Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallAug 4, 2025
Season 1 Review: The character designs are all visually striking, with exaggerated facial features presented at extreme angles, and every person clearly delineated from one another, no matter their background or how prominent they are in the story. And the fight scenes — of which there are thankfully many — are fluid, clear, and thrilling. Read full review

Season 1 Review: With its imaginative machinations and gorgeously giddy action, Marvel Animation and Proximity Media deliver on the promise of the wider world of Wakanda. Read full review

ColliderAidan KelleyAug 1, 2025
Season 1 Review: It feels like a short, sweet, and simple addition to this expansive universe that's easy for both hardcore and casual fans to jump into. Read full review

The Mercury NewsRandy MyersAug 6, 2025
Season 1 Review: Director/executive producer Todd Harris emphasizes the action and does it with style to spare for each of these exciting, briskly told tales united by the actions of a secret Wakanda group called the Hatut Zaraze. Read full review

The A.V. ClubDennis PerkinsJul 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: Eyes Of Wakanda is a thought-provoking, entertaining glimpse past Wakanda’s curtain. And its four brisk episodes are the right lengths for what is largely an exercise in retroactive world-building. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Despite its compact length, “Eyes of Wakanda” is a solid beginning for Marvel’s Phase Six. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerAug 1, 2025
Season 1 Review: Eyes Of Wakanda can definitely drag at times, but the lively action sequences, well-done animation, and the moral dilemmas faced by the stories’ antagonists make the anthology worth watching. Read full review

IGNTara Bennett Aug 1, 2025
Season 1 Review: The first and last episodes are the strongest, while the middle two are less memorable. But even the weaker episodes are a pleasure to look at, thanks to their vibrant colors, luminous production design, and rich art direction. Read full review

Screen RantBen GibbonsAug 29, 2025
Season 1 Review: There are nice nods to other aspects of Marvel at large, and the series wraps up neatly in episode 4. However, Eyes of Wakanda is in no way required viewing for the MCU. Read full review

EmpireDavid OpieAug 1, 2025
Season 1 Review: Without a popular hero to lead with, Eyes Of Wakanda instead relies on the infinite potential of the Wakandan brand to great effect; the result is beautifully crafted but feels somewhat incomplete. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleZaki HasanAug 1, 2025
Season 1 Review: In an era where Marvel projects are routinely dinged for being too long, here’s one that’s not long enough — that’s over just as it feels like it’s finding its rhythm. That may not be the worst problem, but it does mean this debut season plays more like a prologue than the next great chapter of the MCU. Read full review
