The writers obviously do not understand the concept of 'show, don't tell'.

When the writers feel the big plot message needs to be spelled out for people in a long dialogue sequence, it makes the audience feel like they're watching a kids show or being lectured. You can get across deep messages without words but with actions and sequences if you're a talented writer, which is a skill they lacked.

Whoever thought people watch super hero movies/shows to see them struggling with issues such as trying to get a bank loan or going to therapy, obviously don't understand why people like superheroes. Yes it might humanize them more, but it's also the things people typically watch these kinds of movies to escape from.

The first two episodes are slow paced and not great. The middle two episodes actually had good pacing and character development. The second last episode slows to a crawl and the final episode does not deliver on all the possibilities the rest of the season had set up. Which just left me feeling disappointed and with unanswered questions.

The main villain felt like they had a lot of potential but it was never delivered on. Same with other characters I won't mention so I don't spoil things.

If you want to keep up to date with what's happening in the marvel universe everything meaningful that transpired in this show can be summed up into one sentence. So, it's really not worth the 5 hour runtime.
