DISCUSSION I have a genuine question

Hey guys! I just finished s1 of the series and I heard a lot of people thought the show was bad. I am a casual, never read comics, only watched this and s2 of daredevil. But personally I think that the show is great, I liked the character and Jon is a hell of an actor. Why are people saying that the show is bad (for example compared to daredevil which is an amazing show also)

It’s been a while since I’ve watched it. But my general view of this take on the character is negative. To me, the Punisher is not a character like Batman that’s susceptible to numerous very different, equally good interpretations. I think, for the most part, there’s one right way to do the Punisher. Bernthal ain’t it, and the further his Frank has gotten from DD Season 2, the worse he’s gotten.
