The first episode was awful, 2nd not so bad, but it does actually get better and worth watching.
They’ve gone for a strange stylistic way to film the show, which is probably the hardest part to get past, but you get used to it.
It has some great actors in, but unfortunately the script is poor. Which makes it difficult for the actors. Although, there are some poor actors mixed in with the good.
It actually got a fairly decent storyline if you keep going. Which is a shame as it could have been a really good show if produced etc by someone else. I’m very confused to why they took this approach in the show, it makes it seem low budget.
It comes over as a children’s or family show in a lot of ways, but in fact it’s not given the brutality, swearing, gore etc.
I’m glad I pushed past the things I didn’t like and focused on the story/plot.
For anyone curious why there are no episodes past The Making of Shang-Chi, trakt collects its episode content from The Movie Database. It is a user content-generated site. TMDB determined that all other episodes have been released as stand-alone documentaries. If you look at Disney+, the Assembled show page ends with episode 6: https://www.disneyplus.com/series/marvel-studios-assembled/3RUQKboZV3FF.
While IMDB and other websites continue to treat each new release as a separate episode, TMDB decided to cancel the series and prevent anyone from being able to add new episodes. You can read the thread here: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/118924-marvel-studios-assembled/discuss/620589dbf48b3400dbd4a6b7.
It's annoying, but unless anyone can convince TMDB to reverse their decision or get trakt.tv to collect their data from IMDb or elsewhere, it is what it is.
