[The Punisher]

[(Anonymous)]

aren't those scenes kind of supposed to be distorted-idealized memories, though?

(I don't think there's anything compelling to the punisher at all if you don't give him a backstory of genuine warmth, because otherwise there's no tragedy, just a paper-thin excuse, but there's also no depth to him if he wasn't always a little bit intense and screwy, because lots of people lose loved ones to violence and don't become homicidal vigilantes. imo they do a pretty good job balancing both of those chords in the show, but I haven't finished it yet so I could be wrong about the larger arc of the thing.)

Really? I liked them. Especially the 'happy' family scenes that were a little less happy (specifically the scene on the ferry with his son).

I had a problem with those flashbacks too. I think it was because they want to show that he loved his family SO much that he was SO devastated by guilt and loss that he can't move on and turned into this tortured, homicidal maniac who has killed almost 50 people already. OTOH they also spend half the series showing how he's such a good-hearted fella and soft guy that he can sit around playing fill-in-daddy to a family and drinking wine and kissing the lonely widow that it just ruins the flashbacks for me. Then we get to see even more of how much he still in love with his dead wife. The way they portray Frank doesn't make much sense tbh.

This show has some of the worst writing on it, the only thing that got me through was Jon Bernthal's acting.

Yeah, they definitely tried way too hard to make us sympathetic with those happy family scenes. Not believable at all.
