We are just a few days away from the debut of the latest Marvel Studios series to come to Disney+, Secret Invasion. Some critics have been able to see the first two episodes of the series already and have posted their initial thoughts on social media.
Below is a round-up of some of the spoiler-free tweets we’ve come across…
Our resident Marvel expert, Mike Mack, says the show is “as tense as you can possibly imagine.”
Emilia Clarke’s new character, Giah, is being called a standout of the show.
“Secret Invasion” is said to have a “back to basics, spy thriller” approach.
The emotions appear to run the gamut from dark and ruthless, to the possible need for tissues!
The show has been called Marvel’s take on “The X Files,” while bringing even more depth to the character of Nick Fury.
With almost unanimously positive praise so far, this critic says the show is “easily one of the best MCU projects to date.”
For fairness sake, this critic wasn’t drawn in by the slow nature of the first episode.
