Season 1 Review: Points to Secret Invasion for not just offering an explanation, but showing that this particular story doesn’t need any superheroes to keep us intrigued. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series isn't perfect - there are moments that are a little slow going in the first episodes as we head into the heart of the series. But if Secret Invasion continues the dynamic it's built from its beginning, we could be looking at another spectacular series right when Marvel needs it most. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Marked by lethargic performances, flat combat and great gobs of exposition, it comes across as an exercise in genre regurgitation—and far from the spark that will recharge Marvel’s battery. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s still time and episodes left to salvage the series, but for those who were excited for the MCU return to a shadowy and clandestine milieu, “Secret Invasion” disappoints with familiar, rote, and enervating tenor nowhere near as involving as its collusions would suggest.

Season 1 Review: A tremendous cast, led by Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Colman and Don Cheadle, keeps things generally watchable and, when they’re given the opportunity to interact, you can spot the best version of the show. But for the most part, Secret Invasion is more dour and even dull than one might expect from its John le Carré/Graham Greene trappings. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The comics storyline on which the series is based is a beloved and acclaimed thriller, but its adaptation has been squeezed of all intrigue and nuance. And more than anything, “Invasion” is a waste of the time for the viewer. Read full review

The color scheme is well considered,After having seen today's release of Secret Invasion's first episode, I can safely say this is a Marvel show that has the proper writing, drama and humor of a classic Marvel production, seemingly without the political agenda of current year Hollywood. The color scheme is well considered, sometimes alluding to a possible Skrull among the faces you see. Photography is excellent and music is well applied.

The production does, however, suffer from a number of smaller issues: The pace is not cinematic, and lags when it shouldn't, detracting from a more pressing presentation. The lesser actors deliver their lines poorly, which caused me to have to turn on subtitles to understand what was being said. Finally, the most pressing critique from my generation will be that "Secret Invasion" has a Woke agenda to undermine men in power by robbing Nick Fury of his agency and strength. Although Fury IS presented as uncertain and not at his finest in this first episode, I currently do not believe there is any foul play yet. Sadly, the politics of modern day Hollywood are not only divisive but also deceptive, leading many of us to constantly look over our shoulders, uncertain of where the Marxists will lecture us next.

Alluring, Secret Invasion has the potential to use its premise to misdirect and surprise its audience. Time will tell if Creator Kyle Bradstreet and Director Ali Selim do the Marvel Brand proper justice. I am hopeful and betting they will.… Expand

I didn't like the show that much, but the scene with the arm was very funny

At this point I don't expect Marvel to use any of the source material, and while I would like to see that I wouldn't give a show negative marks for going it's own way. However, Secret Invasion (TV) doesn't have enough of an identity to make it interesting. The acting only has a few bright moments. The plot has holes you can drive a truck through and the directing leaves me wondering if they didn't start using AI already. Everything in the Marvel universe feels broken and the plot has been lost. Maybe they can turn the franchise around but every show I get one step closer to wanting it all to end.… Expand

Il fallait laisser l'intelligence artificielle s'occuper du scenario et du jeu d'acteur en fait. La Reine des dragons a tué le jeu, plus besoin de superhéros.

A show solely about destroying the character of Nick Fury, the whole show and all other characters constantly sht all over him, humiliate him, make him want to kill himself and so on. Disgusting.

I guess Disney is now trying to picture EVERY man as bad, it's not just the white man anymore, now they destroy the blacks as well. I'm so sick and tired of this.

Don't watch, it's truly disgusting what they do with him in this show.
Marvel is dead. It's a corpse puppeteered by Disney, they use the Marvel stamp in order to incite nostalgia to get sales. All old Marvel principles are dead and defiled, destroyed by modern garbage. Don't watch this, don't hold out hope that Marvel is coming back. Let it go. Absolutely disgusting show. F u Disney.… Expand
