How Secret Invasion's Premiere Ratings Compare To Other MCU Streaming Series
The table above shows that Marvel's What If...? and Secret Invasion have little separation. However, after reaching 1 million viewers, the gap widens. Both She-Hulk and Hawkeye garnered 1.5 million household viewership within the first five days of their premiere. Loki maintains the top spot with 2.5 million viewers. Surprisingly, Oscar Isaac's debut as Marc Spector/Steven Grant in Moon Knight comes closest with 1.8 million households, followed by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier at 1.8 million. WandaVision had 1.6 million households tuning in during its debut week.
Reviews for the first two episodes of Secret Invasion have been mixed, with criticism aimed at its slow pace. This is especially problematic as the show consists of only six episodes. As a result, there is a risk of rushing the storytelling to wrap up all the lingering plotlines. On the other hand, Secret Invasion is considered a refreshing change of pace with its grounded tone, a departure from Marvel Studios' focus on the multiverse and cosmic exploration.
There are still 5 episodes remaining in Secret Invasion, giving viewers ample opportunity to watch the show. Despite that, the series premiere primarily aimed to establish the foundation for Nick Fury and Talos the Skrull's storyline. The surprising demise of Maria Hill undoubtedly raises the stakes in the overall narrative and could possibly be the key factor in generating greater public interest in Secret Invasion.
