Promissing start of a new MCU character and his origin story
31 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
At first, I don't know anything about the character Moon Knight, about the comics and therefore can't compare the source material with this tv show adaptation.

I saw the trailer and it made me interested for this show.

Now, after watching the first episode, I'd say: It's a promissing start for a new MCU character for me.

I like the setting with the Egyptian Gods and lore, I like the set of a museum in London. Really cool, dark and atmospheric.

The direction of Mohamend Diab is excellent, the camera is playful, different angles, nice editing, the set designs are great (museum in London, appartment of Steven, a town in the Alps), the special effects are top notch.

High production values.

Oscar Isaac is a great choice and does a hilarious job playing Steven. Ethan Hawke is cool as always and a joy to watch.

Some jumps in time, some blackouts, paranoia and sleeplessness. Yes.

I'm hooked and waiting for the next episode.

Highly recommended.
