The luxury afforded to telling a story through a TV series instead of through a film or even a trilogy, is being able to develop the characters and this first episode demonstrated that intention. The action was still top draw but I'm intrigued at what's already been teased about the characters back stories and personalities. Anthony Mackie is a really good actor and has the perfect charisma, swagger and arrogance for Falcon. However, he can now also develop more of his moral, patriotic and loyal side of his personality that we see glimpses of in the films. Winter Soldier is my favourite Marvel film because of the live action and not too much CGI and because of the Winter Soldier character. Sebastian Stan is a good actor and also now has the opportunity to show this off and develop the character like Makie. I can't wait for episode 2
