World class actors, a writer from Mr Robot being a showrunner, unlimited budget for stunts and action scenes

But I'm not enjoying it, it started out promising, abit of a slow burn but isn't going anywhere or as epic as it should be.

The main villain Gravis is a bit of a joke, he isn't scary, menacing or emphathetic. There isn't time to build chemistry between Talos and Gaiah. Fury doesn't seem to know what he's doing, just reacting to events, just same vague idea of stop the Skrulls.

There isn't any suspense to who is or isn't a Skrull, no paranoia which was basically the entirety of Mr Robot.

The Skrulls also haven't really succeeded in much, the first bombing resulted in a boring hearing where the Skrulls grilled another Skrull.

They kinda threw away a surprise Skrull reveal very early on. Where Martin Freeman, someone who never interacted with Fury is a Skrull and gets killed off and doesn't affect the plot. But Maria Hill who's been with Fury since the first movie isn't a Skrull but is killed off for some reason. It would have been super cliche, but also built on the sense of paranoia that Fury didn't know how long Hill had been a Skrull over the years. Now Fury's only ally is already a Skrull. There's no suspense at all, no Among Us, who's the imposter

Loved Mr Robot, but I think most of the genius of that show came from Sam Esmail. One of the biggest drivers for that show was an air of mystery and intrigue which Secret Invasion doesn’t have at all. Instead of showing skrulls impersonating people from the first episode, they should’ve literally not shown a single skrull until episode 5 to make you question who is and isn’t a skrull. On top of that, having both the skrull and non-skrull versions of the characters out and about would be great for driving speculation, intrigue, buzz, etc. Trying to figure out why there’s inconsistency in how characters act and interact with each other could’ve made it a much more engaging show but Marvel really dumbed it down.
