I don't like Disney dangling Kingpin in front of the screen as if I'm amused by the corpse of a show I used to like.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disappointed. It tries to be funny, but it is mostly cheesy and groan worthy, especially the caricatures of the Russian gangsters. It creates a tonal dissonance with the rest of the show that is trying to be more serious. Worse, Hailee is not cut out for this type of role. She is 25 in real life, her character is supposed to be 22, yet she portrays a petulant teenager most of the time. Maybe this is her idea of pluck, but mostly she comes across as grating, arrogant and entitled. She hams it up all the time and is barely watchable. And they make Jeremy Renner's character a pushover who happily goes along with this irritating adolescent, even dumping his family for Christmas. Why? The plot twists make little sense and loose ends are not tied up - why was Armande killed? How did the Rolex and the Ronin stuff end up at the auction so casually? How did Maya know about the Rolex and why did she want it? Why did she not know about the Ronin suit at the auction? Was her pursuit of Ronin purely accidental then? Why did she leave the Rolex lying about in her apartment carelessly and didn't mind losing it? How did the TSM identify Kate as the one in the Ronin suit? Why did they go to her apartment (which was obscure) and not her mother's (which was much more well known)?

And the most baffling of all, why did Hawkeye not take the Ronin suit when running from the burning apartment when that was the sole purpose of his pursuit? He comes back later to not find it, and that triggers the whole LARPers thread which was a total eye roll. Again, they tried to milk it for laughs, but only induced cringes - it just did not fit the flow or tone of the show.

It is also unbelievable that 22 year old Kate Bishop with little training (outside of rich kid sports lessons) can go toe to toe with the likes of Maya and Yelena, or even survive a stupid encounter with the Kingpin. With no real apprenticeship, she is able to shoot as well as Hawkeye, sees fit to dump him on a roof while she goes on a mission, and then takes over as Hawkeye in the end!!

Understandably, this is all super hero make believe stuff. Still, this show treats its audience with as little gray matter as possible. If you are am MCU fan and must follow all the lore, then go for it. Else, save your sanity and skip it!… Expand

Boring. Sad. BAD writing. Why does it seem like all the women in this show are powerful in one way or another while all the men are either asinine, weak, or evil?

If it was more clearly marketed as a kids show, or as a show about Kate, the new Hawkeye, I'd give it more leeway. But I expected a good Marvel show that adults can watch and instead got a CW teen show with better production values.

But I expected a good Marvel show that adults can watch and instead got a CW teen show with better production values. It's a sitcom without a laugh track, with terribly cheesy one liners machine gunned in every scene. Everyone has a snarky reddit-level joke even when they have a gun to their head.… Expand

Une marvellerie disniaise de plus que l’on trouve tout naturellement chez Disniais+… Notons cependant que la part habituellement très majoritaire de la multi-diversité (surtout noire ou marron foncé) est ici étonnamment très minoritaire : onUne marvellerie disniaise de plus que l’on trouve tout naturellement chez Disniais+… Notons cependant que la part habituellement très majoritaire de la multi-diversité (surtout noire ou marron foncé) est ici étonnamment très minoritaire : on n’en croit pas ses yeux…!

Hélas, quelles que soient les multi-couleurs de Disniais-Benecon, quand c’est de la merde… bah… c’est de la merde ! et cette marvellerie en série est à chier debout, tellement elle est mauvaise et entièrement nulle à chier de partout. Le ton est d’emblée léger mais surtout volontiers hystéro-bouffon et la lenteur de l’ensemble est à dormir debout !

Seulement 6 épisodes et pourtant, après les deux premiers, c’est comme si on n’avait rien vu du tout… il s’est passé quelque chose ? pas étonnant qu’on chie debout devant cette série nulle à chier debout et partout sur le téléviseur, tellement c’est super nul à chier ! putain, mais c’est l’histoire ? Hawkeye a perdu ses collants ? et la petite conne, elle sert à quoi ? elle est tellement, mais tellement conne… je crois qu’elle a piqué les collants !

Par ailleurs et enfin, il est fait allusion dans ce truc à des évènements qu’on a dû rater quelque part, précédemment… mais où ? une précédente daube de chez Merdvel ? on s’en fout de toute façon, on tire la chasse et puis c’est tout. Point merde.… Expand

Sadly Hawkeye is nothing more than a prestige version of those Netflix Marvel shows that used to bore the hell out of me, actually Daredevil was much more graphic and cinematic than this. It’s well filmed, with a great cast and that’s it.Sadly Hawkeye is nothing more than a prestige version of those Netflix Marvel shows that used to bore the hell out of me, actually Daredevil was much more graphic and cinematic than this. It’s well filmed, with a great cast and that’s it.

The fights are clumsy and boring, the villains completely forgettable, the jokes terrible and the twists beyond predictable. The series would work better as an adult drama with a proper grim Hawkeye and you feel Jeremy Renner is begging for it. But Hailey Steinfeld’s character turns the show into something so Disney Channel it’s painful. When she gets her own show it will just be the Hannah Montana of crossbow and that’s fine because there is an audience for that. But Hawkeye is stretched between two vibes and none are working.

He should be a rough loner à la Wolverine, not some co-parenting vigilante!… Expand

Complete with a dad that has to be home by christmas, a precocious teenager, hapless villains that can't shoot straight, an evil would-be stepfather, and a feral dog of impossibly glossy coat & even-tempered disposition.

"Hawkeye" isn't passing on the torch of the Avengers. It's Hannah Montana with slapstick bows and arrows.

This is what happens when Disney's division of bland, saccharine, unchallenging after-school entertainment is handed major IP to play with, and not surprisingly, it is anodyne pap.… Expand

This show is laughably bad. It was like one long fever dream watching it. Not very good.
