Created with care and a depth of focus, the series leads to a rewarding, and in some ways, unexpected story that is nothing but a win for the Marvel faithful.
This slamming action series that, you know, really feels like a six-hour movie. ... In this case, the boot actually fits, and better yet, there are thrusters in its heels. ... Mackie and Stan are natural stars, commanding each scene they're in. And while the movies established that the actors have chemistry it'll be interesting to watch that expand and mature over the course of the series.

Pacing that requires patience is a risky move, especially in Episode 1, and within a franchise that’s conditioned its audiences to crave nonstop action. But the methodical buildup works, subtly creating tension on several fronts.
The balance of action and story is nimble, and in the series' first episode — only one of six episodes was provided for review — seeds are planted for conflict, team building and drama of the personal and global variety.
For someone who isn’t especially moved by the MCU, a mumblecore Marvel where superheroes mostly spend their time struggling through difficult conversations as they reckon with their legacy feels kind of great. I’m worried, though, that it won’t last past my idea of what the series could be.
Once it gets its heroes together it starts to feel more confident, and interesting issues are touched upon, but so far it’s just a little routine.
The series has so much inherent potential to be a breakthrough moment for action storytelling, so long as it leans more into the unique skills of its nimble characters, and not just what makes them flashy in short bursts.

The political stuff was a bit off, It was mainly because the lines didn't make too much sense. The villain's group's motives make sense but the leader is bratty and murderous. I don't understand how any of the group looks up to her! The show is just so slow-paced. For only 6 episodes, Episode 5 is just sitting around and talking. But then all of a sudden Episode 6 goes too fast and it makes for a cringe ending that doesn't fit the rest of the series. The only amazing things to me about this show are the fight scenes as well as the shots! The fight scenes are so well choreographed and brutal. Camera angles are great in the fight scenes as well as when the characters are wandering around the world. The rest is just meh...

Could have been better with the villain, the threat, the twist and the plot line, but that's COVID's fault.

It's incredible how poorly the show is written. It's not as over the top as Rise of Skywalker, but it feels similarly contrived and joyless.
One of the many underdeveloped topics is the black experience in the US, and it has to be said, black people deserve better. We all do.
What a snoozefest.
