First off, let me just praise Oscar Isaac's wonderful acting. He alone makes this show worth watching with an absolutely top-notch performance. Every moment he's on screen is a joy to watch.

Sadly, I can't really praise much else. With a few exceptions (1 scene in particular in the last episode), the fight/action sequences are pretty bland (often even nonexistent, as the show just cuts past the action); The story is convoluted, has its fair share of plot holes and characters acting against all logic for no visible reason, and overall just not that engaging; The villain is unbelievably boring, doesn't really do anything, and is mostly just incredibly lucky rather than smart/powerful.

There's also the differences from the comics, which disappointed me as well. For example, Steven is not a millionaire who funds Moon Knight's crime fighting, but rather... he's just a nobody. Without a financial backing, Moon Knight obviously can't have fancy gadgets, so... the gadgets are now just magical and they manifest at will.

That's a minor annoyance though. The big issue with them drifting so far from the comics is that... this Moon Knight just isn't a crime fighter. We don't see him exacting his brand of brutal vengeance on evildoers, doing Batman-esque detective work and putting fear into criminals. We don't see him... being Moon Knight.

Instead, what we have here is basically Indiana Jones With Superpowers. You could easily take this script, write the Superhero aspects out of it and turn into the next Indiana Jones movie and it would feel perfectly in place.

Now, I like Indiana Jones movies (minus The Crystal Skull, obviously), but it's just not what I think Moon Knight should be about. It's not what I wanted this show to be.

I guess the bottom line is, it's a very mediocre show and not a good adaptation of the source material, but Oscar Isaac makes it worth watching. I do hope there will be a season 2, and that season will focus on the aspects of Moon Knight that I am more interested in.
