Oh boy, wasn't that a disappointing show?
You have the duo of an 100 year old brainwashed assassin trying to escape his PTSD horrors by righting wrongs working together in an uneasy at worst alliance with the second in command of Steve Rogers trying to fight a group of disillusioned radicalized neo-terrorists in a globetrotting adventure, add in a old conniving antagonist of Zemo by the talented Bruhl into the mix along with a government funded cheap replica of the great Captain America who has a hard time adjusting to the role and you're supposed to get the best spy genre action thriller tv show. But no instead, we get irrelevant non sensical group of terrorists led by an psychotic angsty teenager who can't even act out of a wet paper bag. Just following into the footsteps of the previous monumental failure of Wandavision from the so called 'powerhouse' of marvel.
I guess they can sell anything now just by adding 'from the MCU.' The plot was paper thin, the characters under utilized and absurd so called 'twists' destroying previous character development, the action and plot was absolutely horrible. I guess hiring a second unit director of mediocre action flic as writer didn't work out for them.

Miles between this show and wandavision, and this is my final mark for this show full of msgs , and bad writing , episode 3 and 4 only.
So much wrong and not much actually good. So forgetting the bs awfully written storyline, Sam's kitsch suit, the morally bombastic dialogue that is agenda this and that. Also, the stupid things, Cap's shield can knock down super-soldiers, but gets knocked out of the sky by a chair, a friggin chair. However as with WandaVision, all the hints and winks lead to nothing of substance, all there because the plot was so badly written because all they wanted was the one agenda, racial motivation. If this wasn't once beloved comic book characters then most would not have bothered episode after episode and the honest ratings would exist and it is noted that a lot of people complaing that the negative reviews have disappeared.
Trust Disney to make things political just to try and make more money and don't forget everybody gets new suits, so every child needs new toy.

What can I even say.... I loved this show... Good Job Disney and Feige. Jjscjgegejgsjrjejsnfjca.
Bucky and Sam confront the Flag Smashers.
This is a okay finish that rounds off the character arcs well, presents plenty of heroic spectacle, but for me it trowels the social messages on a bit too thickly and in mostly uninspired ways.
The plot is one long action sequence followed by some emotional exchanges of dialogue that allow characters to complete their series arcs. This structure just about works but I think the action scenes drag on for marginally too long and get a bit distracting at times.
What kills all momentum and feels very clunky and out of place is a passage of dialogue written for one of the main characters. I have all the time in the world for the themes explored in this show, but for it to all come down to something as cheesy and clichéd as a preachy monologue is quite disappointing. It is so drawn out that it makes the actor sound he is giving an overly long Oscar acceptance speech.
All the scenes that follow are much better. Both Sam and Bucky finish off with some solid character moments, particularly the one involving Isiah Bradley.
The visuals are strong, with some great effects and action choreography.
All performances are great with Sabastian Stan and Carl Lumbly standing out. Erin Kellyman is better in this one but her character is largely forgettable.
