Season 1 Review:
Overall Moon Knight seems to be a resounding success for Marvel’s new era of expansion. Full of great action, twists and genuinely spooky sequences, it’ll give longtime fans another corner of the MCU to explore while also delivering an entry-level story that might even appeal to some newcomers.

Season 1 Review:
Exploring other facets of the universe while trusting audience members not to wonder how it all connects has enabled Marvel to make a series that is finding its way towards a genuinely compelling portrait of dissociation, anchored by two terrific performances. The fact that it can be watched on its own terms is icing on the cake.

Season 1 Review:
All told, Moon Knight feels limited by that one key choice to start with Steven’s point-of-view. While some of the show’s best moments come from Steven’s ever-present disorientation as to his circumstances, it throws the pacing of the show off to such a degree that by the time the story really kicks into high gear, this highly unconventional origin story feels like it’s drawing to a close.

Season 1 Review:
The opening chapters are thrilling fun as Steven's hysteria mounts upon waking from blackouts and mayhem. When the fantastical intrigue shifts from London to Egypt, the exhilarating actions scenes have a rollickingly slapstick Indiana Jones-like quality. [11 - 24 Apr 2022, p.7]

Season 1 Review:
On the whole, Moon Knight is another in a long line of well-oiled Marvel machines, delivering the mixture of winning personality-driven humor, functional combat, and hit-or-miss CGI—Moon Knight looks fantastic; multiple generic creatures, on the other hand, are habitually hidden from view in murky darkness—that fans have come to expect.

Season 1 Review:
A choppy show through its first four episodes that's still a must-see simply for what Oscar Isaac does in a fascinating dual performance. ... The screenwriting issues with “Moon Knight” never fully derail it because the talents of people like Isaac, Hawke, and Benson/Moorhead keep pulling it back on track. ... More than any other Disney+ Marvel show, I’m excited to see how this series ends and where the character goes from here.

Season 1 Review:
Steven’s and Marc’s dialogue encapsulates the divide between the allure of the two characters: Where the former is as unpredictable as the bonkers British accent that Isaac has concocted for him, the latter speaks in flairless American. But their interactions grow tiresome due to Marc’s overwhelming blandness, as he’s confined to the familiar mold of the tough, emotionally withholding alpha.

Season 1 Review:
“Moon Knight” is vaguely different, has no real connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and will be hailed by many as a deeply original chapter in the MCU. But when you look outside that limited worldview and recognize all the aforementioned touchstones it’s drawing from, “Moon Knight” is initially thought-provoking, but hardly the game changer that many devout fanboys will likely declare it.

Season 1 Review:
As a drama, it’s built entirely around the Isaac vs. Isaac cage match, which supplies fair to middling action and sentiment and consistently satisfying laughs. It’s characteristic of the Marvel Disney+ shows that the ability of the performers exceeds the inventiveness of the crew. ... Jeremy Slater (“The Umbrella Academy”), the show’s creator, and its director, Mohamed Diab (the Egyptian features “Cairo 678” and “Clash”), are only fitfully successful at combining psychological drama, “Raiders of the Lost Ark” desert adventure and superhero origin story.

Season 1 Review:
Few viewers unversed in the comic lore will be able to tell you after four episodes what he can or can’t do, and his personality, when it’s exhibited at all, is reheated Deadpool. ... Disappointingly, neither Steve nor Marc is presented as especially nuanced, rendering the contrast between them solely a product of Isaac’s interpretation instead of writing.

Season 1 Review:
"Moon Knight" is an odd show in that it gives us characters and actors we'd love to spend more time with, albeit in tauter scenarios than the one presented here. ... But as it stands, "Moon Knight" may be one of those puzzle details someone else can fill in for you in the future prior to enjoying a better adaptation of another (and somehow related) Marvel adventure.
