Marvel's The Punisher
Release Date: November 17, 2017
Marvel's The Punisher is an upcoming American television series created for Netflix by Steve Lightfoot, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and other television series of the franchise, and is a spin-off of Marvel's Daredevil. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios, with Lightfoot serving as showrunner.
The series revolves around Frank Castle, who uses lethal methods to fight crime, with Jon Bernthal reprising the role from Daredevil. Ben Barnes, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah, Deborah Ann Woll, Daniel Webber, Jason R. Moore, Paul Schulze, Jaime Ray Newman, and Michael Nathanson also star. A television series centered on the Punisher received a put-pilot commitment at Fox in 2011, but that project fell through. In June 2015, Bernthal was cast as the character to appear in the second season of Daredevil. Development on a spin-off titled The Punisher began by January 2016, before the second season of Daredevil was released. 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.

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. 
That looks promising and... there's Deborah!

Certainly no bad thing, although the absence of Rosario Dawson from the cast list has disappointed me a bit. 
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.

If Rosario Dawson is on my TV, I'll never complain. I guess Castle will just have to find someone else to tend to his wounds.
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.
TOMORROW IS THE DAY!
Who's excited? 
My most anticipated show of the year!

Going to try and watch at least the first couple of episodes tonight. Still keeping my fingers crossed that The Hand stays well away, though.

I need to wait for tomorrow 
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.

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.
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.

They know how to make themes at Marvel!
We don't have long to wait for season two.
