I had a lot of hope for this series. It honestly looked like a down to earth spy thriller with an intriguing concept.
Sadly I was wrong.
Sure it has high production values and a lot of really cool actors involved, including the great Olivia Coleman. But apart from her character, the rest of the great cast's talents are wasted. Both Sam Jackson and Emilia Clarke are incredibly emotionless throughout the series, despite suffering heavy personal losses. The spy thriller aspect doesn't really do its job in conveying a deeper sense of dread. Even thought the villain is hateful, terrifying and kills so many beloved characters, they didn't explore his character or his motivations thoroughly enough.
There are so many questions lingering at the end, there are consequences that are left completely unexplored and further more, there are no end credits. Which was very shocking as it's the number one staple of the MCU (with the exception of Endgame)
It also doesn't help that the opening credits were created by AI, an ongoing problem in the creative industry now.
I think by now audiences have well and truly had enough of Disney and its mediocrity.
So disappointed.
