Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe diner that Frank is eating breakfast at the start of the episode, is the same diner that is seen in Goodfellas (1990). In that film, it is used for the meeting between Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro, when De Niro's character finds out that Joe Pesci had been killed.
- GoofsWhen Frank fights Wolf, in the climatic moments, Frank survives because 'the gun was empty' and Wolf wasn't aware. However, Frank fired one round into Wolf's leg, and were the gun actually empty after that round, the slide would have locked back. This would have been immediately visible and apparent to any experienced law enforcement officer, as Wolf was. (Not every weapon locks open when empty, though.)

Billy Russo: It was just them or us. Who was better? And there was nobody better than Frank.

Featured review
Building the world needed, an episode at a time ...
The Punisher was not a comic from my childhood. No. My favorite comic book hero back then was Daredevil. It struck me as funny that two of my favorite comic superhero characters ended up thrown together on TV. Ironic, don't you think?
The Punisher as a character, made a first appearance in a Spiderman comic in the mid-seventies. I was in high school by then and was buying more music books than comic books. But ... ... I had no idea that just a few years later I would do what men in my family had been doing since the Revolutionary War, and enlisted in the military. Then, after 15 years in the military, I might rejoin the civilian rat race with attitudes more in line with a Frank Castle. But, hey, that's what was going on with me.
I've not seen these The Punisher shows save for a snippet, here or there. So, being able to enjoy these is quite a pleasure.
This second episode in the series does a better job of adding some layers to the world of Frank Castle. It also adds characters that inhabit Frank Castle's world with him and begins to give those characters some storylines and how they might interact with Castle sooner, or in some cases, later.
This series is very well made with superb production values. The money invested in the series is evident from the outset and is manifest in everything from the costumes, the sets, the stunts, the direction, the scripts, and the acting.
One major aspect of any Superhero show are the stunts. While there may not be any huge Avengers' stunts here, the ones that are part of this production are clear, well done, and believable. That is one of the best parts of practical stunts over cgi stunts.
The Punisher is my favorite comic character so I'll be watching these as long as I stay awake.
