On the first 2 episodes there's noticeable ADR (counted at least 4), visible editing cuts and patchwork on scene transitions and action (Hailee grunts way too much). Setting my expectations..
As it develops.. it is a bit slow paced and with bits that feel like filler. The dialogue is lacking and the action scenes are predictable at times, but generally good! Though nothing worth re-watching. Convenient situations and a weird tone are very apparent. The character of Kate is a tad annoying and childish.. I expected someone more serious and mature for the role, considering her shown situation.
On the other hand, has great production values (although it still "feels" TV), and a few moments here and there. Interesting characters being used for "villains" (Jack Duquesne being a standout) and ideas that tingle the mind but aren't cooked as they should.
Being set on Xmas is a plus for me, and the character of Hawkeye being visibly tired (and going deaf?), shows interesting and real time lapse for the franchise. Though Jeremy barely delivers.
Sadly, the first 2 episodes lowered my expectations by quite a margin. As it went on, it had good peaks, but the end.. deflating. It's not the super-hero-world Home-Alone content I thought it would be. The conclusion doesn't feel grand enough or interesting to make a show out of it. Specially disappointed about a couple of hyped reveals (a villain better left untouched, and a suit).
It was decent in the middle.. and I already forgot all about it.
