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.

Season 1 Review:
Marvel buffs will be able to collect their fair share of Easter eggs, but this one can be enjoyed by a PG-13-suitable crowd that prefers action (this one is pretty violent, though) with a relatable plot that doesn’t require you to watch all in the MCU canon to understand what is going on. In supporting roles, Kingsley Ben-Adir stands out in this promising leap forward for Phase 5 of the MCU.

Season 1 Review:
Ultimately, Secret Invasion is distinguished primarily by creating a more expansive showcase for Jackson’s fast and Fury-ous side, meaning the series rises and falls on the simple pleasure of seeing him moved front and center – one of the bonuses of having brought an actor of his stature into the Marvel fold.

Season 1 Review:
Only two episodes were available for review, so it’s possible that there are far more and better-paced twists and turns to come in the second two-thirds than there were in the first. But it’s been a hell of a lot of throat-clearing if so. For the first time, I wished for more from the MCU.

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:
Secret Invasion has a fascinating concept and some truly incredible performances for an MCU joint, but its writing and direction both fall a little flat. It’s the kind of serious show that Marvel fans were thirsting for five years ago, but now might cause some viewers to nod off.

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.

Season 1 Review:
Jackson is best when he's quipping alongside Mendelsohn, but besides that, he appears to be done with Nick Fury. The other performances are lacking as well, with dull dialogue being uttered by tired faces, but Olivia Colman saves "Secret Invasion" from being a complete slog.
