This was a really nice introduction to the world, or should I say the mind of Steven Grant.

We get a look inside this poor guy's daily life and what his job is and what he does. And Oscar does a great job portraying him.

I also liked that we're introduced to the villain this soon and we already know what he does, what his powers are and what his motivation and goal really is. Some might not like that they just threw us all these revelations, but I like that it's not one of those "let's not even show the villain and what he does for 2 minutes and we don't reveal what he really wants until the last episode" kind of storytelling.

And I also liked that we already get a Marc's Moon Knight reveal and action and that he's already Moon Knight and that they didn't delay the reveal till future episodes.

And obviously, it's not like they've shown us everything about these characters and there's no more mystery to them. We still don't really know Marc, Moon Knight and Arthur.

All in all, it's a really good introduction that sets up our protagonist(s), the villain, and the main conflict, with a great performance by Oscar Isaac and good cinematography and scenery and decent CGI, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming episodes.
