It was much better than I expected. The series was really different from other Marvel projects. Honestly, sometimes you even forget that this is a Marvel series. I will be very happy to see these characters again in the future.

The whole series is very good, I liked that you seem to be watching superheroics, but at the same time superpowers are in the background. But how infuriating these assumptions are that in a super-secure prison, some kind of guard can easily do data on a person and this very prison easily employs a person. Have they not heard about biometrics? Yeah...

For me, the series is on 6/10: it's easy to watch, it's a beautiful picture, there are emotional moments, but I didn't feel much excitement. Honestly, I was expecting a little more use of the character's superpowers from the Marvel project.
I liked the doorman series the most, there were superpowers and show business in equal numbers.

Overall, the series turned out to be a bit different from what I expected. But it's better that Marvel makes such series than the conditional Iron Heart. Well, this is probably the first TV series in my memory where the filler episode turned out to be the best😁 Well, it's worth noting that Ben Kingsley played great. He's the best thing about this project.

It seems that for some more obvious connection to the MCU, a small cameo of one of the superheroes of the universe is missing, in addition to mentions of them in the dialogues. Otherwise, it really looks a little foreign and Trevor alone is not enough, although Kingsley is certainly good).

The first episodes set a pleasant tone, but then there was a lot of water. The chemistry between the main actors and the funny behind-the-scenes moments of this industry saved the day. But it still didn't leave the feeling that the backbone of the plot wasn't related to Wonder Man as a character at all. It was as if they had taken one of thousands of unrealized scenarios (or even sketches) about a superman. In this case, it's about a superman who is hampered by his ability to become an actor (to work with/using his powers). He is helped by an experienced mentor, who later turns out to be a fake rat, but who sacrifices himself for the sake of friendship. About ten years ago, I think a lot of projects about supers were written, especially immediately for streaming for pennies. For now, it's enough to change a couple of names, and voila, a new project in the iconic universe is ready. This project does not make it bad, but there remains a feeling of insincerity, which is just the way to go in the theme of this series.

The ending is a thrill! In general, everything that happens in the last episode was pleasant.
I didn't expect anything, but I really liked the series, in one go, straight to the heart.

This narrative format is ideal for a Marvel Spotlight product, as they focus on character and realism. Their first breakdown was "Echo", but "Wonder Man" is even more realistic than echo.
In general, I'm really looking forward to the continuation, and new pictures from this Marvel initiative!

Reading the comments, I understand that not everyone realizes that this is a separate initiative, different from everything else that Marvel produces. Therefore, I don't take seriously upset critics, or dissatisfied ones, or those who lacked something.
I think this series is great! I had enough of everything with plenty.

The series turned out to be quite good! When you watch it, you forget that it's from Marvel.
But there is a feeling that without the superhero tag, he would have been perceived as a typical Netflix product and would not have been praised so much. But for Marvel, of course, it's new and unexplored, we've done a great job! Music is fire.
Of course, there are questions about what, for example, doorman was for, many, of course, wrote that for some kind of parallel between him and gg, but the series turned out to be great, I would like to continue watching this superhero)
The brain-shattering moment, which turned out to be just a nighttime delusion, smelled like "boys," cool, but not what you'd expect from Marvel.
The second season, I think, should be expected, but the first one was completely lacking in entertainment, if in the series with doorman they were able to competently combine the acting environment, character development and his powers, then why are they dragging their feet? Did you initially realize that there would be a second season? Very few forces are shown.

How to stretch nothing into 8 episodes. It was possible to make a feature film with a normal plot and shorter.

I looked it up one evening. Of course, it's completely out of the classic Marvel. Superhero 2/10, Drama and Water 8/10
But in general, it's pretty good, it's interesting to see what happens next.

Andor from the Marvel world

It turned out well, the main duo is good, purely because of their chemistry, I want to see another season.

It's an unusual format for Marvel's series, but the series is fun, light, with good dialogues, and of course the ending is pleasing. Probably everyone watching had good impressions after the final scene, finally we saw his abilities!!))

After the last Daredevil (or whatever the last one was), there was zero expectation, but it turned out to be quite watchable. Good bromance, good main actors, interesting and funny acting cuisine.
The episode about the man-door is very popular. It even occurred to me that the MCU could have its own Black Mirror, with all sorts of complete stories about people who were somehow touched by all this superhero madness.

But the main advantage is that there are 8 half-hour episodes at once. I took a quick look and forgot, the buzz.

It's a light, pleasant, sweet series, but the comments on all the sites are as if they expected a heavy drama.

The series is high, humor and drama (not heavy, but still) in place, you empathize with the characters + short, decent

I'm really looking forward to season 2

It's a good series. Yes, Marvel action fans probably aren't satisfied. But, in my opinion, it was clear from the trader that it was more about people than about superpowers))

Of the obvious advantages: the absence of a love line as such. Yes, they showed that the girl was leaving because Simon wasn't getting close, and later they showed why.
The second plus is good humor and the absence of toilet jokes.
Third: caste. The wonderfully talented Ben Kingsley and the equally wonderful Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (God forgive me).

Overall, I've watched more, but it's like the next season is going to be more superhero. In theory, Simon's superpowers should be countered by someone in order to return them both to prison.🤷🏻


PS and what about the New York Times article in the end?)

of the recent Marvel series, at least it looked without facepalms, but in terms of drama it's a pale parody of Barry. and there is no point in such a timekeeping with such a scenario at all. There's enough water to wash a herd of elephants. The character of Simon Vanderman is absolutely worthless and mediocre with a corresponding generic background. If it wasn't Mandarin, then it wouldn't be worth looking at at all. The fourth episode of Dorman alone makes more sense than the rest of the series. Well, someone liked it, and that's good. I will not wait for the continuation, but I also wish for closure. It's rather a pity for the time spent watching, it would be possible to take a better look.

I don't even want to compare it with other Marvel series. And in general, it's probably not worth considering him as a superhero. More chamber history. I started watching it only because of the infoshow that it's about the world of cinema. And in general, I didn't regret watching it.
But the series is stretched. In fact, the Dorman series practically repeats the entire plot of the series and at the same time it is amazing from beginning to end. And if they had started to stretch it, then this series would have turned out.

It's a wonderful series, it has such a nice vibe and is generally very well done. Here, the shooting and the very scripted presentation of the story, which echoes the fictional film, and the awesome bromance and the audience are not mistaken for idiots.
Superheroics are generally in the background, based on the misadventures of two unfortunate actors, and with all the attention to detail, to show business, with references, cameos and brilliant acting. For me, the series is beautiful precisely in its simplicity. Funny, sincere and lively. I really want to watch this tandem on the screen)

Well, in general, it turned out pretty well)

Is this exactly what Marvel did? Maybe they had a tape planted under their door and their families were being held captive.

Actors play actors who act, rather than saying they are actors. Unfortunately, it all looks terrible in casino voice acting, it's better to wait for the normal one.
There is no hidden, inappropriate music like in all Marvel movies.
The cute and funny scenes are not in one piece. The plot is clear, the actions are connected. The characters behave as if they are normal, healthy primates with a developed nervous system.
But Marvel doesn't have the money for a nice wig. Shameful stuff at the level of Asian dramas knocks you out of the feeling that they finally got it.

Gradually, they made it clear that gg was super cool, they mentioned damage control, which probably explains to the fans where and what is happening.
But this story is not about the heroes of the first echelon, or the tenth. Everyday life does not infuriate, because it was originally indicated that the character should open up and explore his powers.
Audition scenes, work on the set, non-stamped text reading. You start to believe that actors can exist.

I barely remembered who the Mandarin was, it was clearly planned as a one-time prank, but then a side character was abruptly promoted.
Within the framework of the universe itself, the plot leads nowhere. Or it's a side story to show a mundane aspect of life. Or, later, the character will be introduced into the new cast of heroes, because he is too strong for a one-time action.

I want another season.

It turned out to be a pretty good series. I seem to have gotten tired of the Marvel superheroes of recent years, so I was just glad that the focus was on character history. But the ending was kind of confusing. Not only is this whole scam with the prison guard sewn by white threads, but it's unclear how Simon suddenly mastered his abilities, which he was so afraid of and could not control all his life.

I won't say that I didn't like the series, but I can't say that I liked it either! Some mixed emotions, if it wasn't a Marvel series, then most likely I wouldn't have watched it to the end, it was boring.
They told us all the way about auditions, auditions, and attempts to get a role, and when filming finally started, I think they're going to show us how to make a movie, but we didn't see anything, and the movie came out right away.
An entire episode was devoted to some kind of nouname to show that people with superpowers should not be allowed to act in films, they could at least show him in this prison, so that all this would not be for nothing.
We spent a whole series on an interview, which eventually didn't work out or came out, we never found out.
Anyone can get into a super-secret prison with forged documents, a man with superpowers escaped from a prison for people with superpowers, destroying the ceiling - ingenious plot twists.
There weren't enough cameos to connect with the cinematic universe, it would be possible to add different characters from other series to remind viewers that they exist.
Of the advantages, I can mention the interaction of the main characters and separately Trevor, I liked him the most!

I was expecting something like "Olaf will return in Avengers Doomsday" at the end.

It was good :)

I liked that this series shows the lives of people in the MCU universe outside the circle of superheroes. when Trevor decided to try on the role of the mandarin again, I already screamed) it's actually amazing that Plottwistle, who in 2013 everyone hated, eventually led to such a finale) trevor is definitely one of the most memorable supporting characters) and what will happen to Simon - we'll wait and see)

It turned out pretty well, although the Dorman episode is much better than the rest of the series. It's a pity that Marvel won't be returning to these characters for a long time, but it would be interesting to see both Trevor and Simon.

I started watching with zero expectations. It's like without a lot of promo and marketing, or everything passed me by. Initially, the only thing that caught on was the return of Trevor Slattery. And here it's just so well shot with such a good plot and not a second too long. Just when well done, well done.

And it was unexpectedly good!
Specifically, where super strength is just an excuse for a TV series, and man comes first. At the same time, it's not boring at all, except for a couple of moments of the first episodes.

not the best Marvel series, but not the worst either. I'm honestly surprised that many people liked him so much. I think Ben Kingsley pulled it out. I can recommend it to those who are looking for something light and unobtrusive.

The series is good, but there's nothing about the ending. The most logical and only option was to make some kind of deal with the authorities. They say the mandarin is released , he is allowed to work under supervision , and in return he will be on hand when needed. Everyone is happy

Overall, it's not bad, I watched it in one sitting, but there's not enough action and character disclosure. Where does the Miracle Man's power come from? What happened to Dorman? And so on. There is a sense of understatement and unfinished work.

Where's the post-credits scene?

There were minimal expectations due to rumors about the use of AI in the series. Surely it was really used in the creation of the promo of the "original" picture of Wonder Man, which is disappointing. But in all other respects, the series is pleasantly pleasing! I haven't watched a movie studio yet, but I've noticed vaguely similar vibes with one of my favorite TV series, Tricks. It was unexpected and pleasant.

I'm glad that Marvel has finally found the right ground with its series department. Recent works (Agatha, Heart, Wonder Man) have been very good. It's a pity that the studio is unlikely to continue doing something like this in the near future, and after Vision, nothing original is expected – only sequels of animations and so on.

The second season is asking for itself, and for the first time there is a feeling that the studio can give it the green light. We'll see.

Ben Kingsley is a godsend. The chemistry with Simon is incredible. I hope that in the future Trevor will continue to appear in the film universe and will definitely tell Simon about his trip to Asia.

It's an ambiguous series, it seems like it's not bad, but it's not exactly interesting, on episode 6 you're already wondering if it makes sense to continue watching it at all.
In any case, I watched it so as not to lose the entire storyline of the KVM.

I really liked the series, it's so light and soulful. There's no Marvel vibe, and that's fine. I was expecting another superhero popcorn, but I got a cool bromance with a bunch of references to the film industry, a good drama and great acting, and just an unrealistic series about tangerines.

I'm pleasantly surprised. The series is very good. He's light, vibe-like, sincere, funny. It doesn't look stressful at all, as the episodes are short. The duo of Simon and Travor Slattery is cool, they have chemistry. I looked at Travor differently after this project - he's not just an eccentric actor, but also capable of friendship and self-sacrifice.
Dustin Kratton has made a very strong series, I would even say that one of the best. He has little to do with KVM, but that's the beauty of it, as he just tells a good story, but in a KVM setting.

That's what most KVM series lack - a strong and interesting story that can bind you to the characters. And not just to work out the agenda.

If they remove the sequel, then I will be very happy)

Excuse me, but is this really a superhero series? It was like watching a full-fledged soap drama, not a Marvel project. Of course, I liked it, but it's not what I expected. They didn't even deliver any action. Sadly.

I started watching this series because someone in riles recommended it as hidden jem, which is better than all the recent Marvel projects. The latter turned out to be true, but the "Miracle Man" did not inspire me. It's just a good, solid piece of work with a touch of ironic commentary on life in Hollywood, which has long since ceased to be a fresh and exciting idea.

As for me, GG's acting leaves much to be desired.
