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.

Bro this show is soo good, a way better show than Wanda vision even though Wanda vision was very good. The action was very good not like it mattered, for me it was the story and the characters, a lot of people hated the new Captain America but i liked his character a lot, the plot made sense, Zemo was very good character and he was smart like in the comics. I enjoyed the show a lot as it's not like the other marvel content as it's more darker which i want more of in the mcu hopefully but obviously not really dark

SEASON 1
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.
If I was 16 years old again I, with my childish brain, would probably have enjoyed this. But this formula that they are going for is so super cliche, it's been done a gazilion times and so predictable. Sprinkled on top with politically correct race issues here and there is a bit down the same alley: It's average with average on. Another way to put it would be dumbed down politically correct.
Further, and this may not be a problem for fans of the marvel universe, you have to have seen previous iterations of marvel universe because it spends time referencing captain america and such things that you dont really know what the hell they talking about unless you seen those shows (and I hadn't, so it felt kinda pointless and empty, as a viewer I felt marginalized by that, as if the show wasnt meant to be for me).
If fractional score was possible I would rate it it a 6.7, but since that is not possible I'll have to go with 6. Im not going to give this one a 7 im afraid.

SEASON 1
I feel like I'm very much in two minds with regards to this show. First and foremost, it is well-executed and with a bizarrely relevant storyline considering the covid-related events of the last year (I think it even invoked phrases like the 'The New Normal' in this show). However, I think it could be accused of being the same old Marvel despite this.
It's a tricky predicament as I feel the subject matter it addressed (A black Captain America) is kinda surprising given anything about race can be such a polarising subject (I mean without even looking I can tell that half the negative reviews are gonna be from whiny manbabies who think that anything even vaguely discussing racism is pandering to libs - idc if this is a strawman btw sue me) and I normally associate Disney with playing it as safe as possible. However, I still felt that occasionally it slipped into paying lip-service rather than really discussing issues. It felt like it was torn between being your standard superhero show whilst also attempting to explore America's relationship with race and I felt it would occasionally struggle with these two conflicting aims.
Outside of this, I am huge fan of the action in this. I was quite critical of how the action in WandaVision (the previous MCU show I watched) felt lacklustre especially in the final episode. The fights in this reminded me of a slightly more PG version of the Netflix Marvel shows (Daredevil etc.). This is a really good thing as I personally feel that the Netflix shows had some of the best action in any Marvel-related properties.
I think that, ultimately, it gets a six as it is very par for the course for Marvel on an overall level. I am a big fan of the fact that they didn't sidestep the discussion of a black Captain America but I'm not sure if this is enough of a difference to really warrant it being given a higher score - other shows like Luke Cage or Black Lightning have also dicussed black superhero issues so this show is not like a fresh, fresh perspective. Probably still worth watching if you're an MCU fan but otherwise not a must-see.

SEASON 1
Watch it for the action; do your best to ignore the plot and dialogue. Don't think about character arcs; they're either absent or self-contradictory and hollow. Just look at the punching. It's a show about punching. It should have had maybe 20 lines of dialogue in the whole first season.

SEASON 1
Very poorly written. 1) Dialogue is child like and unsophisticated. 2) The story was all over the place and made no sense in the scope of the MCU. 3) Characters doing things completely out of character. Worst of all, 4) The show tries yet fails miserably at preaching on political and world issues. It was as if it was written by a person with an IQ below 100.
