Decent episode in terms of action and storyline development. Interesting to get some background on the elusive bad guy.

The cast is great and unlike most people, i like Amy. She has good chemistry with Frank and is there to remind him of his daughter and his humanity.

There are two major issues with this season. The dialogue is an almost comical series of confessions. The tone of these conversations are numbingly grim. The last thing this show needed is a therapist to give more opportunities to share some tortured personal histories.

Villains in "super hero" shows/movies are as important as the hero. Hating or fearing them is what gives the plot suspense. Billy Russo already lost his battle against the punisher and this time he can't totally remember who he is. Pilgram is menacing but what different challenge does he actual give Frank? He's another thug. Two non-threatening villains do not make up for one worthy adversary

Jon Bernthal's portrayal of The Punisher is the reason to watch this. You get a character perfectly brought to life and some cheap action.

Compared to the rest of the series this episode had some of the worst blood splatter effects I've ever seen. The first scene is just painful to watch, terrible cgi

The entire episode is painful to watch.

The blood splatter from the CGI looks like a failing college student was left alone with those scenes.

The dialogue within season 2 is awful but this episode really takes the biscuit. Not sure how people could vote it 8.8/10 when this episode is impossible to watch without cringing.

A pleasantly surprising return to form, one that combines engaging drama with mild action sequences. Hopefully the remaining episodes with follow that line.
