SPOILER FREE REVIEW
After two years of set-up, some uneven entries, it all finally all pays off...
http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldsKpwM7Yws[/video]
Binged the 8 episodes over two days, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Like the previous series, it takes it time focusing more on character and story, but the pacing (unlike Luke Cage or Iron Fist) feels appropriate with no real filler or unneeded side plot. And when the action does happen, Netflix brings it's A-game! Solid fight choreography, excellent editing and strong direction.
The strength and charm of the series is of course seeing all our heroes together and interacting, and it does not disappoint. Lots of nice moments, easter egg nods to their Marvel Comics relationships and potential set-ups for Netflix's PHASE II.
I don't know if someone who has not watched all four previous series would have a clear understanding of what is happening? But if you have invested the time, you receive a very satisfying pay off with each of our heroes finding some sort resolution and renewed purpose after all the trials they have endured.
And villains.... The true purpose and all five fingers of THE HAND is finally revealed, bringing to close all the dangling plot threads from the various seasons. Sigourney Weaver is excellent, bringing a layered and engaging performance to her Big Bad character of Alexandra.
All in all, for me, an excellent adventure that has renewed my faith in the Netflix Marvelverse and has made me very excited for Phase II.
Thumbs Up for me.
