Every Marvel TV Show in the Disney+ Era Ranked

13 Images

12. Secret Invasion
Disney+
The arrival of Secret Invasion was met with great anticipation, given its significance in Marvel Comics lore. Unfortunately, it fell flat. Director Ali Selim admitted he hadn’t read the comics, and the show seemed indifferent to its source material. Attempting to mimic the espionage vibe of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the series centered on Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) battling a Skrull invasion. Issues abounded: slow pacing, an AI-generated intro, the unnecessary death of a beloved female character, and the introduction of a forgettable superpowered character. These missteps relegated it to the bottom of the Disney+ heap.

11. Echo
Disney+
Though Echo ranks lower than Secret Invasion, it fared significantly better with viewers. Alaqua Cox reprised her role as the deaf superhero Echo from Hawkeye. Set on a reservation, the series explores Echo's journey to reconcile her powers, past, and relationship with Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio). While some fans felt shortchanged by the shortened episode count, the show delivered thrilling action sequences, including a memorable showdown with Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox). Its groundbreaking representation of Indigenous talent makes it stand out, even if it didn’t resonate as strongly as other titles.

10. Moon Knight
Disney+
Oscar Isaac starred in this surreal tale about Marc Spector's fractured psyche. The series blended elements of psychological thrillers and action, introducing a new fan favorite in Scarlet Scarab (May Calamawy). Despite strong performances from F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu and Ethan Hawke as Dr. Arthur Harrow, Moon Knight failed to captivate audiences enough for a second season. Its complex narrative and experimental style kept it intriguing, but it ultimately couldn’t break into the upper echelons of the rankings.

9. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Disney+
Following the success of the films, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier aimed high but landed softly. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprised their roles, earning praise for their chemistry, yet the series struggled under the weight of its themes and plotlines. Heavy reliance on the Blip timeline and a focus on espionage rather than action held it back. The production faced delays due to the pandemic, altering its trajectory. Nevertheless, elements like the introduction of the Thunderbolts remain crucial to the MCU’s ongoing saga.
