I am familiar with the broad strokes of the comics but haven't read them, which might have been the perfect way to go into this. I ate this show up and I haven't been able to finish a single Marvel DisneyPlus series (it's not you, Marvel, it's me).
Each episode has its own arc but still builds up to a larger story. Perfect mix IMO of esoteric ideas and concrete story-telling and motivations. Acting/casting is good to great. Effects are pretty much standard Netflix, but they're in service of cool, original ideas, which makes me forgive a lot of the clunkier shots.
I guess I finally understand why people love this comic series (which I understand the series follows pretty closely, to the point that it can deflate the suspense for people who know them well). For how dark it can get, there's a lot of heart, empathy, and even optimism.
I think this has been a hit for Netflix? Hopefully they can keep up this level of narrative quality.

And even with 5, I liked the idea of it and thought it was pretty relevant to right now, but it was executed in such an over-the-top way that it diluted the impact.

They could've stretched that out to a full season, as far as I'm concerned. The "vortex" part of the story was a bit of a letdown because it felt like building up to catching up to The Corinthian kinda came and went.
