Punisher Episode 1 “3AM” from Friday the 17th of November at defenderstvpodcast.com New episodes will be released every Friday. The story so far Frank Castle went on a rampage to take out the gangs involved in the murder of his family. Nicknamed The Punisher, Castle laid waste to The Kitchen Irish, The Dogs of Hell and his former comrade in arms “The Blacksmith” as punishment for the losses he had suffered. At the end of Punisher’s arc on Daredevil we are left with a number of questions. Schoonover, the blacksmith reveals that Frank might have been responsible for the death of his family and Frank finds a memory card tagged with the very familiar name “Micro”. The New Cast The new cast is where the Punisher really shines. This is a new phase for Marvel’s shows on Netflix and it feels like it. Stand out performances are in abundance here. Unlike Iron Fist it doesn’t take multiple episodes to understand why the storyline is focused on multiple threads. Ebon Moss-Bachrach as tech genius Micro creates an interesting partnership with Frank. Amber Rose Revah as Homeland Security agent Dinah Madani is a well written, complex doggedly determined character. I’ve always been the defender of Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page. She’s used well in The Punisher with some smart use of her history and motivations. Ben Barnes as comic book character Billy Russo brings a great presence to the show. There are other great performances here but I don’t want to spoil any more. Verdict While tied to Punisher’s previous exploits in Daredevil season 2 this feels bigger as it should. The exploration of P.T.S.D., politics, shady covert dealings and yes gun violence isn’t new to TV but is new for the Marvel universe. There are times that feel like Homeland, House of Cards and Generation Kill this is a serious show. I was nervous coming into the Punisher that it was going to be dour, preachy or a slog to get through. Thankfully in the hands of showrunner Steve Lightfoot (Best known for Hannibal) it was constantly compelling. The Netflix trademark end of episode cliffhanger absent since before Luke Cage is back here and I constantly wanted just one more episode. While never boring the show does move into thoughtful contemplation at times. Episode one shows us what the show could have been in the hands of someone else but from episode two the series pivots into a much more complex show. Overall Marvel and Netflix first collaboration on a non powered hero is well worth a watch.
