REVIEW: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Episode 1 “New World Order”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the second Marvel show to step up to Disney+’s plate, and whether it’s got a tough act to follow is sort of up in the air. Some (myself included) liked WandaVision quite a bit, but for others, the finale – which, admittedly, dropped the ball on some things ...
