New Streaming: Moon Knight- Episode 5

 As the end approaches, let's see how the second-to-last stop was.  It's Episode 5 of...

Life after death (of sorts) is not exactly friendly or simple.

When I'm in Limbo, I hope it's a Blockbuster Video myself.

The two side- Marc and Steven- must work together to complete an esoteric task in order to save themselves.

Time for Backstory!
We see defining moments- like the origin of Steven (which I won't SPOIL)- and other aspects that led us to where we are today.

Now...stretch those arms!
Can they overcome some sad, surprising truths?
Can they unite before all is lost?
Can they get back to life to stop Harrow?

To find out, stream the Episode now.
Another strong Episode with trippy visuals, a good story and some surprising depth.  A Show like Moon Knight wouldn't have this kind of thing, you'd think.  You'd be wrong.

Oscar Isaac brings some good depth to his dual(ish) roles.  Is his British accent the best?  Maybe not.  Does he feel like 2 different people with the same face?  Yes.  Even Ethan Hawke gets to join in the fun as the definitely-not-real-but-real Therapist he's playing here.  

It's weird, yes.

The whole thing is a good mix of weird, but emotional moments.  It's the best kind of experience you can get from so-called Prestige TV Shows.  With a shorter, set run like this, they avoid the pitfalls of other Shows of this kind.  It's all about balance, you know?

Next time, we see how it all wraps up in the finale.  Stick the landing, Marvel!  See you then...
