Warning: this is a spoiler-full review of the first three episodes of Marvel’s Secret Invasion television series starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn.
Marvel’s Secret Invasion was always going to have a tough hill to climb. Samuel L. Jackson is a beloved actor and Nick Fury has had several fun moments in various Marvel media but Fury hasn’t exactly been a character so much as a plot-mover for most of his existence. Seriously, try to recall a time in a previous Marvel show or movie where Nick Fury had a character beat instead of just an expository moment.
