I didn't think so. It was a warning. But the series remains really good throughout.

I'm 11 episodes in and I'm loving it. There are a few dumb moments, but I dig the characters, the writing, and the action.

Paraphrasing a co-worker of mine after watching the first episode: At first I thought 'when is he getting to the punishing' and then I thought 'finally' and then 'hey, it's okay, you made your point, could you please tone down a bit now OMG FRANK... !'

Maybe for a season 2. But there's nothing but normal elite military/elite ex-military bad humans with normal names in this season.
In fact if Karen Paige, the one detective, & Karen's editor weren't in this the only marvel links would be the title logo, the skull painted on his kevlar, & NYC.
Nothing but "normal" bad guys with "normal" motives ($) getting shot, stabbed, beaten/broken, & killed throughout a good story.

Okay my apologies to Netflix, I may have been hasty in my assessment of the first episode.
I've just finish episode 7 and while the pacing is still slow, the story themes running through this show are very good. I'm looking forward to th next few episodes
Other than being big and having a high pain threshold Barracuda is a normal too, indeed most of Punishers core villains are just mundane pyschopaths with no/limited powers.
Not sure who could be a season 2 villain and its kind of a bummer they've already had him face off against Daredevil.
Finn Cooley was the mad Irishman in DD2, maybe he could comeback disfigured from his injuries and with a love for explosives. He teams up with Barracuda to hunt Punisher down and DD does a cameo trying to stop the carnage...

Two episodes in and I'm loving it.
Great cast/characters, strong backstory/plot elements, impressive action and violence and the pacing is perfect so far.
Sadly I agree with others here, the Marvel series have really been poor of late, they do show a glimmer of genius in some places but overall fail. Hopefully The Punisher rescues the multi-series from this downtrend.
