There’s references a plenty not just for Marvel fans, but for old tv historians as well. Sitcoms from the 50s and 60s and later decades get a referential shout out in all the visuals and set ups.
There’s an underlying darkness to the start of the series. The early episodes certainly are promising, but it’s the brave format choice that will keep this blog watching.
