Punisher

The new show I am currently binge watching on Netflix is Marvel's "The Punisher."  The show is absolutely amazing and is part of the ongoing Marvel Comics Television shows currently being made for Netflix.  The Punisher television show is the sixth Marvel show released by Netflix and follows up the events of another Marvel show Called Daredevil.  The Punisher is known as a antihero in the Marvel universe who is someone who is a hero but doesn't exactly play by the rules of a normal superhero.  Most heroes or antiheroes in the Marvel universe are vigilantes who want to make a difference in the world and bring forth justice.  The Punisher is extremely different from most superheroes and is known for his gruesome tactics and for leaving behind a very gory trail.  The Punisher is more known as an executioner of criminals and corrupt people who are inflecting pain or horror in the world.  The series was great but not for the faint of heart, but I recommend it to anyone who likes action, heroes, or just a great story.
