The Punisher: 25 WTF Moments

19. The Ridiculous PG-13 Sex Scenes

Something that's been strangely pervasive across Netflix's Marvel shows is the comically tame sex scenes, where not a flash of nudity is allowed, even though it's airing on a streaming platform without the usual network TV restrictions.

It's especially bizarre in The Punisher, considering the show's plethora of brutal violence in almost every episode, not to mention the occasional dash of strong profanity. Apparently showing a boob or a dong is too much, though, even in the context of the most natural of things: a sex scene.

You can certainly argue the sex scenes themselves, namely those between Billy Russo and Agent Madani, are unnecessary, but it is pretty comical how carefully the scenes are staged to ensure there's not a nipple or stray genital in sight.
