Hawkeye
This looks like fun! I wasn't quite sure where they were going with a Hawkeye show when I first heard they were making one. The trailer definitely provides some hints. I think it will be a fun watch.

I am keeping up so far, anyone else?
Not ASTOUNDING but I like it.
Not sure if it's just a cameo or more than that yet, but the addition of isn't necessarily a shock but is neat.

I've been meaning to watch because it really does look cute and I don't want spoilers (so I didn't click Top's spoiler bar - thanks for using the spoiler tags!) but I've been busy and just haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully soon! Now I'm intrigued and want to know what the spoiler tag is hiding.

First, I must say, this has got to be one of my favorite Marvel trailers; I really like it! Excellent music choice. Interested in seeing more of Barton’s story after Endgame. The show looks interesting overall, and I look forward to watching it. I’ll probably wait until all of the episodes are released so that I can watch several at once.
I just watched the show over the last couple of days (three episodes one day, three the next day) and really enjoyed it. It lived up to the advertising in the fun department, and also had a lot more plot and stuff than I had anticipated. I accidentally saw the spoiler that Top so kindly hid (not from Top - elsewhere online) but once I saw it I almost thought I should have guessed it, though I did not. I would definitely recommend the show! I thought it was a good mix of new stuff and old stuff.
I don't think this needs spoiler tags - the Rogers: the Musical segment was awesome and the full version of the "I Can Do This All Day" song at the end of the last episode was amazing. I will definitely be rewatching that part just for fun. I love musicals and as terrible as it would be for realsies, in the show it was awesome. The Christmas music throughout the show was also great. They really leaned into the Christmas theme, in a good way.
I really liked Hawkeye and I would definitely watch a second season!

My wife and I really enjoyed it, her favorite Marvel show so far.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post:
finally got around to watching this! i really enjoyed it. for as weird of a dude as jeremy renner is, he's got charisma and makes hawkeye a super likeable character. hailee steinfeld is a great addition to the mcu. she brings a lot of the same youthful energy that tom holland brings to spider-man.
he/him | a little stinker.
I like archery, and Hawkeye has always been a fun character for me in this Marvel cinematic universe. I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature they have about an archer being in the same group as the innately powerful characters like Thor. (Of course I would not use the term god to describe such characters.) I was so excited to finally get around to watching Hawkeye!
I enjoyed that we get the O.G. (MCU) Hawkeye, but we also get a new character who might get to carry on the franchise, "because $$$$." I liked the buddy nature of the show! I realize they're not cops, but I always appreciate two good friends who help each other out and have each other's backs. We got to see that Hawkeye and Black Widow were close, and now perhaps we have Lady Hawk (lol) to be Hawkeye's new gal pal.
The plot-specific points I have:
A real group of thugs would have just shot a deaf character years ago and moved on. I realize they have to pander to a diverse audience these days, but if these are crooks like we are led to believe, they wouldn't waste their time taking orders from a crippled person, to use rough terminology. Also, if "none of these idiots have learned ASL in the past 24 hours," then why on earth is this deaf person "in charge"? Does the one person who knows ASL make up whatever he wants, and the deaf lady can't do a thing about it? The backstory to the bad guys makes no sense whatsoever.
Vincent D'onofrio! I saw him as the Kingpin in Daredevil close to a decade ago! What a great throwback.
And Jack! What a great red herring. I guess he's wealthy and does sketchy things (attend some black market auction) when he's spending money, but apparently we haven't seen him do sketchy things to get his money. "Is that a leisure activity?" He's all in, if it's for fun! That was amusing.
And drat it, of course it's more Stark stuff. Tony Stark is how the MCU was built. Tony was the motivation behind all the [Tom Holland] Spiderman movies and villains, and here he is driving the plot and character abilities in this show.
Did the larper friends of Hawkeye really stop in the middle of a panicked evacuation of a building to put on costumes? And they're police/EMT/firefighters?! That sounds irresponsible for their training and experience. Also, does every crook in this show just discharge firearms from the street in one of the largest cities in North America?! The big fight scenes in the last episode show so much happening outside, and there are no uniformed police officers visible at all! The only on-screen police officer we see is actually a plain-clothes detective coming to arrest a woman for something done in the past, and he's avoiding/doing nothing about the gunshots, wanton destruction, and pandemonium one block up.
