Moon Knight Season 1 Review

Moon Knight stumbles out of the gate with an utterly confused, inept character, but then nicely builds into a many-layered affair involving mental illness, delusion, deception, and supernatural power plays for the souls of humanity. Unlike other MCU projects, Moon Knight starts at the end, giving us the final chapter in the story of Marc Spector as Moon Knight, with star Oscar Isaac delivering the goods as a tired man with a splintered mind trying to dig himself out of a horrible hole. Oscar’s the confident centerpiece here, but he also not alone in his excellence. However, whatever flaws you might find in the Moon Knight design are largely countered by Isaac’s dual performance and his ability to find poignancy and purity amidst a sea of CGI and wild ideas.
