AlexGherzo | Dec 22, 2021 | 0

Hawkeye’s finale, “So This is Christmas?” is a fitting end for the miniseries in that it has a few good moments, and a better story is aching to break through, but it’s caught in a mire of boring plotlines, weightless action, unsatisfying character arcs, and some of the laziest fight scenes ...
