    I can’t put a finger on the missing piece… the cast are doing their best. The paranoia concept is great but it’s never “shown”. The time with Hill and the opening sequence were the only memorable times where the identity change had an impact.

    I understand the undercurrent fear but it feels like there’s no set up, just telling the changes. For example, everyone says Fury has changed but we never see the decline? Maybe the change is that he’s becoming a tired, old, cranky man? I wanted to see Fury planning and shrewd and espionagey.

    I’ve kept up with almost all MCU (for my sins) so maybe it’s an “unexplored character” thing. Going to keep watching for hope of payoff of these relatively boring setups.

      I think we’re going to see a whole lot more of that Fury in the next episode and going forward. The “even when I’m out, I’m in” line and him realizing how much the world needs him right now, seems like it’s setting up a return to old Fury

        One can hope. Just want to see some actual espionage stuff.

        So far the blood boiling lady has been my favourite of the lot.
