The Goldfish Problem

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.

I found this to be a really solid pilot episode, probably one of Marvel's better ones.

We meet a new character to the MCU canon and learn just enough to want to keep watching. It is a very twisty forty-something minutes of television compared to most of Marvel's other stuff so maybe some who want everything explained precisely out-rifht won't get in to it... I thought it was fairly easy to follow. I've wanted to see Moon Knight on screen for a good while and Oscar Isaac's acting, along with the directing and visual flair, was more than enough to get me into it.

I did notice some pretty weak effects a few times. I'm not sure what that's all about. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed it and I already love the main character.

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 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.
