Polygon is making the case that Jon Bernthal's Punisher series deserves another look nearly a decade after it first arrived. In a new retrospective, the outlet calls the Marvel action show a "masterpiece from start to finish."

Bernthal's take on Frank Castle has long been a fan favorite among Marvel's street-level adaptations, and the piece lands as the series remains available on Disney Plus — putting it within easy reach for viewers who missed it the first time or want a rewatch.

The timing isn't accidental. Bernthal has been back in the Marvel fold, with the retrospective's imagery nodding to his return alongside the Born Again era of the character's corner of the universe. For action fans working through their streaming backlogs, Polygon's argument is simple: nine years later, the show still hits.
