My biggest annoyance with this came from Bones which started crowbarring in Fox news talking points in the middle of episodes. No looking at both sides just 'this is what you must belive'.

As for the Punisher itself I thought it was good. It felt a little like a 9 episode story stretched over 12 episodes but Its still the most coherent and intelligent attempt to put the Punisher into live action. I think people were expecting perhaps more Garth Ennis when instead we got more Chuck Dixon with a little ennis thrown in. I'm fairly certain I know where season 2 is going and I think that's where we'll see the Punisher really go off the deep end.
More intelligent that Dolph and his skull stubble? Are you crazy...
