We return during the second season to recount a long series of dramatic and dramatic events that Frank begins during his career. The season opens with Frank pledging to end the war that has consumed his life during those years. It is clear that Frank is still suffering from all those events that occurred earlier where he wants to get rid of everything related to these people during his career in taking revenge.
If you enjoyed season 1 you'll be perfectly happy with this addition, but it doesn't do anything interesting with a character who should feel more relevant to our current political climate.
The best reason to watch the show, aside from Bernthal's charisma and tendency to grunt like a gorilla when he's amped up, is the consistently brutal action.
Season two is a whole new Frank Castle adventure and all the better for it. From a solid beginning to one of the best homages to Assault on Precinct 13 made in quite some time, The Punisher is bringing a serious A-game to its latest go around the block.
It's too long and doesn't have enough story to adequately fill 13 hours of television. The many pieces of the puzzle also don't start coming together until far too late in the game as a result, and by that point, it's rather hard to care.
The Punisher's second season wouldn't be the worst place for the series to end, as it's a strong outing that'll please fans, and does the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most violent antihero justice.
The Punisher Season 2 is a massive improvement on its predecessor and even stands head-and-shoulders above some of the other shows in the Marvel/Netlix pantheon.
Though the second season attempts to redefine who its title character is and where he fits within this corner of the superhero universe, the end result is both an odd fit and a moot point.
