The Dark Hearts of Men

Really, really dumb. This is how you turn The Punisher into Iron Fist.

Say what you want about the realism in some of the action, but this episode was the first of this season that felt perfectly crafted from start to finish. The opening left me intrigued and by the end I was left with a bittersweet taste as Frank's character has started down a new path. This is a great example of the type of excellent writing and direction that elevates this series to Daredevil's for me. Best episode of the season so far but I suspect the best is yet to come.

Josh Stewart also got to stretch his legs a bit too which is always a bonus.

I honestly think that The Dark Hearts of Men might be one of the most beautifully put together episodes that Netflix/ Marvel have put together yet. the calm first half of the episode with the rainstorm cleverly builds up to what you get to experience in the last half. 10/10

I knew something was shady with the doctor but I did not see that coming, very dark but very well done. Great acting and storyline development.

Steven Seagal (hard to kill era) would've mopped the floor with Castle as depicted in this series. Seagal took everyone down with minimal pulverizing and maximum maiming. To me that was more realistic than this gore fest. Castle isn't super powered. He takes way too much punishment to prevail. I'm a comic nerd from way back but this; jeez I dunno.
