In April 2016, Marvel and Netflix ordered the series, confirmed Bernthal's involvement, and announced Lightfoot as executive producer and showrunner. Filming began in New York City in October 2016, and concluded in April 2017.

Michael* Posted September 27, 2017 Author Posted September 27, 2017 This should be pretty good. The trailer makes it look exactly like what I'd expect and want a Punisher show to look like, so I hope it delivers. Hope they don't try too hard to shoehorn The Hand in there somehow. Quote
Enrico_sw Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 That looks promising and... there's Deborah! Quote

Michael* Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 Turns out we don't have long to wait for this to arrive on Netflix, it was confirmed today that all the episodes will be released in the middle of November. The second full trailer just dropped too. Quote

I guess Castle will just have to find someone else to tend to his wounds. Quote
Michael* Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 So, I couldn't help noticing that the recently-announced release date for this (November 17) just so happens to coincide with the opening of a certain DC/Warners project in the US and UK. Quote

ThePinkDiet Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 How's the bindge going? I would have finished it by now if it wasn't that I'm watching it with my best friend and it's not always easy to combine work shifts free hours and stuff btw, I'M LOVING IT. Saw episode 10 last night and I swear to God I can't stop thinking about how amazing it was. It gave me all kinds of emotions. The cast is too talented. Quote

You're a little ahead of me then, I'm only up to the eighth episode. I'm enjoying it so far, though. I would say, out of all Marvel's Netflix offerings up to now, this might boast the best structuring, with no pointless episodes or boring subplots. The subplots we do get are very interesting, and one in particular feels like an incredibly relevant social commentary. No sign of the Hand either, so really, I couldn't have asked for much more.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's different from any other Marvel Netflix has produced to me. It's really intelligent and the writing... My God. I wanna take a pen while eatching every episode because there's always a quote that strikes deep into my heart! So so so good. Quote
toodarnhot Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 I'm just about to start episode 11. So far really loving the series, although I personally find some of the violence a little hard to stomach but I can be kind of sensitive to that in general. I am madly, madly, madly in love with Dinah. The actress that plays her is so unbelievably gorgeous. Quote
Michael* Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 We don't have long to wait for season two. Quote
