Bucky (Winter Soldier) and Sam (Falcon) are making their way in the new world (post-Endgame)- one where Steve Rogers (the former Captain America) has aged and retired, Sam is helping his sister in Louisiana to make ends meet, and Bucky is in therapy for his years as the Winter Soldier. Sam is offered the shield but declines, so the government anoints John Walker as the new Cap. Meanwhile, Sam and Bucky must work together again to take on a new menace- the Flag Smashers, an extremist group that apparently has super soldiers, created by the same serum that made Steve and Bucky. As the heroes track down remaining vials and consider how to deal with the threat, the new Cap becomes unhinged and presents another problem. Will the heroes prevail? And how can Bucky atone for his past?
The fact that I started this eight months ago, and only just finished, gives some idea that I wasn't enthralled. I felt the first three episodes (there are six) were uneven and boring in places. The last three were much better. It's a decent story, but could have been told better. Still, there were some good themes here.
