Did anyone watch this? I'm not a MCU fan and the trailer did nothing for me. But maybe the series is still worth checking out?

I am watching it NOW, so I can report back LATER, 2.

R4, be sure to note that wifi access is spotty at Michfest.

OP, did you watch it? Unlike R2 I actually am a Marvel fan (albeit not of most of its more recent movies aside from "Deadpool & Wolverine"), but it'd be absurd to deny the extent to which comic book movies have ridiculously overwhelmed Hollywood. (That plus DC's are worse, but since both DC & HBO are owned by Warner Bros, I wasn't sure if they could take potshots at a corporate sibling, despite bullshit like The Snyder Cut richly deserving it.)

I thought it was way too inside for the average viewer. I laughed my ass off.

Meh. Ok but far from great. Don’t need to see more of it.

r6 Yes, I watched it just now. I thought it was just okay. The insider stuff is something new, but the dialogue really should have been punched up, and by a lot. It's unforgivable that so many of the jokes aren't landing in the pilot already.
They gave Daniel Brühl this heavy German accent coupled with fast quirky lines and super specific American references, and that unrealistic disconnect is just killing me.
Love Lolly Adefope, but my god those rear shots of her denim onesie were brutal, I felt so bad for her.
Richard E. Grant was the best thing about it and Billy Magnussen was pretty entertaining as well, to my complete surprise.
Cute North Carolina twink Isaac Powell caught my eye.

Second cute twink who caught my eye was Scottish-Italian actor Ruaridh Mollica. You might have seen him in that "Too Rough" gay movie a couple of years ago.
