Of all the MCU shows, Hawkeye has been my favorite. How could it not be. Hawkeye is possibly my favorite Marvel character (in the comics) and never got his due in the Avengers movies. I quite like Kate Bishop too. In fact, taking many of its cues from the spectacular Slott/Aja series, though having (sadly) little space for its experimentalism, the show is built on a strong foundation. When it connects to the greater MCU, it makes for nice surprises, in one instance bringing in one of my favorite actresses back into the fold with delightful results. The action is fun. The LARPers too (were they doing a Warriors Three riff there?). Hangdog Hawkeye trying to finish his business so he can get home for Christmas is a nice seasonal ticking clock, and I think we come out of it liking him more, and there's no not-liking Hailee Steinfeld as Kate. It makes good use of Christmas in New York, and I looked forward to each end of episode needle drop. If I have one complaint, it's that the final boss gets chumped too easily, and even if the final moment is ambiguous, it would seem a shame to now get rid of such a potent character. I should just be grateful he was included at all. 2 years 3 months ago
