FTA-TV THE PUNISHER

[shrekswamp15]

Only seen the first Ep and takes a bit to get going but when it gets going holy shit it's so goooooood

 

[PoopingHindi]

read that it dropped tonight at 7pm AEDT. It's up on "those sites" anyway.

i thought "those sites" all got blocked and if you try to visit them now your computer explodes and it steals your credit card details.

if the first half of Daredevil season 2 is anything to go by then this is gonna be dark and brutal and gruesome and awesome.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

There are still those sites if you know where to look.

Anyway currently on ep 05 and enjoying it so far.

Just started ep 2. We dont get many hipsters around here. Well u still dont lady.

Frank castle clearing a hood full of hipsters would be great viewing

Heaps of them around and easy to find, governments plans were yet another waste of tax payer money.

Up to Ep 04 and whilst not a Marvel fan of movies this is great.

Fwiw Netflix is about $2.50 per week.

Just sayin

I believe it was Village Roadshow that took the Legals.

About to embark on this Punisher journey tonight.

There is a lull for 60% of it.

Cheers Gas.

Was wondering why the grumpy old bastard from the vet meetings was so familiar. It was the actor that played Jay Landsman in the wire

 

[Biggie]

Ok onto Ep 2

Loved the way ep 1 finishes

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Not sure if Frank Castle or Mile Jedinak

 

[Cleavy]

I can't unsee him as Shane from The Walking Dead.

 

[Tuco]

Good creative decision to skip the creation/revenge story and to set him up as a punisher without a plan.

Have hopes for this one.

 

[vast]

Finished. Great show.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Verdict: The best Marvel/Netflix series since Daredevil season 1, perhaps better.

 

[Footypie32]

Powered through this over the weekend and enjoyed it. Not sure it was great, but still good nonetheless.

Felt there was a little too much filler in parts, but having said that, I think they got the amount of actions scene just about right. Only so many gun battles you can watch before they become repetitive.

Also got a bit worried in the middle of the series that they'd softened Frank up too much, but he certainly came back at the end.

Also, Madani is hot.

Just sayin

amen

 

[Strange Cat]

Wasn’t too bad, didn’t like the end to the season tbh

And very much like most marvel tv shows it does drag a fair bit in the middle of the season.

Still rank DD season 1 as the best, this was easily better than LC and IF tho.

 

[GreyWind]

Finished it over two days and I thought it was on par with DD season 1. Some of the writing was quite predictable unfortunately and also not seeing any of IF, LC, DD or JJ was just weird considering the magnitude of destruction that was happening in NYC.

Spoiler

Set up nicely for a second season with Jigsaw.

It's a weird but necessary plot hole that happens all through these Marvel series. All these Superheroes supposedly sharing the same universe/city, yet they keep having to save the world alone...

At least in this one Frank is really fighting a personal battle.

Karen does not mention Matt once though, you would think that Frank would have asked about him knowing what happened. That was the truly odd part.

 

[GreyWind]

Or Karen at least offering to get Matt with Frank scoffing at the idea.

But yeah it is a common thread with the Marvel franchise, just something we have to live with.
