    Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery might just be my character in the whole MCU.

    He steals every scene in this and everything he has been in as part of the MCU.

    Finished episode 1 and rolled right into episode 2 I thought it was cracking.

    Yahya Abdul-Mateen II just oozes charisma, Ben Kingsley really excellent and they have terrific chemistry!

    Not what I was expecting, some laughs, it is a lot more low key and with a very nice focus on male friendship the two leads attending a screening of Midnight Cowboy was a very nice touch.

    I read someone describe it as....Once upon a time in the MCU ha.

    I watched the first episide of this and found it very dry and tedious. It was a slog to get through. I hope it gets better or I am out.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I actually really enjoyed it. It felt far more unique and interesting than most of what Marvel does. The Doorman episode was quality, and the way it used Hollywood and the idea of blockbuster movies themselves was well done (though obviously not overly critical of the impact Marvel movies have had on that landscape).

    Plus it was pretty short and sweet. They were right not to release weekly imo.

    The trailer is enough for me to not even try this oddly enough.

    Interesting and enjoyable enough show compared to some of the rubbish that came before it, Kingsley steals every scene though and if it wasn't for him I think it would certainly be less entertaining

    Surprisingly really good show ! Ben is excellent as always and Yahya is brilliant.

    Go in with zero expectations, park the Marvel part to the side, and just enjoy the acting.

    I had a good time with it, just hope I can remember the darn thing. Guess I'm the only one who struggled with enduring so much of Kingsley's Paul McCartney impression.😉

    I'm not sure what I watched, but Ben Kingsley was brilliant.

    More of Trevor Slattery please.
