The crux of this series is that it takes way too long to create it's momentum.

This series is a bit of a slog in the first four episodes, and only the last two are mildly entertaining. The story is a bit thin, the only hook this series has, is the 'passing out' structure like in Nolan's Memento and the pact with a nefarious higher being like in Death Note or Venom. It honestly didn't really do much for me. The series tries too hard to be funny and it's just so wishy-washy as usual from Marvel. The villain is is also the same guy we've seen in so many marvel movies and with the same evil purple light (think of the bland villain of Doctor Strange) . There's some interesting bits here and there when it goes into serious areas, but it gets immediately buried under some weird choices (like the Hippo). There are some moments where I thought "this is actually a ballsy choice" but no, of course several things get reverted and we are back with the status quo as expected. Too bad, this had some real potential, but it got bugged down by contrived and unoriginal action scenes and quips.
