Secret Invasion (2023) TV Thread

[Tom]

Not sure about it; it sure looks more arresting than some of the other MCU shows' pitches - but it'll all come down to the execution. Certainly appears to be talking up a good, conspiratorial and paranoid game. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Nick Fury learns of a clandestine invasion of Earth by Skrulls.

The first episode was really good. Didn't expect that ending. Happy to see a few Phase One cast members back again.

Strong start. Ending emphasised that nobody can be trusted to be who they seem.

The first episode was really good. Didn't expect that ending. Happy to see a few Phase One cast members back again.

Really strong start. Just what you want in this storyline. Suspect everyone, trust no one. Assuming everyone is sus. Expect some long standing characters to be shock or not so shock infiltrators.

Fury grapples with past and present.

This episode was pretty good. Not much happened but there were a few good scenes in it, Fury/Talos, Fury/Rhodey and whatever Olivia Coleman is up to.

I like the way it appears they are going to introduce Super Skrull too.

Strong episode.

Olivia Coleman is fantastic as usual. Kingsley Ben-Adir very charasmatic too.
