    Tedious and boring. When even the presence of Nick Fury and Maria Hill elicits yawns, something has gone terribly wrong. Olivia Colman was great, though.

    After the first episode it makes me wonder, did the actors even want to be in this? I guess it would be possible to make a more boring first episode, but I can't see how. From what I remember this doesn't resemble the comic material. I just don't understand why you buy Marvel, and then change everything that made it successful.

    How appropriate that Marvel decided to replace humans with AI on a show about aliens replacing humans. This company keeps digging its own grave.

    Honestly without question the worst MCU miniseries to date.

    It wasn't even bad in an interesting way. It was just blad, boring, cheap and dull.

    Making the mother of dragons into a main character was also a really stupid idea. No one is going to ever see her as is anything else the Daenerys Targaryen.

    More terrible writing from Marvel. The acting is starting to degrade as well, as if the actors are giving up trying to prop up bad scripts. Jackson burps out bad lines with complete disinterest.

    After 2 episodes: Even Samuel L. Jackson looks bored playing old, broken and useless Nick Fury (and yes, everyone reminds him of this, all the time!). There is no suspense, no thrill, no paranoia... Lot of talking instead of real exposition. Actors performed well, but there is nothing to play. Plot holes, awful dialogues, stupid writing...

    Aggressively bad. Incredibly stupid writing, horrible acting, cheap effects, a mess on every level. I’m having a hard time figuring out who these Disney+ projects are even made for at this point. Definitely not kids; they think it’s all cringe, but it’s way too dumb to be made for anyone else.

    High quality production values and excellent cast wasted with a terrible screenplay and uninspired direction and editing. Apparently somebody thought changing the nature of nick fury's character after 10+ movies was a smart choice. I felt sleepy watching this dull trash. Avoid!

    What an absolute stinker. I couldn't muster up the interest to watch any more after the first episode. Some of the most boring television I've ever seen.

    Muy decepcionante. Las actuaciones están bien pero es la misma historia una y otra vez... La misma de la serie de Falcon & winter soldier, la misma de Ms. Marvel y etc.

    No sé les cae una idea!

    Es tan aburrida que voy por mí tercer intento de terminar el segundo capítulo.

    Otra pena...

    Deadly dull and rife with cliches, this DOA series provides further evidence that Kevin Feige has lost his way. Olivia Colman brought some energy to the proceedings but everybody else sucked oxygen out of the room. The MCU needs a reset.

    Horrible show. It's nothing related to Marvel. There's nothing interesting, no powers, no magic. It's like they were trying "let's make a marvel movie without any magic" it's so ugly and boring. Just pathetic.

    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.

    This latest Disney+ series showcases the best writing and performances in a Marvel project since “WandaVision.”

    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.

    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.
