Marvel's huge cinematic universe and reservoirs of comic book lore, along with millions of fans hungry for more, have enabled them to produce an amazing TV show the likes of which has maybe never been attempted before. Let's be clear; if you're not already heavily invested in the characters, or are maybe only a very casual fan of the movies, this show will leave you utterly confused and underwhelmed. True, the short runtime and weekly releases don't do it any favors. But if you're patient and have faith in the idea, it's so incredibly rewarding as everything plays out before you. If you're a fan of the movies AND the comics, there are an almost dizzying amount of references and nods crammed into each episode. I'm NOT a comic book person (and you don't need to be), so I get almost equal enjoyment in watching video reviews after each episode that pick everything apart and explain all the stuff that went over my head. More of this type of content, please Disney!
