Although there are a lot of complaints about how these first two episodes have felt quite slow-paced, and I'm definitely not going to disagree, it's the right choice for this series. People had to expect something like this as soon as we were told it wasn't going to be as fast-paced and action packed as other superhero TV shows, focusing more on the spy/espionage sub-genres. What these episodes have been doing is introducing the new characters, fleshing-out the arcs of the ones we knew, and building-up the story, establishing the stakes and providing challenges and complications for the protagonists to face. It's classic story-building, and this show is doing it beautifully. So, slow-paced or not, I'm really enjoying this show so far, and feel as though it could really bring something spectacular.
