But as far as global espionage and secretly cartoonish terrorist plots go, it’s already made an episode better than anything Falcon and the Winter Soldier offered. Some of these comparisons are not flattering to Secret Invasion at least so far, it’s not quite Andor in terms of craft.

But it’s also hard to just watch the show without thinking of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (a great superhero movie that somehow got branded a “’70s conspiracy thriller”), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (a TV follow-up to a long-running story line), Andor (grounded corner of established fantasy universe), plus a variety of shows that try their hand at being supersize movies and fail. It’s not really fair to blame Secret Invasion for the inevitable superhero-property hype cycle, of course. Though it follows up on a specific story line from the Marvel films, it’s something darker in tone, more adult in execution - something closer to ground-level in a universe that has grown to fantastical proportions, almost like a spy thriller that just happens to be set in a world of superheroes, aliens, and occasional time travel. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: There’s a new Marvel Cinematic Universe release, and this one is something different for the venerable content factory.
