Finished Punisher a few minutes ago. Freaking great! Daredevil next. I may even invite The Wife to watch with me, but I've read/heard that it is ultraviolent...and The Wife may not be able to handle it.

It is violent but it is used to shock and make you feel uncomfortable, not just for violence's sake like most of us do. ;D It also has some of the best staged fight scenes anywhere. After the first two episodes if you're still onboard, you're hooked! My wife didn't like the violence either but loved the show over all.

I think The Wife would like the Punisher, it did remind me of Homeland in a lot of ways. Hmm maybe I should invite her for Daredevil...but then I would be giving up watching it ALONE in my mancave.

Watch it alone first like I did, then with her so you can watch her make faces during the scary scenes.

If your wife loved the show overall except for the violence The Wife will probably feel the same...but I give up my mancave viewing.

Daredevil is great.

I think the supporting baddies (and anti-heroes in the case of Punisher) is what really makes it good. Along with some of the grim scenes and choreography.

That whole first season episode (#3 ?), which starts in the bowling ally, was when I went from "good" to "awesome".

Right. And DD gets his ass kicked pretty good a few times in the series including a couple by Punisher. Worth seeing. :clap:

Wife and I finished the season tonight.

I'm an old school Punisher fan, dating back to the War Journal days all the way through Ennis and MAX. One of the few comics I actually read and came up with.

I saw all three of the movies, the latter two in the theater and couldn't stand any of them (though I actually liked Thomas Jane and thought his Dirty Laundry fan film was great).

I loved this series. Really knocked it out of the park. Took a lot of what I liked best about the older 90's Punisher and the grittiness of the MAX version and made a thing that's all its own. Possibly my second favorite of the Marvel TV after Daredevil.

Looking forward to Season 2.
