A good premise that was clearly hijacked before it had even begun, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier set out to make a point, not entertain the people paying a subscription for Disney+. The mediocre action sequences spattered throughout the series seem nothing more than a flimsy effort to keep the viewers tuning in every week so the writers can ram more simplistic preaching down their throat.
Two solid characters and two decent actors totally wasted (along with several collective hours of viewing waiting for something half decent to happen).
Any good series leaves the viewer wanting more. The Falcon perhaps should visit his friends in the richest country on Marvel's fictitious Earth, Wakanda and point out the famine and depravity that they are allowing to happen on their doorstep every day, rather than bleating the America hates black people message we've had rammed down our throats for the last year and are seeking escapism from.
My suggestion is series 2 just be called 'The Falcon and Oprah' and be one long subjective and whiney interview where a repressed billionaire talks to the falcon about their respective mutual struggles in becoming the richest media personality in the world and a member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
