Three episodes into “Secret Invasion,” I have to admit I’m prett underwhelmed. By all rights, this series should feel like a spiritual successor to The Winter Soldier, but it’s falling flat for me on nearly every level.
The cast is doing a great job, Ben Mendelsohn in particular, but they’re being let down by the material.
Also, the die-hard “Agents of SHIELD” fan in me is just waiting for Director Mackenzie to show up and save the day.
As another committed Agents of SHIELD fan, I’be been hesitating on starting this one, or at least waiting until I can binge.
It’s been getting moderate reviews from others in the household, so the underwhelming reports here are not making me want to move it up to watch-on-release status.
On the other hand, I found She-Hulk and Loki my favourite new Marvel offerings in the past couple of years.
Yeah, I wouldn’t say you have to rush to watch this one. It’s fine.
