I settled in to watch the latest episodes of The Moon Knight series on my favourite personal computer and for me, it's the best way to fully immerse myself in the show and appreciate all its nuances. I like to be actively engaged in each and every moment of the series, which is why I prefer the big screen of my PC over smaller devices like laptops or mobile phones because there's something about the big screen and the comfort of my desk that allows me to truly enjoy the movies. The increment details of the action and the performances are so much more vivid when seen on a larger screen. It's a real treat to be able to watch the show in this way and I relish the opportunity every time I sit down to watch.

From beginning to end, this show is a thrilling ride. Marvel Studios has done it again, providing us with a show that is jam-packed with gritty action, in-depth character exploration, and some outstanding performances.

The plot is fairly simple there is a man who works at a museum in a gift shop; he is a simple man with no friends or relatives; he is living a common man's life; he has some issues, but we don't know about them until the first episode, when he finds himself in the middle of nowhere fighting some people; and from there, the story begins to get exciting, and you realize that there is someone else inside his body when he farts so many people in.

The plot revolves around Marc Spector, a former mercenary who is resurrected by the Egyptian god Khonshu to fight crime as the vigilante known as Moon Knight. But this isn't your average superhero tale. Spector suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and each of his alter egos has its own voice and personality. This makes for some really good television.

The show is not afraid to explore darker topics such as mental illness, violence, and trauma. However, it lacks shock value. These themes are handled with care and respect by the showrunners, and it shows in the writing and the performances. Oscar Isaac, delivers an outstanding performance as Spector/Moon Knight because he gives the character a level of depth and nuance that is rarely seen in other superhero shows.

The show's action is also very excellent that the fight scenes are brutal and visceral, and the show makes extensive use of its R-rating to deliver bone-crunching violence that feels realistic. The showrunners clearly drew inspiration from classic action films such as John Wick, as evidenced by the tightly choreographed fight scenes.

What truly distinguishes The Moon Knight series is its examination of character relationships. The show spends time developing Spector's relationships with his loved ones, especially with his confidante and pilot, Frenchie. These friendships add much-needed levity to an otherwise dark and intense show like this.

Overall, The Moon Knight series is a must-see for any superhero fan and It's a mature and thought-provoking Marvel Cinematic Universe entry that isn't afraid to take risks and explore deeper themes. This is the show to watch if you want to be kept on the edge of your seat and thinking long after the credits have rolled.
