Great show, only wish it was longer
All in all, I really really enjoyed this show. I never cared much for Hawkeye, in any of the previous movies, so it took me by surprise how much I liked this.
A few highlights: -Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop is perfect. She is funny, and dorky, but still badass.
-Yelena being a part of this, has been the best decision (along with Steinfeld's casting) for this show. It brought in both emotion and humor, and really put the cherry on top. Her emotional scenes with Clint and Kate, and her chemistry with Kate truly made the show for me.
-Florence Pugh deserves a standalone mention. Absolutely amazing. Took a character that I think would have been a bit unlikable in someone else's rendition, and made her an absolutely heartbreaking tragic character that I can't help but root for.
-Kate's and Clint's reluctant buddy cop relationship is great. As I said, I never cared for Clint Barton, but this show made me like him
-The christmas theme during the whole season really pulled both the story, and the atmosphere of the show together really well.
-Pizza Dog is an absolute cutie, also deserves his own mention -I liked the more grounded feel of this show. I like the grandness of Marvel movies, don't get me wrong, but I really like that the TV shows have and utilize the opportunity to get a feel of how all these grand events influence everyday people's lives. (Especially true for Kate, and Yelena's storyline)
Just two contain some criticism in the review as well: -I really feel that this show could and should have been 8-10 episodes long. A few things could have been expanded on a little more. These 6 episodes had like 3 major storylines packed into them, and mostly, they did a great job of pacing them but I think the last two episodes should have both been 2 episodes at least.
-Some of the fight scenes were a bit B rated. Not bad, and compared to other TV shows, obviously great, but Marvel put the standard high and I kind of feel that this did not reach it.
-Can't say I cared much for the after-credits scene. Would have loved some hint at the future of any of the charactrers instead.
All in all, great job. I really hope they will do a season 2 sometime, maybe focusing on developing Kate and Yelena as the new Hawkeye-Black Widow duo, because they are honestly amazing together.
I'd give this 9.5 stars, if I could.
