Shows that feel likeMarvel's The Punisher (2017–2019)
If you loved Marvel's The Punisher, the closest series we have are Marvel's Daredevil (2015), Marvel's Luke Cage (2016) and Marvel's The Defenders (2017). All three share Marvel's The Punisher's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bloodhounds (2023).
If Marvel's The Punisher hit the spot, these will too

Street-level heroics with real bruises and hallway-brawl brutality
The difference: A hero who refuses to kill, wrestling guilt and Catholic conscience

A blunt-force man used as a weapon by people with their own agendas
The difference: Cooler and neighbourhood-minded, scored to Harlem rather than to rage

Street-level Marvel with real bruises and a city worth defending
The difference: A crossover ensemble, and much less punishing

An ex-operative applying military violence to civilian problems
The difference: Weekly cases and an AI, cleaner and far less brutal

Both are built on the same subject: gun
The difference: Trades the stillness of Marvel's The Punisher for an angle of its own

A soldier home from a war he cannot leave, hunting the guilty
The difference: Network-scale and far tamer, with an ever-growing team around him

Adrenaline in bursts, then people quietly carrying the damage home
The difference: Warm ensemble melodrama built on weekly emergencies, not vengeance

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

Tactical precision and a man torn between the badge and his own code
The difference: A procedural with a weekly reset — team loyalty over blood vengeance

Manhunts and gunfights shot for weight rather than for gloss
The difference: A tidy weekly case file, with no grief or conspiracy eating the hero

Violence born of poverty and love, framed as tragedy from the start
The difference: Colombian telenovela romance where gunfire serves the heartbreak

Black-ops conspiracies and soldiers discovering who they really worked for
The difference: Network Marvel — team banter, no bodies and no rage
