Featured review
It's one of the dumber additions to the MCU... but...
...there IS a "but" (more on that later)
First the criticism.
In a universe so full of extraordinary superheroes and alien technology, it makes absolutely no sense that "good old Fury" is running around on his own, with a normal run of the mill pistol, to try to "save" earth from being taken over by aliens.
It's just unbelievable dumb in its premise, and despite excellent production quality (as is the norm for the MCU) the show is on track to get a 3.
BUT (and here is the kicker)... then enters Olivia Colman.
Her character lifts the entire show by 3 points, all by herself.
That understated, witty, stiff upper lip character just makes it all worth while.
More or less every time she is on screen you chuckle, if not laugh out loud.
Imagine taking her from "The Crown", with a few (obvious) changes, and then making her a much funnier stone cold killer, with absolutely no boundaries.
I'd happily watch an entire show based off just her character.
It takes the show from a waste of time, in an already overcrowded universe, to being something you find yourself grudgingly continuing to watch, despite all the illogical poorly thought out BS going on around her, just to watch what she does next.
I dearly hope they expand her character and give it a bigger part as the show develops, and I hope they are not dumb enough to kill her off, as that would instantly make me lose interest in this otherwise senseless drivel.
