Marvel presents - Meh! Knight. Start with a positive. From episode one the series starts very strong. A mysterious plot, a interesting view dynamic and unique characters. With each Steven 'blackout' scene flawlessly entertaining and well produced, I was gripped for the next week's episode. Oscar Issac does an amazing job potraying two polar opposite characters which flick from one to another in the same scene (Even though he did the typical stereotype british accent, his english mannerisms and terms were on point and I overlooked this). Story was not too bad, interesting egyptian lore and enviroment around the episode 3 area. Now the bad and the ugly. As we progress the story. We instantly flipped to another region with no warning, this is probably due to the very limited episode allowance the show was given. We are forced to down the large spoon of information given to us in episode 2 and just swallow the events of episode 3. How long was Marc in egypt? How did he get his leads? Why did Harrow walk around with glass in his shoes? Then we had a lack luster fight scene at a horse show, which again annoyed me. Clips of Oscar Issac's stunt training were shown a year ago which looked amazing but each time a fight happened we were giving a stunt man in the suit or a blackout which skipped any chance of actually seeing 'Marc the mercenary' skills. The asylum episode was really well done. No faults. Ending again lack luster. Quick stuntman in suit fight. The knock off falcon actually upstaging the main character during fight. With it ending in...Yup! A blackout and fight is over. Without spoiling too much ending just ended, not trying to tie ending loose ends as the clock was tickimg for the runtime so we get one more ending scene that doesnt really make sense and yup! The end. I would of liked a resolution with the mother and wife bit nah! We done hears a catchy song. I would of liked to see more detail, obviously its is hard to cram a whole characters story with a such a advancing and complex plot in 6 episodes. The whole show reminded me of a slab of meat and watching the butcher slice thin slices from it and giving it to you, when you feel you could have so much more.
