The Punisher: Front Toward Enemy (2017)
Season 1, Episode 9
6/10
Redundant Formulaic Plot
9 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is the same formula as the last. You have a FEW interesting moments sprinkled in with lots BORING dialogues.

The top of the episode begins with a boring dialogue that works its way into ANOTHER boring dialogue that ends with a bombing. Ironic, huh? The opening was bombing and then it was saved by a bombing.

The David character is consistently creating danger. This is the guy who insisted on being "partners" with Frank. And now we watch him unilaterally sneaking off to see Madani without consulting with Frank.

And, of course, they had to throw in Russo and Madani. Which is more evidence that Madani is too young and naive for her position. This is the woman who discovered her office is being bugged. But she's not bright enough to realize her "friends" might be enemies?

Over the last 3 episodes the story has been bogging down more and more. As someone pointed out, there are only four episodes left and LOTS of loose ends to tie up. I'm betting the writers don't get it done. We'll see . . . .
