The Goldfish Problem

This is a great way to start a show, i wanted to keep going the second the episode ended. This show looks to have a really interesting mystery throwing the viewer right into the action of the show. Oscar Isaac shines and Ethan Hwake does a great job playing a really ominous villain I can't wait for more. The cinematography was top tier on level with eternals at points, the directing was brilliant as was the script.

I haven't been this excited for the rest of an MCU Disney+ show since WandaVision. This episode does exactly what it needed to do; be intriguing, and set the bar for the series.

I thought Oscar Isaac did a great job in his role(s). He has a lot of charm, and the techniques he pulled off was done very well. He also conveys his problem in a very convincing way. The others also do a good job, including Ethan Hawk.

One thing I like about this show is how unique it is from the rest of the MCU. Like WandaVision, but with a twist, it's really trippy, and mysterious, which had me very interested in the show. While the CGI isn't impressive, the action scenes are at least decent, and a lot of fun.

Overall, while not without issues, it's a great start to a show, and has me very excited. Unlike some of Phase 4, this has me interested in what happens next.

Minus two stars for the terrible CGI. Seriously, some of the worst CGI I've ever seen from Marvel. Still an intriguing pilot that makes you curious to keep watching.

This first episode take greatness to another level, in so, so many ways. The acting is beyond fantastic, the directing bewildering, music score fantastic, and the scenes go from horror to comedy to action to drama back and forth effortlessly and logically in a way that should not be possible.

This is one of the best first episode of any TV show ever in history of television. Not a joke.

I do get if one or two think this is chaotic or weird or even a bit confusing, but to me this type of trip into the subconscious mixed with a big dose of psychology is just stunning. They nailed the character almost to perfection and I cannot wait to see more.

The only negative thing I can say is that this mindtrip can be a bit too confusing for those that do not know the character. To you I need to say that you should keep watching, I assume we will get further explanation as go on.

I give this a 9.2/10 but I will round it up to 10/10 just because this is so great.

This was a really nice introduction to the world, or should I say the mind of Steven Grant.

We get a look inside this poor guy's daily life and what his job is and what he does. And Oscar does a great job portraying him.

I also liked that we're introduced to the villain this soon and we already know what he does, what his powers are and what his motivation and goal really is. Some might not like that they just threw us all these revelations, but I like that it's not one of those "let's not even show the villain and what he does for 2 minutes and we don't reveal what he really wants until the last episode" kind of storytelling.

And I also liked that we already get a Marc's Moon Knight reveal and action and that he's already Moon Knight and that they didn't delay the reveal till future episodes.

And obviously, it's not like they've shown us everything about these characters and there's no more mystery to them. We still don't really know Marc, Moon Knight and Arthur.

All in all, it's a really good introduction that sets up our protagonist(s), the villain, and the main conflict, with a great performance by Oscar Isaac and good cinematography and scenery and decent CGI, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming episodes.
