I found the story to be well written along with a host of questions. For instance, Frank is haunted by the death of his family, relentlessly seeking vengeance on their behalf, a vengeance that is never fully quenched. The Punisher is a hero that is both damaged and complicated, giving the character depth and forcing viewers to wrestle with issues of justice and vengeance. Typically, this justice is on a spectrum between mere punishment and restorative redemption depending on how heinous we estimate the crime and how closely the perception of the offense impacts us.įrank Castle a.k.a. From an early age, even those of us that aren’t all that religious, come to understand intuitively that we want some kind of justice to exist in this world and in the one that follows. I believe it is central to our humanity that these particular themes resonate so deeply in us.
The themes of punishment verses redemption were frequently cited throughout the drama along with the subplot of sex crimes against children. Warning, if you haven’t watched the series, there are some spoilers ahead. Season two was particularly interesting for a variety of reasons. Sadly, the show has now been cancelled, but perhaps it will show up again at some point either on Hulu or Disney Plus. A few years ago, I enjoyed binge watching Marvel’s The Punisher on Netflix.
