Puts it about on par with Jessica Jones, I think. Not too far behind Daredevil.

I didn't think it was really that clean.

Spoiler!

Ugly Russo obviously becomes an arch-villain., and Mircochip's family has to die in order for him to rejoin Punisher. I think they set it up for some serious bloodshed next season.

EDIT: Well, I guess I could see it as being clean. If you don't think about season 2 setups.

Not there yet.

I will admit that when one character seemed to become a right wing stereotype I was pissed. Then they came in with the same stereotype for the opposite side. It wasn't about pushing a message but pointing out the bad on both.

I keep being impressed by the Marvel/Netflix combo and I'm sad it's going to end...
