Featured review
Betrayed
This show has been on a very good trajectory. Despite my apprehension towards it being on television and not getting the full treatment it deserves, it has been doing the right things to set us up for something that could potentially change the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever. However, there's still a lot of skepticism on my behalf, especially because the show is so short and I'm they'll come to a place where they have to rush it if they want to get to the finish. And this is the first episode that's showing weak signs, because this episode was dull and an overall inconsequential experience.
There are some very good moments across this episode. When the show focuses on the character relationships and the moments of character development, it's very good. There are some good moments with Nick Fury as we explore his personal life, which took a drastic change last episode when we met his wife. And his relationship with Talos is explored more, and there is a lot of unspoken truth between them that is finally coming out after Fury's blowout last week. All of that is very good. It's the rest of the episode's material that's the problem. There's not a lot of actual progression for the story here, and whenever it seems like they're doing something and feeding us some intel about what's coming next for the Skrull's plan, the writers pull it away in an almost "gotcha"-like manner. And it's so egregious that at the end, you're sitting back with a feeling that you've sat through the entire episode for nothing. There's an argument to be made that these shows are too short, but for some reason, they're still able to include that one episode that feels like filler, so it's a weird dilemma that's really difficult to find a way out of. And again - and I hate to sound like a broken record, so this is the last I'll say about it - this show feels incredibly small scale. It's getting more and more annoying, and it really feels like that someone else should come in and help, but they can't because it's TV.
"Betrayed" pulls the rug out from underneath the show's momentum and gives us an episode that feels irrelevant to the show and its overall narrative. There are moments of nice character development and some cool teases, but nothing that the show couldn't have done in a more compact episode with much better and consistent writing.
