So to my two complaints. First off we have Yelena who do not shot from a distance, blow up the roof top or use her weapons or skills in any form or way to knock out her target/s. Either she is just testing Barton, which is possible, or she is a very incompetent assassin. She would simply not act and do it this way. Which leads me to the next issue; the writing/directing. I am not sure if it is the writing that make the episode feel off and the ending rushed, or if it is the directing that is missing key moments and cannot build up scenes correctly. Perhaps it is both? Regardless the acting saves it. Despite the writing/directing being slightly off, all the actors do such a great job that in the end it barely matters. This is a great example of what great actors can do with a slightly subpar material.
With those minor complaints this is still an excellent superhero TV episode and should not be missed. This is a lovely show, and if they can stick the landing this will be one of the best things Marvel has ever done.
A strong 8 out of 10, and I highly recommend.
I enjoyed it very much.
Without too much words:
- witty dialogue
- really good chemistry between Clint Barton and Kate Bishop
- a lot of heart and humor
- vulnerable Hawkeye
- nice reference to Episode 2
- excellent fight scene and cliffhanger
Watch it, keep to the show, because it's getting better and now I'm hooked for upcoming episodes.
Well done.
8 stars.
