As first seen in Daredevil Season 2, Jon Bernthal will be reprising his role as the tortured vigilante, while Steve Lightfoot, who was a writer and executive producer on Hannibal, will serve as showrunner on Marvel's The Punisher and write the first two episodes.
just finished daredevil season 2, that chinese words on the urn spoiled the whole experience for me lol Punisher is damn cool, I wish they gave him more screen time towards the end fight.

The last couple episodes are really good. the first couple have their moments but they feel like they start and stop pretty heavily. Well worth the watch I think but could have been amazing in half the eps. the last episode specifically is really really good. Nothing is really bad about it I don't think other then pacing issues.
Iron fist gets exposed pretty hard as the shitty part of the defenders universe though. He gets all the facepalm moments and is generally a huge idiot.
Punisher was the best part of the defenders universe because I genuinely believe it was amazing acting and not just good writing or directing.
Defenders was fine. Campy and very TV, but fine. The foot clan is the worst part of that series, followed by Dany Rand, but it was acceptable. Hopefully they steer clear of the worst Frank Miller 80s plots in the future.

I really do hope they can move away from all that Hand bullshit and ninjas after the events depicted in The Defenders. And Iron Fist is one of the crappiest superhero designs ever (He knows kung fu and can focus his chi into his fist, wow. He's been orphaned as a very young boy and raised by kung fu monks but he's really a billionaire - the most boring backstory ever).

But Daredevil season 2 wasn't that good... Half of it was (all the parts with the Punisher and Kingpin) and the other half (pretty much all scenes with ninjas and Elektra) was absolutely terrible to the point where I was just skipping those parts in the later episodes.
The Ninjas were strangely crappy in daredevil but I think the elektra was at least serviceable. I wouldn't say taht you really mised anything if you skipped those scenes. There was definitely a lot of the early part of defenders that I'd skip if I knew better at the time.
