The Punisher

The latest entry into Netflix's street-level corner of the MCU. The plot is essentially what Fisk told Castle to do while they were in prison together: kill your way to the truth. That being said, the show definitely delivers the goods in a well-told story and shows us how deep the rabbit hole first developed in Daredevil Season 2 actually goes.
None of the other major characters make a cameo, the most notable absence being Claire, who has been in every show so far. Following a close second is a previously-seen character who does show up--Turk (he has been in Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Defenders). Karen Page definitely shows up--she is central to this version of Frank Castle.
Sadly, there is no clearly discernible "hallway fight"...but I suppose the final showdown in the abandoned power plant could count.
The one time the show really drops the ball, though, is when Karen and Senator Ori are being interviewed on a radio talk show--they didn't use Trish Talk. What? Why not? Karen and Trish know each other personally after Defenders. *shrug*
Anyway...definitely worth watching.
