I guess I should have expected it... but still with a title like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, I was expecting both Bucky and Sam to get equal treatment and equal spotlight. It seemed to start off that way but as each episode dropped it became more and more obvious that they were focusing on Sam. And as I watch the final episode, it's clear that Bucky is now once again relegated to just a sidekick to Captain America.
Nothing against Sam, I'm glad he got his spotlight, but as a Winter Soldier fan I was initially excited for this show because I thought Bucky would finally get to really shine. Instead he's nerfed and used more as a stepping stone to highlight both Sam and Walker.

Yeah Falcon is way more in the spotlight, but he has to be. I'm going to take crap for this, but Disney is really pushing an agenda hard here. It was clear when they first met Isaiah Bradley that Bucky wasn't going to be the most important character in the show. As for everything else I wasn't shocked by the identity of the Power Broker. I wonder if Sharon will end up being the Skrull Queen and if Madame Hydra is going to be this universes Norman Osborne and form the Thunderbolts with Walker leading them. |

It was a pretty bad show.

So this is already over? I haven’t heard anything about it since the premier. With WV friends and coworkers were talking about it every week.

I don't mind them mixing in a political agenda as long as it's handled with a deft touch and woven smoothly into the storyline. And I thought they actually managed to do this successfully for the first few episodes. But they started getting heavier handed with it with each succeeding episode till it felt like they were hammering you with it every 5 minutes by the time the last episode came in. And I feel like they started sacrificing good story and plot towards the end for the sake of that political preaching which ultimately hurt the show. |

I liked seeing Sam as Cap until I saw him pontificating a radical ideology.

I agree somewhat but it's not like we didn't know. Cap handed Sam the shield. Bucky has issues and was winter soldier. Imagine the media. Finally, Falcon's name comes first in the title
