Eloy here,
  Coming right after the third and lamentably final season of Daredevil- and his own rather satisfying launch, as well-, THE PUNISHER is a big disappointment in its sophomore season. And once again, as it’s been the case way too often with the Marvel properties in Netflix, the main- almost sole- reason is an almost unbearable overlength.
  The first episode promised so much better, however. Using its entire initial half hour to slowly- appropriately so- introduce an unexpected love interest for Frank Castle (played by returning MVP Jon Bernthal with utter perfection, this time even more uncannily resembling artist Steve Dillon’s interpretation of the character) immediately proves wise as we are allowed to actually buy their admittedly fast yet actually believable budding intimacy as it develops. Then all hell breaks loose- as expected- and the first bone-crunchingly realistic fight scene of the new season- a honky-tonk bar brawl- speed things up, leaving the walls splattered with blood and the audience honestly giddy with hopeful expectations.
  Alas, the remaining twelve episodes (feeling too few for something actually alluring but a bona fide burden here) are not interested in keeping that quality level of storytelling. At all. Frank leaves his newfound friend/love interest in the hospital's IC unit, a bullet wound in her belly, hanging onto life by a thread, her young son possibly about to become an orphan, and then we never hear anything from them again. Granted, he’s elsewhere occupied trying to keep the cause of that original ruckus

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...
