Fantastic action and fight scenes with great choreography, but only average if not cliche plot-wise.

The plot is unnecessarily convoluted and dull. It's the same boring fictional political drama carried over from Infinity War, Endgame, Civil War, etc. I'm so tired of superhero movies trying to be political dramas but just end up repeating the same shallow 'social commentary' that's been sanitized and recycled to death in hollywood.

So many subplots and new characters all crammed together that nothing gets the proper development it needs. Often these new concepts are simplified down to just passing lines of dialogue in order to condense things rather than taking time to show us.

For a show so short and almost constantly moving, I found myself checking my phone a lot waiting for things to get interesting again. Frankly, the whole plot surrounding the girl and her terrorist super-soldier group could've been cut. I've seen it before (in the Marvel universe too!) and it brought nothing new to the table.

But where it concerns Bucky and Sam together it's great. All the actors do a great job, and Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie have just as much chemistry on screen as off screen.

If you like Bucky Barnes and like watching Bucky Barnes beating people/things up like I do, then it'll be well worth the watch. If you're just looking for some good action, it'll give you that too.
