Struggling to get through Season 2 because....

My goodness...all the moralizing by everyone...yap, yap, yap...this season seemed to be more about making sure the specific number of episodes were made rather than telling a good story and getting there...

Also, what is it that writers just don't get - you have to give characters qualities you give a shit about either be villains or main characters....

The endless back and forth between Russo and the female doctor. Really? And does anyone even give a crap about Russo or the female doctor???

I couldn’t agree more. I thought each episode in season 1 was about 5mins or so too long. Season two they are at least 10mins too long. I’ve been watching it on my iPad and find myself regularly hitting the skip 15sec forward button to get through each episode.

I think it would have been canceled regardless of whether or not Netflix was dumping all Marvel shows.

My goodness....how can producers and developers NOT see how unlikable characters like Russo and the female doctor were and then what do they do? Spend even more time on their arcs. Like you, after about four or five episodes I started FF on a whole bunch of stuff....

I didn't skip anything, but I really had a tough time with the scenes of Madani and the psychiatrist. Just seemed completely boring, at least until the end.

I also hated when Frank Castle dragged around what's-her-face. I almost forgot her character even existed when I was in the middle of the second season. That's how unimportant she was to me.

Everything else turned out fine, even the religious guy. The fight scene in the bar alone was worth the religious undertones.

They should've gone the route of Iron Fist and shortened it by ten episodes. Guess it's a little too late for that.

I actually slightly liked season 2 more than the first, but neither were good. The eye candy spending way too much time talking was a huge problem with it.

I've no confidence they'll ever do 'Punisher' correctly.
