The television special introduces us to a Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) living in an apartment complex in Little Sicily, New York, dealing with the nightmares of his past from wars abroad and at home when the ramifications of some of those past actions come roaring back in the form of Ma Gnucci (Judith Light) to threaten his current world and make Frank face that his life still has a purpose.
Reinaldo Marcus Green directs this special coming off the heels of some biographical dramas like King Richard and Bob Marley: One Love, and a recent crime drama miniseries, We Own This City, which he worked on previously with Bernthal, seems like the perfect fit to encapsulate the violent anti-hero Punisher and his war on criminals.
