At first you want to say Punisher - but it isn't.

The Persian woman is. She's the person looking for solutions and trying to end it all. She's the one trying to do the right thing.

This is what I mean by subtlety. Only after the whole show is over do you get that she's the protagonist. It isn't beaten into your head. Frank is what he is.

You have to dig to see exactly how the characters map out.

And what I love the best about this show is that it is based on a comic but you could watch this and never know that. There is nothing "super hero" about this...

Honestly, I would have loved her character solely due to how damn hot she is, but I enjoyed her story arc.

She is smoke'n hot.

Truff.

But they make the ENTIRE story about her without using PC/SJW nonsense to tell it.

She isn't a Mary Sue - she loses her partner.

She isn't perfect. She's flawed - like every ****ing person is.

In ep 1 I thought "Oh God, here it comes" but it didn't go that way.

In fact I'd argue that scene where Frank is helping his buddy, all wired up to blow, is the best ****ing analogy for the VA I've ever seen.

Yeah, look back on that scene now with that perspective...
