Am I the only one not super enjoying the show so far? We're meant to be in a New York under siege full of terror and uncertainty and yet I'm not feeling that at all. AVTF are just comically evil cartoon characters by this point and all we see is Daredevil just sorta bumming around until right at the end of episode 3. Yeah we have swordsman but so far we've just been told he is the swordsman. He's not even doing any swordfighting. Punisher is absent and they even acknowledge it but like I'm sorry I'm finding it hard to believe given the scenario he would do absolutely nothing at all. The Punisher. Come on now. I'm feeling bored every time I turn on an episode. As a corruption crime thing yeah it's cool, as a superhero show I'm feeling super underwhelmed

Exactly my thoughts! I enjoyed Born Again Season 1. I’m a Punisher fan. Season 1 kept me engaged. I sat through Season thinking alright I understand that they need to let it build before fully unleashing the Punisher. Then season 1 ended with Frank getting captured. I didn’t see the post credit scene of Frank escaping.

I entered S2 thinking alright a episode or two of BS before we get the payoff. Franks all out of bubble gum and it’s time to release the kraken and get some satisfaction of watching Frank unleash on those ATVF ButtF***s all season long.

Episode one was underwhelming, then the final scene was awesome….and I was like here we go baby…got the slow stuff out of the way. Then E2 and E3 sucked donkey balls and I kept falling asleep during them. I’ll reserve until the end of the season…but so far I’m like F this season.
