That fight in the prison was delightfully brutal.
I think the "Karen" episode might be the worst one in the series. It's certainly the worst so far this season.
I agree. That episode was completely unnecessary to the story.
The nice thing about Netflix is that you can move the slider over to the right when a show bogs down.
This season went back to the basics of season 1 and what made it so strong; The villain. Faceless hordes of ninjas or gangsters don't make for good villains. They make for good fights but you can't have an entire season be one long non stop fight... well not unless the series is Dragon Ball Z.
And of the various series I don't hold Punisher to the same standard of needing a sympathetic villain. Because it's not a superhero or even a hero story. It's a war story.
Bullseye is not sympathetic in my opinion.
