Following Marc Spector- a former mercenary who suffers from dissociative identity disorder- and his journey to becoming the vigilante known as Moon Knight, the series is as ambitious and creative as it is enigmatic.
With Oscar Isaac portraying the eponymous character, fans have high expectations for what Marvel is prepared to do with its latest series and it appears as though they have hit the mark, as early reactions or Moon Knight have promised one of Marvel’s best projects yet.

One Twitter user, @StreamrMo- the owner of Streamr News, went as far as to say that the long-awaited MCU series was, “the best Marvel Studios project I’ve EVER seen.”
This is not out of the ordinary praise for the series as Collider journalist Sab Astley echoed the praises of the series, stating it is a, “brilliantly bonkers dark glob-trotting adventure,” noting that the addition of Oscar Isaac is, “the best addition to the MCU Since RDJ.”
#MoonKnight is a brilliantly bonkers dark globe-trotting adventure; this is Marvel's trippy National Treasure. Oscar Isaac is the best addition to the MCU since RDJ, entwining torment and humour into a morally ambiguous cypher – Marc Spector is a whole new calibre of hero. pic.twitter.com/nlL9QgtbyA

Although these sentiments clearly place it into a class of its own, Tom Power stated that it is, “unlike anything you’ve seen from Marvel before,” and, “the best MCU TV show ever.”
Much of this is high praise but speaks to the fact that the series, at the very least, stands alone among the massive and vast pantheon of Marvel Cinematic Universe titles.
Full thoughts to come in my #MoonKnight review (when? very soon 👀) but I will say this: It's unlike anything you've seen from Marvel before. I'd go as far as to say – and I don't say this lightly – it's the best MCU TV show ever

A similar reaction was posted by Thomas Storai who noted the series’ first four episodes is, “unlike anything we’ve seen before from the MCU. It’s a psychological thriller with a touch of Indiana Jones”
Time will only tell what we can expect out of the series, although if these reviews are telling of what awaited, Moon Knight is primed to be a fantastic addition to the Marvel Universe for the foreseeable future.
I’ve watched the first 4 episodes of #MoonKnight, it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before from the MCU. It’s a psychological thriller with a touch of Indiana Jones, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. And Oscar Isaac delivers a mesmerizing performance. pic.twitter.com/OWYaWeye41
