I’m feeling really underwhelmed by the show. I like Samuel L Jackson, Ben Mendelssohn, and Emilia Clarke, but there’s so much unwieldiness and awkwardness about the show.

Mostly it seems to suffer from Marvel’s #1 flaw: weak villains. It’s like a repeat of Falcon & Winter Soldier, but with none of the charm of Bucky & Falco BSing each other. The apparent main villain is just some guy and the Skrull “invasion” was already done in Capt Marvel, there hasn’t really been that feeling that “it could be anyone, trust nobody”.

The plot feels hacked together and things just sort of happen without reason. I get the overall scheme for the most part, but it just feels, blah.

The highlight of the episode was the British torture lady, everything else was meh.
