I waited until the end of the series before reviewing Ms Marvel. I felt that episode one started strongly and established the main characters well. I instantly liked Kamala Khan and was a fan of the Marvel-esque- although slightly immature humour - that was employed. However, as each episode progressed, I felt that they'd introduced far too many characters - some of which, in hindsight, were completely unnecessary. By having both the Clandestines and Damage Control as the villains both impacts were completely diluted, and at the end of the series I was left thinking that if the Clandestines had been removed completely the beginning and end of the series would have been exactly the same. It felt to me that the writers had established a good character, a good family set up, but then struggled to determine who the main villain should be. As each episode progressed I became less interested in the storyline, and that's a shame given the strength of the series that Marvel have produced since it began with WandaVision. I can't see that there will be any Emmy nominations for Ms Marvel. I'm wondering whether a lesson learned for Marvel / Disney is that introducing a new character via a TV series is not the way forward. It felt we had to endure 6 episodes just to understand the beginning of the next Captain Marvel film. I'm disappointed that I didn't enjoy the series as much as I wanted to. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either, and as I've loved pretty much everything Marvel has produced since Captain America: The First Avenger this really does stick out as a weak link. For me it was the writing and storyline that let the series down. I am hopeful that The Marvel's film does more justice to the character of Kamala Khan.
