"The series is very different from other doramas I've watched. It doesn't feel like it's a 16 episode format at all, when watching it, you get the feeling that it's one big movie. The tension is present in every episode, the plot is intriguing, and the actors played to the best of their abilities", — id234264919.

"The ending came out well. The script is so well crafted that there are no questions left. The music in the show is also gorgeously chosen and the acting of the actors is unparalleled", — Shooky.

"Amazing work of the scriptwriter, cast and in general everyone involved in the filming process. We were given the perfect picture with well-developed characters, it was interesting to watch from episode 1 of season 1 to the very end", — veronikayak7.

Castle is ready for anything to get to the bottom of the truth and reveal the truth about the death of the family.

"Love The Punisher. I don't think any show has ever made me roar with excitement SO MUCH. It's sad that the series was shut down, but the plot itself and the way everything unfolded really hit me. This kind of series really gives me a chance to relax, I don't know how to explain. Just sit and get high all day. Soundtracks fire, the picture is very pleasant to the eye, filming some scenes so good that directly want to note (for example, the fight with the cops in the elevator in the 13th episode, I think)", — mrmrksusha.

"The series is absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorites, definitely. Bernthal - just great, the case when a man is just born for this role. The actor is insanely talented, charismatic - as well as the character. Frank Castle - the only one of its kind, contradictory, but it - a man with a destiny. With bloody, cruel and sad - but with a destiny. And no one better than Bernthal could have embodied him so well, breathe life and soul into the great and terrible Punisher-threat of the streets of New York", — Annie10792.

"The second season is definitely worse than the first, maybe it should have been cut down to 10 episodes at least. But it's still cool to follow The Punisher, Bernthal is the perfect Punisher at this point. The ending was epic!" — aituarmu.

"Thank you, Revenge! I'm glad I watched this series from the beginning. There were a lot of illogical character actions and ridiculous situations, but the story we were told was amazing. How we worried about Emily and wished for justice to be served!" — Lesk.

"Very much liked the first three seasons, the last one, I won't say that it was a failure, in some places it was very interesting, but it is superfluous, absolutely unnecessary", — ashro_ssd.

"Tom [Hardy] is as good as ever. Played a typical for him the role of a bad guy, and the roles with deviations in the psyche he perfectly succeeds. The series perfectly conveys the style of that troubled and bad smelling time. I highly recommend it!" — Steep_kop.

"I would like to mention the character who plays the king, every time I got funny looking at him. Yes and in general, very powerful, for the UK to shoot such an atmospheric and filled with scenery and costumes series. I will also note the musical accompaniment. Super! Well done", — BlinkedS.

"This series takes the atmosphere and characters, but the plot itself becomes interesting only by the finale. I wouldn't put it down as the best or most important of the series. But there is a powerful performance by an A-class actor, and that alone makes the series worth watching", — Solidblack.

"Great dorama. Turned on the first episode and could not stop until I finished all the subsequent ones. The plot, the acting, the soundtrack, the filming - loved it all", — juliawishes.

"I really liked the series: the actors played great, the soundtrack, the production of fights and shots, the way it is mounted, the plot itself is interesting, the characters and the relationship between them are well written, for the main character is worried, she is not a super killer, as is usually the case in such action movies, but a person", — vita_dr.

I like everything: actors (especially the main ❤️), plot, picture, music, intrigue, and most importantly the lightness and lack of vulgarity of modern cinematography", — Soon1304.

"The series is really the bomb, was so looking forward to the third season and it didn't deflate like other series do. Kept me in suspense the whole time, so coolly filmed. Omar Sy, of course, is very charismatic, his reincarnations are worth it", — Mankun1anec.

"Great series. Very easy and pleasant to watch. Yes, it may be silly and childish in some places. But that doesn't make it worse. I think, even, on the contrary. With pleasure directly relaxed in the evening watching", — manuuuuuwa.

"Well, sweet Patrick. you taught me a lot, and your perpetually disheveled (you should!) hair and slightly sad smile will be remembered for a long time. A wonderful series with a wonderful ending", — cinnamon88.

"Anyone who is depressed or going through difficulties - highly recommend this series. Watching from 2022, the series has really hit the spot. Started watching last year when my mom died of cancer+covid - caught myself thinking that I too, like gg, was going through the grief/rage/denial/peace stage at first. A year later, having finished watching it, I feel somewhat like the main character: that it's like he's come full circle (at the end of the series it will be clear what it's about, I won't spoiler), and I've come to terms with the idea of losing my mom", — Kvazizavr.
