    tbh i love this show. it has done what most of the other marvel shows fail to do. Which is, engage the audience on a deeper level. Hats off to the director, studio, cast, and crew.

    Obviously, we need more episodes to fully assess the show. So far it succeeds as a great spy thriller, but the editing and production seem to be lacking.

    So glad marvel took this show in a darker direction. They are finally realize ing that we aren’t kids anymore. The suspense of this show is great and it’s awesome to see Nick fury back in action.

    Enjoyable performances and skrull stories for the kick off of the series. That being said, it does feel like a bunch of things we have already seen.

    Secret Invasion is definitely ranked among the top tier of Marvel tv series, with Marvel taking a darker and more mature direction is one of the highlights of the show. Really looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

    Secret Invasion, is certainly an intriguing and unique marvel show that grounds itself in a lot of interesting ideas. It's not the greatest marvel show nor is it a must watch, but it's decent, it's enjoyable.

    Here's the positive: this is one of the most mature show we got since Falcon & Winter Soldier, and the premise takes on the tropes of modern spy and action movies a la Jason Bourne crossed with Invasion of the Body Snatchers, in the Marvel universe.

The problem is that it excels at none of this thing: the shallow Disney writing, complete lack of tension in both the scenario, cinematography or dialogues, does no fit the bill it aims at. And understandably so, since making a political action/spy movie is a tricky, high-level exercise that you can either make up for with the usual mystery, suspens and spook you find in an alien invasion movie or the magical, dumb action and humor of a hero movie, none of which this series has. In fact Secret Invasion is such a niche comic series that hardly ties into the actual MCU events, that it's a mystery why they would even produce the show in the stead of the countless interesting series or even stand-alone there are in the Marvel universe. I appreciated the acknowledgment of the politics in the series, but the shallowness is still a sign of the complete destruction operated in cinema and TV by the handful of mediocre, consanguinous (nepotic or not) exec imposters who haven't finished destroying the whole of american's once brilliant entertainment soft-power...… Expand

    Marvel's latest attempt at the spy genre. A little too short to invest in the characters and stories, and a little too easy on the suspension. However, Samuel L. Jackson's performance and character development is a highlight, and it helps to expand the story on Earth. But to become the flagship of the MCU TV series, the plot might need a lot more twists than you think.

    Solid Marvel series that gives a glimpse of what’s to come. I just can’t help it. I like everything Sci-Fi and Marvel.

    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.
