This is not a political thriller. It might have been written like one, but the direction sucks. This comes across more like a West Wing show than something like NCIS. When Frank or Karen isn't in a scene, it draaaaggggggs. The other characters just suck and are not written or acted well at all. And the plot is not straight forward at all. It's a mess. And what we got was nothing like the trailer. Think all you want, but in the end, it's my opinion that counts on what jives or not. This show sucked. I guess I was spoiled by the latest Netflix show, Stranger Things, and that had me raised the bar high, and Punisher failed to hit that bar miserably.
I said it was advertised as a military conspiracy thriller not a political thriller. You keep saying we didn't get what was advertised. The trailers showed Madani's investigation, Frank Castle's past, his family's murder, the larger conspiracy tying all that together, and various action scenes. So what exactly did the trailers advertise that we didn't get?
And have you ever watched West Wing or did you just pull that dumb comparison out of your ass? Also, NCIS isn't a political thriller.
