Falcon and the Winter Soldier is turn-off-your-brain levels of fun taking place after the Avengers: Endgame movie. It's got loads of political commentary here, but the real thrill is seeing Bucky and Sam kicking ass here and there trying to live up to Captain America's legacy.

This isn't a show that requires -nth degree of MARVEL knowledge to enjoy: it's got the same levels of fun as an instalment in the Fast and the Furious movies, or any old fashioned Bruce Willis movie. It's dumb but proud fun; it tries to add some deep political commentary but it doesn't really need it to get its dramatic points across.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is fairly solid entertainment and it doesn't try to pretend to be high-art or anything.

I give this show a 4/5 stars: or maybe even 3.5/5. Not sure which, but I definitely enjoyed myself while watching.
