Review of Hawkeye

I was initially not interested in this show because as I understood it, the point was to have Barton pass along the title of Hawkeye to some girl before he retires. But hubby wanted to watch it (he is a Marvel completionist) so we did.

Pros: I feel the pacing is good. By contrast TFATWS seemed too fast-paced and we ended up missing bits of story. Action sequences are ok.

Cons, oh so many cons. Bishop is too overconfident and full of herself in a smug, unpleasant way. Possibly valid behavior from a rich 'only child.' Hawkeye has trick arrows that could have been well-used in the movies up to and including Endgame but they never were. Too much emphasis on the dog. Also, the whole plot line seems contrived: what is the problem with the Ronin suit being seen in public? Just let it go, Hawk. I'm also curious as to why Barton and his youngest kid use ASL to each other, when the kid clearly has no hearing issues (he speaks on the phone with Barton without a problem). Barton's hearing issues, since they can be corrected by hearing aids, are not severe enough for him to need to learn ASL.

Will finish the series hoping for better episodes.
