    Painful to Watch

    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.

    Sex and Death: The Quiet Before the Storm

    Intercutting scenes of Russo's recently formed army of elite soldiers brutally eliminating a townhouse of drug dealers, with his intimacy with Krista, the opening is extremely effective.

    The stakes are upped for Castle and his friends. With a five million dollar bounty on the heads of Frank and Amy, New York has suddenly become even more dangerous.

    A gripping episode with many subplots left hanging. Even Pilgrim appears to be in a sticky situation.

    Bounty hunters

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

    Repetitive, but still manages to stay decent.

    In "Flustercluck" we see both stories going on. Bill desperately looking for answers, Frank chasing him and Amy doing his part too (getting in trouble, of course).

    I think this is more of a refill episode to the season, more of the same. However, there are some interesting moments that raises the tension. Average, a regular episode on this Punisher season... Disappointing I must say.

    Stakes are raised

    Carrying on the momentum from previously. Plenty of high drama and action as the stakes are raised for all of the characters. I'm enjoying this more than season one at this point.
