Jessica Jones was nearly perfect TV. And Bernthal is one of the reasons Daredevil season 2 was great. Daredevil season 1 was also phenomenal. I mean those 3 alone are extremely hard to outshine. Luke Cage and Iron Fist I could debate for days about the merits. But getting over their faults won't be too difficult for Punisher.

Because they are stretched to fill a contracted number of episodes, rather than letting the material dictate the run time.I have yet to see a Marvel Netflix series that wouldn't have been improved by editing it down to feature length and releasing it as a movie on Netflix. They all have standard, simplistic movie plots. But a series generates 13x (or however many episodes they force it to) as many "views". So they get a light touch in the editing room, and much fat remains, and the bloated "finished" products plod on for hours and hours.I made a jokey reference to Muppets take Manhattan. That old film has a ~75min runtime. And twice as much happens in MtM than happens in any of these Marvel "series"!Probably cause Muppets don't spend so much time brooding

I didn't think there was any contrivance too egregious from JJ. The way Kilgrave escaped was bad, but I thought the material was still good enough around it to go with it. The problem I had was how are we supposed to like Hogarth afterwards? Luke Cage had much more contrivances, like when he was trapped at the club with Misty, why didn't he just fight his way out at first when he just does it later. And Diamond back shoots him into a garbage truck but later is "like find me Luke Cage!"
I think a lot of it comes down to the same issues the movies tend to have. DD1, JJ1, and parts of DD2 had compelling villains, while most of Cage, IF, and Defenders didn't.
