I re-watched this show after it first came out. My initial objections to parts of it (the villain is hardly a threat) still remain with me, but stuff I liked then and still like are Mackie and Stan's comraderie. They have good energy and aren't over the top like Captain Marvel -- so there's always some danger and struggle for them. The second watching was rewarding and although I will definitely NOT be watching again certain other Marvel/Disney tv series, I like the actors and whole Captain America II grittiness. Even US Agent I think turns out to be an interesting character. Plus, you got to love Zemo and the Wakandans. Weak parts are still weak: Julia Louis-Dreyus' strange comic threat (a threat to all known comedy) and the whole Power Broker thing. Some people dislike the "politics" of the show -- that's what made Captain America 2 so good -- they're just channeling part of it here. It's sad that some people uncomfortable with talk about refugees and social justice, that some people are uncomfortable with discussion of blackness and inequality. The show does a good job tackling those issues -- by precisely giving us a new Captain America to speak about them. Sam Wilson is shaping up to be an inspiring captain. It's more than the shield. I'm hoping we will see a Season 2.
