Netflix and Marvel have continued their trend of making quality superhero stories (decidedly not looking at Iron Fist). It’s a little bittersweet, as I’m certain that it will soon get cancelled just as the others have lately. Still, it was an enjoyable, if violent, story.
Actually, it was more like two stories. One of the season’s shortcomings was that the two main plot threads never really intersected in a satisfying way. In fact, the few interconnections tended to be rather forced. The other shortcoming was the strange turns that Nadine’s story took not to mention that so much attention was given to her at all. I could have also done with less of Russo or Krista.
The season shines when demonstrating why the Punisher, despite being a “normal” man, still shares space with superheroes. Unfortunately, superheroes are only briefly mentioned in this season as it focuses more on a “realistic” story. Don’t get me wrong, I love how humanized they make the character of Frank Castle; I just would have liked to see a stronger connection to the world of superheroes.
I missed Micro’s character, but I liked the deeper focus on Curtis. Amy was an interesting addition that I grew to like. However, this season’s show-stealer was the character of John. I would have liked a more satisfying conclusion to his story, but I still enjoyed his development.
I recommend the season, but one should expect a great deal of blood.
