Kitchen Irish

Okay, so maybe not all of it. However, Kitchen Irish shows why some series work and why some don't. And it is pretty simple "“ establish a connection between the audience and all the characters, no matter how unimportant they seem to be. And then let it all blow up in the audience's face.

Obviously, Garth Ennis was the one to come up with Kitchen Irish "“ and, since many of his creations are on this list (Barracuda, for example, is his creation), I might as well mention why: because many of his secondary (and even tertiary, if I may say so) characters are fully fleshed out. And when the Punisher kills someone, you know who just died.

Many a time it’s been said that the character is repetitive "“ well, he may be, and on Netflix, he and his life story may become ultraviolent, brooding, and kind of depressing. But as long as the creators of the show take only the best things from the comics (again, it isn't about entire storylines at all), then it should be good.

Maybe as good as the next story on this list, which delves even deeper into the Punisher's persona.
