Fight or Flight

Episode two of season two of The Punisher.

After a killer season premiere, where we see our Frank helping a girl in serious trouble, we got here: Frank dealing with a rebel and annoying kid.

Yeah, it's been only two episodes and this mysterious girl already pissed me off too many times. All we know is it's all about some photos the kid has, and the people who are trying to catch her is big. Nothing more. Madani and Billy are back on this one, and I am really curious about Bill this time and what's really in his mind.

As we all know, the first season was amazing but it went slow at the middle of it and I has the feeling this is going to happen again. Too bad, right? Plus, my God that kid... I hope they solve this story quick and later center only on Jigsaw.

Berenthal indeed owns the character of Frank Caste\Punisher. No question. However the rest is pretty standard fare with cardboard cut out bad guys n' gals

Beth is \was a solid good match for Frank and a good character. Rachel is annoying. Just plain annoying. I'd rather watch Frank protect Beth and her son than bother with a lying ungrateful wrench.

Billy Russo has not yet manifested as the villain Jigsaw. With 12 episodes I imagine he will mid-way and the series will shift focus. Maybe the Rachel horsepoop will be resolved, Frank will check back in with Beth, and then boom Russo!

Girl's getting annoying. Just leave her, Frank! Geez.

A slower episode, this one, more focused on character building and a lot of it set in a motel room. It has its moments and still holds the attention throughout.

Hindered by the introduction of an underwhelming character and some progression loss, "Fight or Flight" dialled it down to focus on some otherwise compelling drama.
