Have they confirmed that this will be 13 episodes? I really wish they would start doing 8-10 episodes seasons.
more like 4-6 episode seasons.

How about just more tension per episode and enough of a high quality story to easily fill 13 episodes?

Aren't they calling it an 8-episode miniseries? Or am I thinking of The Defenders?

Defenders is 6. I hope Punisher is 6 or 8. Most of their shows seasons have been too long.
Defenders is 8 episodes

Couldn't agree more.. DD season 1 filled 13 episodes perfectly, but JJ and by far the worst offender Luke Cage were chuck full of filler, even DD season 2 suffered. I'm Hoping starting with Iron Fist that they tighten it back up!

I don't even mind filler, it just has to be more useful filler.
Show us Jessica taking on other clients and cases before getting Hope's case. Perhaps these cases could showcase some of her abilities, physical and investigational. They could show us why she enjoys being a PI. They could introduce us to people that will be important later on, when they could help Jessica figure out or obtain something.
Perhaps she helps a man who works for a concert venue, and then bribes a morgue worker or a university employee with tickets to a sold out concert, courtesy of this employee.
That would be interesting filler IMO. While it wouldn't contribute to the plot of finding Kilgrave, it would allow the show to avoid stretching out the task of catching him.

Stop stop. He's already dead...
LOL
Da fuck
Oh please yes. I gave up on Daredevil season 2 and haven't watched Luke Cage and have lost my desire to see Iron Fist. I can't take the pacing.
The Defenders is supposed to be fewer episodes so maybe I'll jump back in. Hopefully with a team full of people that have things to do and fewer hours to fill it'll be better.

Fuck you, Nicky Cavella
I feel like if that shit happened to this version of the Punisher he'd graphically tear Cavella apart piece by piece

This is why I didn't read that actually.
I can't stand the extreme over-the-top shock value from Ennis.

Punisher MAX is one of the greatest run of crime comics in history.
It's fucking bleak though.
Yeah, I just can't do that bleak. It takes a lot to get to me, really. And I'm not going to try and doubt Ennis' talent. But I just don't enjoy his style whatsoever.
One of Marvel's top runs of all time IMO
Honestly it's my favorite comic ever, and I've read a *lot* of comics.
I said wtf because of the blurred out part. Shit looks like there's some sort of alien growth underneath rather than cock and balls.

It's the best thing Marvel has done and one of the greatest runs of all time

Yeah, I wouldn't even call that 'filler'. Indeed they could go with more smaller stories only sideways related to the main story, or just a more fleshed out main story. What makes it so bad is that they have a very basic story, they more or less tell and back-peddle to do it again. Also the stuff the 'hero' does should not go so easily, but with more setbacks in each episode so there's tension.
Luke Cage was the worst here, he was an immortal superman and in several occasions he easily fought his way to the bad guy, only to walk away and do it again later.

Killed it XD
I don't think you actually watched, or paid attention to, Luke Cage.

One thing I hope is that Steve Lightfoot brings in some of that Hannibal cinematography and set design goodness.
Obviously not the same style as Hannibal, but I want to see beauty and carnage together. And fuck, you wanna give me scary gorgeous dream sequences in Punisher, fucking do it. I've been wanting that shit since I was 14.

No way. Even DD1 had this problem, just not as bad as the others. Afer Nobu fight the show pretty much grinded to complete halt.
That post didn't age well!
