Save for an extremely abrupt finale and some instances where story beats do feel occasionally rushed along the way, “Moon Knight” still makes for such a challenging, unique, character-driven series that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in the MCU thus far. All that and more is thanks heavily to some creatively inventive visuals, a constantly unraveling but engaging story, and excellent performances given all around, most notably Oscar Isaac giving some of the very best work of his career and effortlessly carries the show on his shoulders with such an exceptional turn and one of the best we’ve seen in the MCU by far.

Consistently building a rising sense of stakes and atmosphere with a strong amount of skill and care, Denis Villeneuve beautifully directs a thrilling, layered, and intriguing work of science fiction that's gorgeously shot, uniquely structured, and grounded with intelligent and morally complex ideas. But at it's core, this is also a nuanced, resonant, and deeply emotional…
