This is a field guide on how to do a disservice to existing characters, forget what pacing and character arcs even are, cram twenty-two episodes' worth of themes and subplots into six (and fail to juggle them properly at that), write both ill-timed and unfunny humour for everything except the trailer, and bash everybody over the head with politics.

The show could have been -- should have been -- so much more. The seeds for really good character beats and themes were in there, but ultimately ended up getting buried under the less-than-stellar elements. A real bummer for me, as I like Sam and Bucky... but only brief glimpses of them in their own show.
