I held off reviewing this series until I watched it through, since it was really dull throughout, and I was hoping for an ending that elevated the whole. No such luck. Episode six was the weakest of the bunch.
I am staggered that they could make a show featuring shape-shifting aliens that can literally impersonate anyone, and still have it be boring. It was not fun. It was not funny. It lacked the "wow" moments you hope to get from a superhero story. Watching it was just a slog.
I understand they were going for Nick Fury in a story with an international espionage vibe, and I'm all-in for something like that. But those stories usually have clever plots and unexpected twists.
The best thing I can say about Secret Invasion is that it wad only six episodes. What a waste of Sam Jackson, Emilia Clark, Don Cheadle and Olivia Coleman. Good actors all, whose performances were squandered.
