The Devil’s Punisher is more enjoyable in its earlier episodes where the plot is less convoluted and the pacing more balanced. The evolution of Anson Chen’s character becomes almost laughable because of his overacting and total lack of nuance . The second challenge is that I’m not convinced the writers knew where the plot line was heading so to move the story to some sense of conclusion in later episodes, they resorted to a number of instances of Deus ex machina making the end of the film appear clunky and convoluted. From a filming point of view, someone discovered colour enhancement and went wild with over-saturated scenes and colours that appeared artificial. On the whole, though, the show was enjoyable but is in need of better editing and direction, particularly for Anson.
