The opening sequence featuring The Falcon showed more promise than the first episode actually delivered.
The series could had been truly cinematic. Showing that a streaming platform could elevate episodic television above that of normal television and cable stations.
Instead it became a slow burn episode after the breathtaking opening that features villain Batroc.
Sam has money worries and is looking for a bank loan along with his sister. Being a superhero for hire doesn't pay enough.
After the blip, the world economy is not doing as well with half the population suddenly returning.
As for The Winter Soldier. Bucky has PTSD issues after decades of being an assassin. Haunted by all those people he killed.
The big surprise was that both Sam and Bucky do not yet meet up.
A nice touch, the first scene is Sam doing the ironing. Iron Man!
