The rest of the stuff is okay. I guess, in the end, as mentioned in my previous review of the previous episode, the show is fine. It's not trying to be groundbreaking or altering the MCU workings like shows like WandaVision and Loki are. But neither is it trying to be Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This show isn't as much about spying and that stuff but more about the superhero life. What it means, what it makes you give up on, what it takes from you. An exploration on past mistakes and the coping of loss and the search for redemption.
All explored through a very suiting lense of Christmas backdropping. A time dedicated to Family. Something both characters are struggling with through the show in one way or another. I like the show so far, the nods at Christmas movies and music, the characterisation, the action for the most part. Even most of the side characters are fine. But as mentioned earlier, the show isn't trying to be revolutionary, there's a bunch of cliches that make the plot predictable, jokes that break the monotony and at times are cringe and overall that Marvel charisma that seems to charm away.
After the ending, I am looking forward to seeing how the conflict resolves and the new character dynamics that spur from it. I feel some characters aren't as fleshed out yet so it'd be nice to see more of them.
