The Punisher TV series

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

This thread is in tv section? Duh. Like an idiot, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it in the movie section.

I think he'll make a great Frank. It's a choice I never would have thought of. My first choice (after Tom Jane) would have Adam Baldwin, but Bernthal should kill it.

Is he getting his own series for sure, or are we (presumably rightfully) assuming it's coming? I was seriously impressed with the tone & pace of Daredevil - loved it in fact. I hope the Punisher angle makes it that much more exciting.

The Netflix guys said that after the success of Daredevil, they want to expand the different series after Luke Cage, Iron Fist etc in a second wave and threw out possibilities like Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider, etc.

NETFLIX = MARVEL KNIGHTS

I'm good with it based on what we've seen so far.

For a non-comic guy like me is this series worth watching?

If it's anything like his co-starring role on Daredevil season 2, then yes.

I would suggest Daredevil would be a good barometer - if you don't like the tone/pace of that, it might not be for you. Even though you're not a comic guy, you'd have no trouble getting introduced to the characters & enjoying season one of DD - they did a very good job of it.

Adam thought season one was a bit slow. I disagree.
