Finally viewed both episodes back-to-back last night.
I'll preface by saying I wanted to hate this, wanted to complain about everything. However I was pleasantly surprised and I'll even go so far as to praise Marvel for bucking the superhero 'TV' trend. The show, on the surface, is a gamble and I was in the "I hate this before I've even see it" group. The first episode was just 'fine' (found myself bored a couple times) so I was still on the fence if I would invest the time going forward. The second episode was fantastic, absolutely great, and now I'm hooked.
Kudos (again) to Marvel for doing something so creative and different; opposed to the boilerplate boombangboommichaelbayexplosionsvillanssuperheroes. This show works but it is the definition of a slow burn, of which I can't wait till it's a bonfire.
4.8/5
