Yup I agree with Riddick’s opinion.
Yeah because critics and reviews is something that was created in the past 5 years...
There NEVER were people influenced by reviews or critics ever on earth until the internet existed.

Screw it from now on people should just invest in the stock market with ZERO research! Just plunge right in.
Yup, i’m now buying cars with ZERO research, reviews and feedback.
I’m taking a trip to Asia blindly as well, i’ll just go and discover which are the safe and unsafe neighborhoods on my own lol

Grace hates it
She was given the first 6 to review and she stopped at 3 to give her thoughts but hasn’t got the binge urge to continue because it’s very boring.
She said only good thing is Bernthal’s acting.
She also said:
Too much talking and not enough action in the fist 3 but when it does happen it’s glorious to behold.
Military scenario and bad guy cliches are horrible. (historically she really hates it when US military are made to look like villains in any movie)
No connection to other Netflix shows other than Karen for a little bit.
Enjoy:
I was a bit worried about this from the previews.. I don;t want the military as the "big Bad" either.. Mostly because I like The Punishers origins in the comics.. If the Military is responsible for the death of his wife and kids then what happens when he gets his revenge on the military personal you did it? Does he stop punishing the criminals..
Whole point of comics was that he took his revenge on the criminals because it was a criminal / mafia war that took his family out.
I guess Disney thinks it is safe to make the military the bad guy rather then risk offending someones ethnic group or cultures.
As for being "boring" Will have to wait and see for myself.
Again I will wait and see for myself.. Having said that.. Both Daredevil seasons and Jessica Jones are a bit too talky at times.
These shows should be about 40 to 45 min long.. But they fill in the extra 15 min with some boring dialogue at times.. I could have done without all subplots involving Foggy and Karen.
Season 2 of Daredevil did Frank perfectly and it will be a shame if the series screws it up.
Lots of action or 80's feel. Are you nuts???
I expect the same Daredevil thing - lots of edgy brooding, lots of great dialogs and occasional TV action in-between.
This isn't Disney MCU. This isn't even Lionsgate's production. Pull your heads out of your asses, folks!
If this follows the Daredevil recipe then I will be happy. I don;t need non stop action.. But I hope when the action hits its brutal and awesome!
I thought there was plenty of Punisher action in season 2 and he was not the main character.. Of course now that he is the main character I expect the action to be comparable

I feel like the best way for The Punisher to exist is in a vacuum outside of everything else. Honestly, in an age full of mass shootings and pointless violence, I feel like the best way to approach a character like Castle is as he was created: a Vietnam vet.
Trying to update him to reflect the changing world only seems to cause more problems and stray further and further from the original intent of the character, but, if you take somebody like Castle and you transpose him onto the backdrop of New York City in the 1980s, where he’s like Bernie Goetz on HGH, then, I feel like you can really do the character justice. I mean, Times Square, now, has become Disneyfied to the point where a guy like Castle walking around shooting gangsters just isn’t in the cards, but back in the day? With the hookers and the porno theaters and the pumps and dealers on every corner. It’s a concrete jungle, and The Punisher is the ****ing king Lion.

Punisher pwned by Lion King
An ilusion created by the duration of those action scenes.
The action takes less than 20% of every season's running time.
Agreed... Not a lot of action but what there was was great... That is what I want.
BTW there was another review site, Collider I think... They Loved the first six episodes and have said its flawless.

Who cares tho? Certainly not Netflix.
The amount of views is their box office so as long as we watch these shows they'll make more.

I don't believe Grace's boring assessment and sure don't believe someone saying it is flawless.

Nope I will watch for myself and be thankful I am able to see a great interpretation on screen. Nothing is perfect but as long as the story is interesting and the tone is what I expect for the punisher then I will be happy.

I care in only that I enjoy the hype machine.. I mean if we really did not care about any of this then why talk about it or post about it before the show has even started??
Plus it was nice to hear some positive reactions after the negative ones
Come on man... We all love the Hype machine
I actually think they said near flawless and that it is the best so far of the Marvel shows.
I used to. Now it just makes me sad because in 99% it leaves me disappointed.
