      He plagiarized in season 1? If that’s the case I want the person to get credit for
      Their writing…. but season 1 is amazing regardless of who weots what

      The King in Yellow and Carcosa mythology were taken from Robert W Chambers. I don't recall whether there was attribution on that, so unsure whether plagiarism applies.

      The misanthropy of Rustin Cohle is where True Plagiarism occurred. The work "borrowed" from, Conspiracy Agaisnt the Human Race, is almost unreadably misanthropic and dire. You might feel like Marty enduring one of Rustin's melancholic rants reading the damn thing.

      Think it, be it.

        That’s funny. One of my favorite moments form that show is when Marty is impatiently waiting in the car for Rustin and he says “ who walks that fuckin slow?”

        Maybe so. Maybe not

              Wow. A lot to read, but makes me want to give it another shot.

                Well, Netflix listened to customer demands…Punisher Season 2 has a much higher body count, and I'm only up to episode 3...

                  You finished s.1?! So much promise but so little plot development. Gave up three episodes from the end ‘cos it EAs doing my head in.

                    Yeah, I enjoyed Season 1. All of these streaming shows suffer the same pacing issues, and I have a pretty low bar set for plot development.

                            Punisher was far more watchable than Jessica Jones and The Iron Fist and I enjoyed it just as much–possibly more--than Luke Cage.

                              I’m sure, but that’s a mighty low bar.  Its like a cavity filling being preferable to a root canal 🙂

                                So long as someone gets shot in the face or crushed by a falling piano once in awhile I’m pretty happy.

                                If I wanted to put more brainpower into things I’d read a book (I only read nonfiction) and learn something or get back to work and make $.

                                My job requires me to be creative and think most of my day, so getting out of my head for a bit is requisite.

                                  Gotta compare apples to apples, right? No real point in comparing Netflix's Punisher to, say, The Night Of or The Americans.

                                      Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.

                                      I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2  wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

                                      We just started TD s2 last night as it is reduced on Amazon Prime. I really like it a lot. I think I left enough time between s1 and s2 to not risk too much comparison.

                                      They are clearly stand alone pieces, and in that sense are only comparable in the sense that Rocky and Copland are comparable…similar input, very different output!

                                        Currently watching American Gods. I’m a Gaiman fan so it is sort of high stakes but I’m really impress so far. Bodes well for the tv version of Good Omens.

                                          We stuck with about 5 episodes of s1. It got old a bit quickly for me. Ian McShane was the best thing in it. He's come a way since Lovejoy.
