Ranking Every MCU Show From Worst To Best

6. The Punisher

MCU TV Shows Ranked
Marvel Television / Netflix

Across the pantheon of Marvel Comics, Frank Castle is one of the most fascinating characters on the table.

At his core, Castle means well, has a strong code that he's dedicated to, and is extremely efficient at taking down bad guys. Of course, while those statements are all true, the Punisher often uses oversteps the line with just how clinically he gets the job done, as dead bodies tend to pile up wherever Frank goes.

For better or for worse, Jon Bernthal encapsulated all facets of Frank Castle when he brought him to life in Daredevil's second season and then even more so in his own two season series.

Those two seasons obviously brought the most brutal action seen in any MCU TV show to date, yet the brilliant Bernthal managed to bring the vulnerability of the clearly damaged Frank to the fore - rather than the series just being violence for violence's sake.

The Punisher may not have quite hit the heights of certain other Netflix Marvel shows, but, as a character study, it was a fantastic look at someone trying not to be torn apart by their past on a daily basis.
