    Strong first episode that quickly turns into a painfully average action drama.

    An overall lack of action in the first 2 episodes alongside race constantly being brought up. As an African American this just made me cringe when every 10 seconds it comes back to race, I just want to enjoy superheroes kicking butt, why make it so political?

    The flag smashers were/are terrorists and promoting them as though they are not is why I am giving this show a rating of 0.

    I was looking forward to “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” but could not make it past the fourth episode. Poor character development, hated the new Cap, bad guys were not bad guys, and way to racially politically charged. I understand that Hollywood and big corporations are all about racial PR these days, but please spare me the lecture. Disney, I know you can produce better shows (seeI was looking forward to “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” but could not make it past the fourth episode.

    The show is "fine" by all accounts. But I can't help but feel a little disappointed by its lack of ambition.

    It's telling when the villains are really the best part of the show. The plot and set-pieces are so generic, it's hard to recall specific moments of the show. The buddy comedy dynamic never really works as well as it should and it all feels bery "by the numbers". WandaVision by    The show is "fine" by all accounts.

    Watch it for the action; do your best to ignore the plot and dialogue. Don't think about character arcs; they're either absent or self-contradictory and hollow. Just look at the punching. It's a show about punching. It should have had maybe 20 lines of dialogue in the whole first season.

    Much more down to earth than Wandavision and refreshingly well-balanced. Some of the new characters don't hit, but the action is top-notch and the character development starts off strong.

    Probably too early to review/rate, but a strong start out of the gate! Great SFX and action. Filling out the background on Sam and Bucky with skill. The potential is there!

    (I had a dark trepidation the show would give me the history of TV game shows or some such hog snot. When it didn't follow the path of "Wandavision", my joy sparked high and bright)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, the first episode was quite dull. Sure, the initial sequence was intense, but then it all went downhill. Do we need to see an Avenger going to the bank to ask for a loan? Although we already know these characters, there wasn't any hook to keep thinking about the show, unlike 'Wandavision' some weeks ago. I never stop watching a series, but I don't know if this one will deliver.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring, woke garbage. The first episode they try to claim that Sam's sister got denied a loan just because she was black, however, the actual reason why she got denied is because she had no income. Any person on Earth, no matter their skin color, would also get denied. This is just another show full of Left Wing propaganda. No thanks.… Expand

    Very poorly written. 1) Dialogue is child like and unsophisticated. 2) The story was all over the place and made no sense in the scope of the MCU. 3) Characters doing things completely out of character. Worst of all, 4) The show tries yet fails miserably at preaching on political and world issues. It was as if it was written by a person with an IQ below 100.

    The winter soldier and Dr Zemo characters are a complete waste. The falcon is whining and brooding all the episodes about being afro-american Captain America in America or the family boat… Really? You saw Thanos wiping out HALF OF UNIVERSE and this is what it worries you? Don’t even make me start talking about the Power Broker or budget captain America or the Wakanda’s soul sisters… What an utter and complete disaster.    … Expand

    Couldn't make it through the first episode. Boring as all hell. I get it, it's a comic book superhero show, not even movie, but man, just no interest in these characters at all. And when you compare this to Wandavision? Pass.

    If I was 16 years old again I, with my childish brain, would probably have enjoyed this. But this formula that they are going for is so super cliche, it's been done a gazilion times and so predictable. Sprinkled on top with politically correct race issues here and there is a bit down the same alley: It's average with average on.

    Further, and this may not be a problem for fans of the marvel universe, you have to have seen previous iterations of marvel universe because it spends time referencing captain america and such things that you dont really know what the hell they talking about unless you seen those shows (and I hadn't, so it felt kinda pointless and empty, as a viewer I felt marginalized by that, as if the show wasnt meant to be for me).

    If fractional score was possible I would rate it it a 6.7, but since that is not possible I'll have to go with 6. Im not going to give this one a 7 im afraid.    … Expand

    Not a great start. Falcon is not likeable, thats not the actors fault, but the writing. They are handling Winter Soldier much better. The fight scenes aren't needed and at this point are really just filler. This really needs to step it up and give me a reason to care in these next 2 episodes

    Excellent series so far. Right off the bat, amazing action scene with Falcon. You could fool me if you say that its a movie cause of how it looks and feels. Nonetheless, this series have a heartfelt backstories of Sam and Bucky as we got to know them better as just a normal human beings dealing with their trauma and money problems.

    Right off the bat, it's so captivating during its first sequences. We jump right into the action and the audience is given a prominent setting that sets up this spectacularly exciting new marvel show. With contrasting sequences between the two title-characters, we are teased the beginning of something which can only get better going forward.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looks as though it will play out as a fine, straightforward action series. But no Marvel output can exist in a vacuum and so far, with its by-numbers action sequences and troubled hero narratives, it’s a little unimaginative.

    Marvel’s second Disney Plus series is off to a very promising start, finding a healthy balance between the blockbuster thrills fans love and the personal drama that gives them meaning. It’s still anybody’s guess as to where this story will go next, but you shouldn’t have any hesitation about going along for the ride.

    Once it gets its heroes together it starts to feel more confident, and interesting issues are touched upon, but so far it’s just a little routine.
