Originally one of the villains in Daredevil, this mercenary thought the only way to stop a criminal was to kill them. He had the same ideas as Daredevil just twisted in a murderous way. Being such a good anti-hero, The Punisher got his own spin-off show where he is back to doing what he is good at and that is not making friends. This murderous hero kills all sorts of thugs to uncover who killed his family. This show is not for the faint of heart, the gruesome ways the Punisher kills people will make the toughest of stomachs become squeamish. Does The Punisher live up to the expectations that Daredevil has made in superhero television? Let’s find out.

This actioned packed show also has tender moments that will have the audience feeling sympathy for Frank Castle. The love that he had for his family is the reason why he believes criminals should not have a second chance. After getting all that he loved taken away from him, the Punisher’s perspective on life becomes altered severely. The show does a great job of showing why Frank Castle does what he does and why every criminal should fear him and pray to not come across him.

Season two also brings out all the stops when it comes to the violence and the gore with most of the gruesome scenes not being able to be shown on YouTube. With a recurring villain from season one and a score to settle, both parties are out for blood. I think that this is an excellent spin-off but definitely is not as good as Daredevil. However, it is close. The Punisher was better as a reoccurring problem for Daredevil. Both have similar beliefs of justice, but they have two different methods that clash with each other creating great tension. Sadly, there will not be a season three due to Disney taking their property back. There may never be another form of The Punisher that was this gruesome ever again.
