My Brother's Keeper

Another solid episode. Some good warped psychology and comparison between both Russo and Castle. The opening shoot-out rivals the likes of HEAT and there's some real intensity throughout.

Interesting to see the parallels between Frank and Billy as they both self destruct and how the people close to them react. Solid episode.

My thoughts about this season has changed after watching this episode. we have watched a super character improvement, nice jokes, very good action scenes, and a massive progress in story. this episode deserves more than 8.5!

Earlier in this season, one of my biggest concerns was whether I would be able to look past Russo's underwhelming scars. While his appearance has remained unchanged, the performance from Ben Barnes has become more and more expressive and impactful with each episode. Barnes is able to display a wide range of layered emotions very effectively as Russo's character feels betrayed but confused; enraged but also terrified.

Another excellent episode which is able to explore the Castle-Russo dynamic and their similarities even with minimal shared screen time.

Barnes and Bernthal go under my skin. They dedicate their roles amazingly great. I think they are as great actors as Hardy, Caprio, Cooper, Malek for example. Pure greatness and marvelous acting, atmosphere, soundediting,directing and dialogue .. Seriously: can tv entertainment go any furher? I think punisher series is one of the greatest shows of all time including series like breaking bad, westworld or GOT. Just watch it.
