Following the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Sam Wilson ("Falcon") and Bucky Barnes ("The Winter Soldier") team up in a global adventure that tests their leadership abilities and their patience. Created by Malcolm Spellman.

- While WandaVision excelled at writing, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier excelled at action. I was a little trepidatious about the concept at first, but ultimately I really liked it! The Falcon & Winter Soldier combination worked better than I expected, especially since both characters have a connection to super soldiers.

- I think the most important aspect of the entire show was the discussion of race. Marvel is finally starting to understand what it means to be diverse, and while there is still a long way to go, this show pushed us a great deal towards what it looks like to be inclusive and understanding.

- In terms of the story itself, I was decently confused by all of the conflicting parties. If you were to ask me to recap this show in detail, I would struggle, but I could definitely tell you I was entertained. Although I never really questioned who would be Captain America after Endgame (it seemed like Sam was always the perfect fit), which made the show seem unnecessary in terms of the grand scheme of things.

- If I ever got bored or was irritated with any characters in this show (William Burnside, I'm looking at you), the final episode totally negated those feelings. The helicopter scene alone would warrant a decent rating, but there were also quite a few full circle moments (which I love) and wholesome moments too.

- Overall, there was great action, great characters, and I loved the tie back to the origin story of Captain America. I'm excited to see how this leads into future movies, especially if it includes more of this unconventional duo.
