Receommendations: Moon Knight

I'm not recommending this show with nearly the same enthusiasm as things like Spy X Family, Arcane, or Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Marvel's clichés appear throughout Moon Knight, but what's so refreshing is that they're not the main star of the show.

Rather than watching for the expected fight scenes, super-powers, and baddies being defeated, the real star is Oscar Issac and his unconventional journey through the character he inhabits.

Episode 3 is the real low-point, and be full warned, the final episode reverts back to status-quo, but the first two episodes, and 4-5 were a great watch that made the journey worth it, and give a glimpse to what Marvel can do when it's allowed to stray outside of its conventions.
