Just about to finish The Punisher. I'd not bother if you haven't already started it. Typical IMO Netflix, great start, but SO slow! The story could have been fine in 6 episodes...

Did you watch any other Marvel TV series? There are just too many of them atm, don't know where to start.
I watched 1st season of Daredevil, wasn't impressed with the characters.

I tried daredevil and got bored, same with Luke cage. Enjoyed Arrow until the 5th series and it went stupid.

Looking forward to the New Year and Sky Atlantic's new offering Britannia, with Sky Atlantic's pedigree it should be top notch.

Recently finished watching "The Crown" series 2, very nice. A bit more muddled than the first series, less focused, but with impressive stand-alone episodes ("Beryl", "Vergangenheit" and "Paterfamilias", focusing on Princess Margaret, the Duke of Windsor, and Prince Charles respectively).

Also recently: "The Last Post" about the Royal Military Police in Aden, Yemen during the 1960s. Has its lengths, but nice world-building and a very capable cast (including Ben Miles). And "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" about a woman seeking to become a stand-up comedien in New York City of 1958, again with some lengths but nice world-building, starring Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein in supporting roles.

I watched River, Jessica Jones, The Defenders and The Expanse S1 & S2.

I failed to finish watching Luke Cage. Iron Fist, Daredevil, The Punisher (less than an episode), Line of Duty, Extant, Mindhunter and a couple more that I can't even remember now. Bit disappointed in the Marvel stuff as I was an avid comic reader in my youth.

Finally, finally, finally started and finished all seven seasons of Game of Thrones.

The first season was totally and utterly confusing, and the next 4 seasons after that just about had enough going on to keep me hanging on. Have to say, without the Tyrion Lannister character (legendary) I may have given up after a couple of seasons. But I'm sure glad I hung on in there, seasons 6 and 7 were spectacular, and even though winter has just about arrived, things are really heating up. Seeing that pair of cnuts Joffrey Lannister and Ramsay Bolton getting their dues was well worth hanging on for also.

Kinda sad now that I have to hang on until next year until more and its hard to find the next big thing show wise to get stuck into.

Thanks for that, you have just given me the final confirmation I need NOT to try again with it.

For me, it was a slow-ish burner but it really is beginning to peak now. Tyrion and the odd shocking moment along the way kept me hanging in there, the brother and sister banging in the tower for example :) Once the White Walkers and Dragons got going in seasons 6 and 7 I was gripped. There's at least 3 epic battle seasons across season 6 and 7 which were outstanding.
