ComicBook.com’s Charlie Ridgely gave the show’s first episode a 4 out of 5 and called it “a complex and promising new direction” for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You can check out some of the positive reviews from critics below:

“It is less of a treasure hunt than WandaVision, but could deliver some game-changing moments for the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” The New Paper (Singapore)‘s Jonathan Roberts wrote.

“Everything about the show, including — most critically — its heart and humor, will feel comfortably familiar to anyone who’s laughed, cried, or cheered during a Marvel film,” Common Sense Media‘s Matt Cabral added.

“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier feels more MCU than any of the previous television or streaming shows, despite Spellman and Skogland’s limited film experience,” Pop Culture Leftovers‘ Brooke Daugherty wrote.

Malcolm Spellman, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s head writer, recently talked about the moment he knew Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) were the future of the MCU.

“There was about a 12-second moment in Civil War where it feels like every single Marvel fan knew that these two guys were gonna be able to support a movie or a franchise. In doing the interviews, you can’t really take credit for the tone because in that 12 seconds, everybody knew what it was gonna be…the buddy two-hands genre, what we loved about them is the range, tonally, is you can go from as gritty as 48 Hours to as funny as Rush Hour...it allows Sebastian and Anthony to do what they do and create that magic.”
