I'll get the good out of the way first. I'm always afraid these Marvel TV shows will skimp on special effects, action, and spectacle, but this show is so creative in its plot twists, character arcs, dialogue, and relationships (not to mention fantastic camerawork) every minute is wildly entertaining. It was also more than a good idea to get Oscar Isaac involved because he can go in and out of his different personalities on a whim. Oscar is no lightweight; he'll make you cheer, cry, and laugh. He's easily the best part of this show. These Marvel TV shows are so good it makes me think a lot of the creative talent is being dumped into these shows, more so than recent MCU movies.

And what special effects this show uses you don't usually see (even in the entirety of the MCU). Whenever you see an Egyptian god, it's like seeing a Celestial or any other otherworldly figure. And the things Konshu does with his powers are way more incredible than whatever you'll see Oscar's Moon Knight do. Of course, Egyptian gods can warp time and reality - that's as much as I'll say.

Now, the bad. There's some buzz (even though we don't know for sure) that Oscar isn't returning, and there may not even be a second season, making this first season feel empty since the way it ends, it doesn't feel like it stands on its own. An after-credits scene tries to wrap things up, but there are too many unexplored plot threads.

The issue with this show is that it has too many twists and turns. Every time one question gets answered, it raises two more. Also, the intrigue of blurring fantasy with reality gets grading. It's risky having Oscar play a literal crazy person because it almost makes his story meaningless every time the story flirts with the idea that this is all in his head. So, what does this matter if it's just some guy wishing he was a superhero? That idea by itself defeats the purpose of the show.

So, while I enjoyed watching this show, I don't know how memorable it will be. With all the other Marvel TV shows, the first season feels complete and grounded, and you at least have some vague idea of what a second season would look like. But, if the story doesn't continue and address unanswered questions by the end of this season, what was the point? Either an abandoned show with an unsatisfying conclusion that could have all been in some guy's head or something much more.
