Samuel Jackson’s Nick Fury is back, and this time, he is set on saving the world from an infestation of Skrulls. Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, the series follows shape-shifting extraterrestrials that have landed on Earth, expecting Fury to make good on the promise he made in Captain Marvel back in 2019 to find them a forever home. To his surprise, however, they’ve selected our very own blue planet as their permanent place of residence — and have formulated a plan to infiltrate top political posts around the globe.

While critics of the genre may accuse it of leaning into the same old tropes, some reviewers are hailing the show as being dotted with “some glorious scenes” between Jackson and talented castmates such as the marvelous Olivia Colman. Our take? It wouldn’t really be Marvel without the explosions, car chases, and mass panic, and while “ the writing doesn’t give us enough ” in certain instances, the action and acting are certainly satisfying.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can catch the series on Disney+.
