This show is ambitious, and tries a lot of new things for the Marvel Universe. It is a shame that none of those things work.

Oscar Isaac plays "Steven Grant", a museum worker who seems to be blacking out and struggling to remember where he has gone. Without going too deep into the details he is also the superhero "Moon Knight". The show spends a lot of time having the audience get to know the character of Steven, which could work, just one problem, Steven is incredibly annoying to be around. When Jim Carrey did "The Mask" he tried hard to make the character of Stanley Ipkus be interesting enough so people aren't just waiting around to see him put on the mask. That is not the situation here. Every time Steven is on screen I am looking at the clock waiting for him to turn into Moon Knight or a more interesting character.

The action is not very well helmed. We as the audience have no grasp of what Moon Knight's power sets are. Are these things hurting him? Is he close to dying? Is he bulletproof? This robs any action scene with him in it of any suspense, and just leaves us with a CGI mess. When Moon Knight is not involved in the action, the series likes to cut away from the action and hope the audience can use their imagination to fill in the gaps... There are so many reasons why that doesn't work. If you are going to cut away from the action, you got to give us something more interesting or engaging to latch onto. The show does not.

Ethan Hawke is a good cast for the villain. It is a shame he just plays a one-note self-righteous fanatic villain. He speaks all his lines in these monotone whispers, he comes across more annoying than he does threatening.

The story is full of many massive plot holes, and the characters make decisions that make no sense. The show seems to imply that having multiple personalities is a super-power, or if you were to lose another personality it would be like losing a friend. It's not. There is a reason why most comic book characters with split personalities are villains. It is not something to strive for.

On the positives...the effects are nice. Oscar Isaac does a good job acting throughout the series. The first bit where the memory loss is happening did leave to an interesting mystery. It is just a shame that the solution to the mystery is nonsense.

Moon Knight tries to be avant-garde, novel and thought provoking, but in the end is just shallow, nonsensical dribble. I've wasted enough time on this series, I say "good night" to Moon Knight.
