It's out??? I thought there were still a few days left...

Frank executed the extra days.

Pool on how many times he gets shot this season. I say 15.

Yep - dropped onto Netflix 3am (somewhere) on Friday morning.

Watched the first two episodes.   Ehhhhh.  Second was better than the first, though.

They've been focusing too much on the extra characters thus far.  We got a series about the Punisher, and it seems like half the screen time goes to the others, who just aren't interesting.  The detective's story is the worst offender, and I cringed at some of her lines regarding backstory.

I hope the setup quickly passes, and it gets into Punisherville before long. 


Because the supporting characters and their stories are --->



They need to finally get the focus on Frank and some serious anti-heroing.

Watched the first episode and liked the plot but wasn't blown-away by the dialog or the acting. Hope it's just a slow start.

I've seen 8 episodes.

They may as well have called it the Agent Medani and Micro Family show.   ::)

Expected them to draw it out, as they usually do with these series, but it's as if they didn't want Frank to do Punisher things during most of it. 



I keep watching to see if it will kick in to the Punisher fury & brutality, but it appears they didn't want to write such a thing.  Instead we get a bad cop show interspersed with some Frank Castle The Surrogate Father.  *sigh*  WTF Netflix?

Any Dolph Lundgren appearances?

Yes. He plays a Russian boxer who gets beaten-up by Sly Stallone. His boxing name is "Yo Adrein".

He appears in the 5th season of Arrow as "Konstantin Kovar", an evil Russian General who wants to overthrow Putin.
(And yet none of the authorities seem even remotely bothered with him and his treason, leaving him entirely to be dealt with by
a small town Russian gang and an American playboy with a primitive bow)

They think they control him. Think again.

I wouldn't be surprised if Triggly Puff showed up as a supporting character.  With water wings.

Gusington

They would get my undying loyalty if that happened.

Second episode's got me 'interested'. Not in Love, but not, not in Love either. This is how DD got me started though. Great NYC scenery though.  O0

Sounds great...

It was one of the best things about that season, and better than it sounds (despite the legitimate plot weaknesses listed -- although the gang wasn't small-town, it was supposed to be a major Russian mafia group. Led by a version of the Batman villain known in the comics as the KGBeast, who is Green Arrow's sometime-ally, but who amazingly is not Lundgren's character. ;) )
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...

PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
