Whilst episode three marks the halfway point of the latest MCU show Secret Invasion, it certainly doesn’t feel that way as the story is yet to pick up any real speed. Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) is continuing with his plans to conquer Earth, G’iah (Emilia Clarke) is still operating undercover feeding information to her father Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), whilst Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), well, he never changes.
The lack of action here doesn’t make this instalment particularly exciting and it definitely could have done with more of Olivia Colman’s hugely entertaining and wildly unpredictable MI6 agent Sonya to liven it up at points – seriously though, only giving her one scene during this episode is a crime. However, for the most part, Secret Invasion isn’t an all guns blazing kind of show, with episode three nodding to its Cold War thriller roots.
