“The first season seems a bit bland, but once Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out and they were able to make the big reveal it really took off. If you rewatch the first season knowing the reveal, it makes it even better. You can see the pieces were in place and it was truly a great table setting. Then, the show just really found its footing and became something special, in my opinion.”

“I kind of thought it was going to be a low-budget MCU TV series without the Marvel magic, but boy, did I get invested. We had programming issues in Australia with it being swapped around different networks and streaming platforms, but I persisted and grew to love it and the characters.”
