But I agree about the retreading; it's a bit frustrating really. They sort of had him work through a lot of these issues in DD, only to start Punisher with him working through those exact same issues.

JJ does remain the best written Marvel show for me, with the best villain too, my only real issue with JJ is that her powers are completely inconsistent... they literally change in range and strength from episode to episode. They need to lock down what she actually can and can't do.
Punisher had a bad first half and a poor supporting cast, Luke Cage had a bad last half and a good supporting cast. That's what puts Luke Cage ahead of it for me. When it comes to DD season 2, the Hand stuff was woeful but the Punisher arc was great as was Elektra before she became too ingrained with the generic ninjas.

I think inconsistent powers are a problem in a lot of Superhero shows, The Flash can run across the US in a second for pizza but can't dodge a punch to save his life for example. They go all out on big scenes without considering the consistency of scenes where powers are used where the budget is tighter.
