Of all the Marvel series, I was looking forward to Falcon and the Winter Soldier the least. The trailers hardly impressed me and the two protagonists never showed themselves to be a good duo. Your screen time together can be reduced to the few scenes from Civil War.

After the first 2 episodes I wasn't convinced either. Falcon with his backstory & morals didn't itch at first and Bucky, who was my favorite of the two, seemed very grumpy and annoying to me.

After Daniel Brühl's comeback as Baron Zemo, the series took a better & more entertaining direction with this three constellation.

General always had one action scene from the series burned into my brain per episode. One of the Falcons helicopter chases, the truck fight and the shootout at the docks.

I didn't care about the new Captain America and his partner until the end of episode 4. After that, the whole thing took a completely different turn.

And I don't wanna forget the antagonists, who, strictly speaking, cannot be called antagonists, got a clever and understandable reason for their actions.

I don't want to say anything more about the last 2 episodes, because they changed the average series for me into a real surprise hit from the MCU.

Definitely consistent and runs better from episode to episode than Wanda Vision, which quietly couldn't pick me up again after episode 3.
