Well. Shit. I enjoyed that.

I'm in episode 3. Had to stop for a moment, because, holy hell, that Persian mother must have smoked a carton of cigs a day to get a voice like that.

I am enjoying the show though.

I watched the first 2 with my buddy in 4K. It was amazing. Very well done IMO. Even to the point where he made the poker game douches look like a suicide. Wow. That’s good shit.

They’re handling the PTSD in a smart way IMO (please note I don’t have it and do not make those statements from a position of expertise). I read that they had to push the drop date because of the Vegas shooter. I get it. But I don’t see the correlation. Maybe it is because I approach life with common sense. But I am really glad they’re doing the character with some depth and finesse rather than just a merely mind boggling number of killings. Which is essentially what the Thomas Jane movie was about. Which I was totally on board with. But man this is good shit.

If there is one knock the Persian gal and her douche partner are not endearing. But they’re coming into it in an interesting way after

Just finished it, great show and good bounce back for the Marvel Netflix shows, regardless of how much longer they're together. The PTSD soldier storylines that are the heart of the show were really good, and as per Punisher guidelines it's dark, gritty, and ultraviolent. It's my favorite right behind Daredevil, and Berenthal IS the Punisher. **** Defenders and Iron Fist, gimme Daredevil Season 3, Punisher Season 2, and then Jessica Jones/Luke Cage if you got time.

Haha, got a chuckle out of that myself. Ol gal could front a death metal band.

Finished a little over half the season.

So far so good.

I do think the trust issues/friendship/partner angle was stretched far too long...

Pretty much my take as well, although I prefer Punisher over Daredevil. But yeah, throw away Iron Fist and Defenders. All we need is more Punisher and Daredevil.

So my hope is that the new/upgraded baddie we see at the end will be for season 3 and we get something different for season 2.

You should watch The Expanse.

That old hag is in a bunch of scifi stuff. Man, I despise her characters. Listening to her speak just painful.

Yeah. Very grating. She's a huge distraction.

I thought it fizzled out late. Expected the finale to end more like The Wire's finales used to. Dark and setting up the future. Actually too clean and happy an ending for my taste.

Puts it about on par with Jessica Jones, I think. Not too far behind Daredevil.

It was like Tom Waits gargling gravel and glass shards

Tic Tacs for my real friends, real tacks for my sham friends.

I didn't think it was really that clean.
