Had high hopes for this show, based on the performances of Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan from previous Marvel shows. Oh, how naive I was.

The handover of the Captain America shield to Falcon at the end of Endgame was a touching moment, which has been utterly eviscerated and recontextualised in this series. Social and political commentary in movies and TV shows can work when done correctly with some nuance. However, following on with the current trend in modern Hollywood, the overt nature in which the talking points are inserted into the show; it brings the story to a grinding halt.

Add to that heaps of plot contrivances, character assassinations and mind boggling motivations (*cough cough*, Karli), the writing was a mess. The problem with this being a Cinematic Universe is that there are established story beats that came before, which is completely glossed over by the team of writers tackling the work now.
