The Punisher (Season 1)
EssentialSeries2017
Frank Castle after Daredevil season two, and the strongest of the later seasons. Watchable with only that behind you.
Availability changes by country and by week, so this searches JustWatch rather than guessing.
Can you skip The Punisher (Season 1)?
No. It carries part of the main Defenders Saga throughline, and what comes after it assumes you have seen it. See the full Defenders Saga order.

- DCStreet-level superheroes in one city, shot dark and slow, and both take their time before anyone throws a punch.
- John WickLong hallway fights staged in single takes, and a lead who is very tired of being good at this.
