On the surface, it would seem like it has the potential but I think with everything combined and how everything has been executed to this point, it seems disorganized as fukk.
And then Olivia Coleman’s character seems to be aggressive enough trying to get info, exposing skrulls left and right
It seems like they could handle it by themselves.
The budget of D+ is slowing these shows down. They are trying to keep payroll low by not doing any crossover but the audience isn't going for it
good call, was just using a big dog as an example. Rhodey being the big Skrull reveal was obvious and weak. Nick being one would be whatever since he's been off planet and we've seen him as one already. this show needed something truly shocking, and i don't think that's coming. ending this show basically saying, "there are super skrulls now!" sucks. shoulda just cut this shyt out and started there tbh. we've got 400000 things we're still waiting to pay off, now we also need to see how the Skrull shyt plays out?

I don't know how they plan to land this last episode, but if this doesn't end on a cliff hanger in some way its going to seem like they wasted a major storyline with the skrull invasion.

This show is nothing but Fury being character assassinated
FACTS...
NOW FURY WAS A FRAUD
THE WHOLE TIME AND CARRIED
BY THE SKRULLS.
They hate their target audience, and they want to replace them. How Disney treats fans of their properties is like if McDonald’s starting running commercials calling their customers a bunch of disgusting fat asses.

So true
Exactly. Just beating him down in every scene but the thing is we're never shown why he has fallen off or not the same Fury. Disney has really dropped the ball on all of this shyt. The Skrulls could've been a nice follow up after Thanos but they're so short sighted and cheap that they skimmed on this show and it's glaringly obvious.
and i feel like i'll be in there saying... "why couldn't that have just been the inciting incident? why the hell did we need all that Gravik buildup bullshyt? When are we gonna see this dude again? 6 years from now? etc bytch whine moan mcu bad."they paid Khaleesi's quote for her to just be some little chick running around in the background for 6 episodes, but don't worry b/c she's probably gonna be the MCU proper's Super Skrull hero just to piss you all off. Maybe she can be Elaine Benes's #2 or something! Everyone was clamoring for more of Talos's daughter. Glad they got a big name for that instead of letting Shang-chi show his face for the first time in 4 years or something.
also, they hired Oliva Colman to be goofy twice an episode. 2x Oscar winner. Brought approximately 7 new viewers to the property. They could've probably gotten Sharon Horgan or something for half the price.
Honestly, the best part of this entire series so far was the open. They have Martin Freeman, a character we've become fairly familiar with but don't really care about, be a Skrull reveal. it was a good starting point. start with a known c-list mcu character and we're all thinking, "Damn, it's probably only gonna escalate from here. Next is definitely Rhodes! Then who? it could be anyo--no it's pretty much just Rhodes. the guy everyone cynically predicted." I really have no clue how they can end this show with any hype.

There was A LOT of mid during the Infinity Saga...it's just that the great movies overshadowed the mid and them post credit scenes had people excusing the mid.
X-Men gotta get this shyt back on track. I do think the new Cap could be a nice surprise.
If Ryan and Deadpool end up getting shyt back on track
As much credit as Fegie got as this mastermind orchestrator, you could argue the (critical) success of the Infinity Saga ultimately came down to the Russos directing back-to-back bangers (Civil War, Infinity War) and then sticking the landing with the last 40 minutes of End Game.
In addition, sometimes less is more with how it shapes perception. i.e. Conz mentions there wasn't nearly as much mid back then, but that's in part bc there wasn't as much content coming out. Less moving pieces and actually having to wait for the big tent pole movies to tie things together. Recall the first two ant-man movies each had 8-10 month gaps between their respective debuts and the next MCU project.
Man....the show is mid, but I'll finish it. Just wanted to express 
that Fury chose to marry a Skrull in blackface instead of a real Black woman. 
Hollywood really hates showing a true Black man & Black woman in a loving relationship, like g'damn..
