When Moon Knight was first announced, comic book fans freaked out and were joyful for this great character to appear in the MCU. For the Marvel media bandwagon fans, many scratched their heads and asked "who"? Unfortunately, both groups of fans would find the beginning of this series to be awfully slow and uneventful. The first 4 episodes sets up the potential to see Moon Kinght in action, but fails to show any action. While it's a cool decision to make the main character "blank out" whenever he switches personalities, doing this every single time is frustrating as we cannot see the "Marvel Batman" in action. The characters in this story are painfully written, where the only purpose of their actions is to push the story along, making the story feel clunky and unauthentic. The story also falls victim to illogical inconsistencies which leaves you questioning characters dumb actions instead of being enamored by the story.

On the positive side, unlike the other Marvel series, the production and cgi of Moon Knight looks like 6 individual movies. The acting is superb, with high remarks to the actors making something out of a sloppy script. Moon knight's costume designs are a great example of bringing comic book costumes to life. But what revives this show to its higher rating is the last two episodes. The twists and turns episode 5 brings really sets this series apart from any Marvel or even Disney media. I would dare say the writing for Episode 5 rivals many great psycho thriller movies. Had this been the writing and design of the whole series, we would be seeing something authentically new that challenges what we are used to watching.

A summary of this series: slow build-up, mysterious, and different.
