Okay, it's just two episodes in so this isn't a comprehensive review but I like it so far. First episode was great, I loved how we sorta get to look at it from Spencer's point of view and you can feel how panicked and nervous he always is and what he deals with, I was however left yearning to see more of the Egyptian mystical powers and we only got a glimpse but the following episode gives us a better picture. It's taking longer than I thought to build up but I wouldn't call it slow paced, i think I'm just eager to see everything unleashed. I love how stand-alone it is and how I have to remind myself it's a marvel production which makes me even more excited to see how all this fits into the MCU( I don't read the comics). Oscar Isaac is great and I've always been into Egyptian mythology and I'm excited to see Egyptian gods brought into life by marvel and hope it lives up to it's potential. Ethan hawk as the antagonist is also perfect for the role and steals the show every time he's on. Only thing I'm not too pleased about so far is it's a spencer show all the way and we don't get to see moon knight fully released, or the power of the gods, but then again it's only two episodes in and maybe that's how the story's told in the books. Also, in episode two marvel tried to sneak in a few forced laughs, I've been saying this for a while, as good as it is to have a laugh but we need to be released from the clutches of whoever decided superhero movies and shows all need to have laughs in it. If there's an uncontrived funny scene that's fine, but don't go out of your way to devise one; it's absolutely perfect for it to be dark or serious. Humor in like deadpool for example was amazing and made sense for the character, doesn't mean it should spill over to everything else. Apart from that, so far so good, it's a good start and I hope it only keeps getting better from here.

UPDATE: it's up to episode 5 now and it has gotten better, we get to see more of Marc, a huge truth bomb and there's more character development. We see more if the gods in action too and understand how they work and their intentions. We do get more action but it's not to grand scale, still good though. As it stands, this is now my second favorite MCU series after wondavision and looking forward to (if) moon knight enters the movies as well.

I just realized there's only one episode left, and considering this is a miniseries and Oscar isaac made sure his contract ends right after, I presume they intend to leave as few unturned stones as possible and complete each story line; and that concerns me a little because it might make the last episode feel a bit stuffed in order to do that. The writing has been amazing so far though so that gives me some confidence that that's not going to be the case. Oscar isaac has also given a spectacular performance and I hope he receives some accolades to reflect that, it's well deserved so I hope it's still remembered at the end of this year or early next year when award season arrives. When the potential actors were announced for moon knight I was hoping rami maleek would get it but Oscar has once again proved his acting pedigree. His portrayal of different characters was so distinct and I really love when actors do that, like James McAvoy in Split. Moon Knight has been a great show so far and I hope the finale tops that off.

Moon Knight, Eternals, ShangChi, Dr Strange, Wandavision, Loki... I like where the MCU is heading.
