Newsarama's Review of Daredevil on Netflix

“As for the show’s other big component, the Punisher, while much of his reveal feels like a let down, Bernthal himself brings a weight to Frank Castle that belies great things to come as the season continues. Fans of Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX will be very happy with his portrayal, which keeps his gravitas while eschewing the campiness that has,  for some reason, plagued Castle in previous live action iterations. This is a Punisher that is not just brutal, but almost sadistic.”
