after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

I'd say pick it back up on Season 6, skip the knights of the sun episode that was a random regression to some of their worse writing for like the whole first 50% of the episode. Season 5 has some good ones but it's also a bit mixed. Definitely don't watch the dragonheart spoof episode that one is foul - I think it's season 5?
That's Amorte (S7) is a fantastic suggestion (saw that other comment)
If you're into the Rick Prime/Evil Morty plot lines, know that S7E5 is INCREDIBLY consequential. As is the Season 5 finale (which kicks a ton of ass btw).
I got really unsure around S4/S5 as well. It had some fantastic direction some episodes, and some just really sketchy "I can't possibly recommend this show" episodes. I'm all the more impressed at the direction they've gone in. They took al the best parts of season 5 and built on it IMO. The episode where Rick keeps bouncing around different worlds as he's resurrected/Morty goes full Akira is a GREAT example of where they were headed and are now.
Happy to be of disservice!
