#6: The Punisher (2017 – 2019)
Jon Bernthal was the perfect choice to play the Punisher. This show is full of blood and violence and the action in this show is more gun-centric, but it won’t matter as you’ll be engulfed in the story once you start watching it. Punisher is brutal and unapologetic but he also has an emotional side to him, which Jon Bernthal displays masterfully.

#3: The Mandalorian (2019 -)
The Mandalorian is the last hope for Star Wars fans as it feels a lot like the original trilogy, unlike the latest movies that gravely disappointed the fans. It is a beautiful mix of action and adventure, and it is everything the fans of this franchise wanted. Jon Favreau, the genius did it once again.
#2: The Boys (2019 -)
The Boys is the perfect twist on the entire superhero genre and it is a must-watch for those who have superhero fatigue. It is dark, gritty, bloody and gory.

#1: Daredevil (2015 – 2018)
Daredevil changed the entire landscape of television as it proved that superheroes can exist on the small screen.
