As a fan of the MCU (and of Bucky Barnes especially), I really enjoyed this show. I really liked seeing the character development of both Sam and Bucky as individuals, and as friends. The show starts out with the struggles they face following the events of "Avengers: Endgame," and into new struggles. While it still includes their hilarious rivalry from the films, it slowly shows them realizing that they have more in common than they realize, and they find a newfound respect for one another.

I also liked that the show brought back a few forgotten characters from "Captain America: Civil War;" Helmut Zemo and Sharon Carter, and it was very interesting to see their character arcs as well. From showing a more funny and human side to the dark, disgruntled Zemo, to a more streetwise and embittered Sharon Carter, I was really intrigued to see how their characters had been faring since we last saw them in the franchise. Likewise, I thought it was great that the show addressed current issues in our world today, especially systemic racism through the character of Isaiah Bradley- a forgotten super-soldier, whose tragic story was erased from history.

On the other hand, while I liked the way the show ended, I was disappointed that they never fully explained what happened to Steve Rogers, especially since he and Bucky never got the best closure that I was hoping for in "Endgame." Likewise, I wish they could have given Sharon Carter more redeeming qualities than they did at the show's end. The show did leave a few plot details unresolved, which I would have done differently, but otherwise it does leave Sam and Bucky on a more positive note, with them celebrating their victory with Sam's sister and nephews!
