- Okay, who's seen this brand new TV show? I know it only launched on Friday, but has anyone finished it yet?
I haven't heard anything about this season so far. Who's the main villain? Any cameos by other Marvel heroes ("hint" Moon Knight). Any help would be appreciated. As you may have figured out, I haven't seen one second yet.

- I'm on episode 4 right now of season 2. Enjoying it, nice and violent!
The villains are Jigsaw (from the first season) and someone called Preacher, who is based on a religious zealot from Punisher MAX #3 (he wasn't called Preacher, but has the same origin from that comic).

- I'm now four episodes in to the Punisher season 2. Am I the only one here who finds the pacing of this show extremely slow? Yes, the violence is great. But you have to wait so long for any action. I'm a little disappointed, to be honest.
I won't give up on one of my favourite heroes (anti-hero?) and I will finish the season, but if you need tonnes of action with your super-hero TV shows, this may not be the show for you.

- Yeah, he doesn't exist in the Marvel comics, but he's based on the character called The Mennonite that first appeared in Punisher Max #3.
Finished watching it a couple days ago. Also, didn't feel it went too slow, if anything, I think the last 2 episodes went too fast, in the sense that they were trying to put too much in the last couple of episodes. Overall, I enjoyed it.

- I'm seven episodes in now and I still find the pacing a bit slow for my liking. Most of the fighting (especially in the gym) has been top-notch! The Mennonite scares the crap out of me, even more than Jigsaw. Speaking of Jigsaw, the actor playing him is quite the hunky dude and those few scars on his face DO NOT make him look like Jigsaw from the comic books. Yes, I'm being a bit picky. I really love the Punisher character, so I guess I'm allowed?

- I'll admit I haven't been watching The Punisher at all. I need to though.
Over the summer the production filmed locally for a week or two right near my office, some parts of the highway were closed off so that sucked but then I found out why... streets were closed so they could drop an ambulance off the highway onto the street below!

- Not as good as season one. Some great fight scenes but I think it got too convoluted and bogged down with two story lines running at the same time. I'm also tired of the doctor falling in love with the patient trope.
