I’ve just seen the first episode, but I loved it. I was also a big fan of the Faction run in the comics, and I liked the nods to various plot points.

I did enjoy that! Although I feel very bad for Clint's family, who have probably gotten tired of him not showing up for family events as a result of his SHIELD work over the years.
Hailee Steinfeld is always a joy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think they did a really good job of striking the balance between stupid and dangerous with the Tracksuit Draculas.

Joss was going through his divorce when he was making Ultron, so of course he portrayed Clint in an ideal marriage, with his family all perfectly happy with his COOL JOB and all his COOL WORK FRIENDS and his WORK WIFE, even though his job requires him to be away from them for an extended period of time.

Thrive to spite them
I read someone on Tumblr talking about how, based in the trailers, it looked like they flipped human disaster Hawkeye to be Kate instead of Clint. Since they are stuck with this version of Clint.
I only watched about the first part of the first episode. Some of the lights were giving me a headache. But im going to try try finish it tomorrow after work maybe. If not my next day off.

I wouldn't say Kate is a human disaster. She's just young and impulsive and trying to figure out this whole hero thing. But Clint is very much in reluctant mentor mode.
ETA: I think Hailee Steinfeld is doing a great job of portraying Kate kind of realizing she's in over her head while still wanting to prove to Clint (and herself) that she can do this.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I really enjoyed the first episode and didn't the second. In fact, I muted it for big portions. But I'm hopeful! I'm torn between feeling like the energy comes way down in every scene with Clint and appreciating that he has ongoing problems due to some serious trauma. I do wish I had a better idea of how long after Endgame this happened. I suppose I could look it up, btu I mean I wish the show gave an idea.
Edited because oh yeah spoiler font and italics are different things!

I read an article the other day that says Hawkeye is set 2 years after Endgame: [link]
