Well that was predictable (spoiler)


Billy Russo being with the bad guys. I had a bad feeling about him from the start.

Also, the trailer showed him blowing something up.

It was pretty telegraphed he was a bad guy.

A shame they will now have to hide that pretty face behind fake scars.

Jigsaw, baby! Though not everyone who sees this show should be expected to know Billy’s history, I figured his reputation as one of The Punisher’s biggest enemies was common knowledge that they didn’t make that big of an effort to try to hide his real intentions. They just arguably gave him a stronger background than in the comics.

And Barnes was incredible as the smooth, conniving and dangerous Billy Russo. But now that he’s going to be Jigsaw, things are only going to get more interesting and wild.

Up to about episode six and although interesting enough to keep me tuned in...it is PREDICTABLE! Pretty boy bad guy, Frank will kiss micros woman,dorky DHS agent will die,army vet will go on a rampage...all derived from like episode two! But it's been fun for the most part so there's that😉

I had not prior knowledge of jigsaw or who this character was...never read the comic. And I never watch trailers since they tend to give too much away..

But going in blindly I did have a bad feeling about Billy Russo. He was too perfect; good looking, always immaculately dressed, smooth talking and always knowing the exact perfect response and words to say in any situation..
He couldn't be for real... ,
But the way he went turncoat on Frank (and Curtis) was difficult... but even as a sociopath he didn't seem to enjoy Frank being tortured. He could kill him or watch him die...yeah...but he didn't seem to like watching his suffering.

But now he'll never be a good looking pretty boy again.
A shame.
Oh well.
