Crappy film

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

About halfway through the first season and not sure how much longer I can take it... the fast forward button is getting used more and more often.I blame the writers - this season could have been told in 8 episodes or less. Every good writer knows that every scene has to accomplish several thing at once - the two most important being character development and advancing the story. This show repeatedly gets bogged down in character development - 5 minutes of two guys talking about guitars and how they met their wives??? - that has nothing to do with the story or plot; so it just sits there, dead in the water. Don't get me wrong - I loved The Killing, which is also glacially paced, but at least they managed to maintain some tension.If they're planning a second season, they'd better hire better writers who understand the basics of storytelling.

I'm not normally a massive Marvel fan but this action packed fast paced thriller had me hooked pretty fast. No supernatural powers, even the action scenes (and there are plenty of them) are fairly believable. Frank Castle who is superbly played by Jon Bernthal certainly takes a few for the team.The plot is not over complicated but interesting and the series has many characters with their own stories. Brutally violent, but still what shows are not these day and the fight scenes in this are great. Didn't take me long to watch all 13 episodes, it's one of those, oh just one more before I go to bed TV series and it gets better as the series progresses.

So far the story and script were excellent! One of the best tv shows that made me thinking of the writer's nice job. Every statement and word is well thought. This covers somehow weak points, like: -how a small flame from a flamethrower scared off 2 armed policemen very quick! -Agent Madani's talks need subtitle most of times. -Casting of Frank Castle was wrong! Although I got used to him, he is much tougher than the original Punisher who was less muscular but tall and big only.

I watched Berthenal in Daredevil and felt he pulled the character off well. I watched the Punisher and the extension to this multilayered character is very well done.
