"As a narrative about veterans trying to find their place in the world, The Punisher has something to say. But it could have been so much shorter, and its placement in the Marvel universe feels tangential at best." -- IndieWire, Click here for the full review
-----

"Like all good noir stories, The Punisher can be very dense at times, but in a surprising twist for a Marvel show it does all come together in a way that makes sense." -- TheWrap, Full review here
-----

"But at least Punisher's repetitive beginning is part of the first narratively necessary step in the show's plot: moving the goalpost on Frank's revenge." -- Polygon, Full review here
-----

"There may hopefully be a time when Frank's actions don't instantly recall horrors from our world, but that version of his story will still need to be told much more compellingly than this." -- Uproxx, Full review here
-----

"Despite its name and Bernthal's intense performance, The Punisher is about more than just its ruthless antihero, and proves much more incisive than it may initially seem to be." -- Vox, Full review here
-----

"Bernthal brings the kind of anger and rage you would expect, but there is an elegant subtleness to his delivery that hints at a man who can also be vulnerable." -- IGN Movie, Full review here
-----

"It's difficult to imagine better casting than Bernthal, who communicates so fluently with impassive silences, and is convincing both when he is being terribly violent and especially gentle." -- Variety, Full review here
-----

"Reading The Punisher didn't make me violent, but watching The Punisher sure made me bored." -- Entertainment Weekly, Full review here
