As far as Umbrella Academy, I don't know if you should go into it from the 'that nigga said it's better than Punisher' perspective but, I do think that it is superior on most accounts in terms of acting, world-building, pacing, and production.
Is it flawed? OH YEAH. Is it overlong and suffer from periods of aimlessness? I mean it IS still a Netflix show. While there are a couple of great elements in Punisher (Berenthal, John Pilgrim, and that sequence in the bar in episode 1) the fact that the show makes so many terrible missteps in terms of storytelling and execution kills me.
Might be a question of expectations on my end so YMMV w/ Umbrella Academy
