Marvel's Cloak & Dagger Premiere Review: 8 Ups And 2 Downs
1. The Story Is Complex And Enthralling
Cloak & Dagger's narrative has a lot of players and moving parts, but it already appears that those behind the scenes are handling it all wonderfully.
On the whole, everything flows in a way that feels fluid and natural, there's lots of drama at play and mysteries to be solved, the chemistry between the characters works very well, and, as stated before, Tyrone and Tandy themselves are incredibly complex co-protagonists who hold everything together.
Whether it's the story of Tyrone trying to solve his brother's murder (which was covered up by police), Tandy's conflict with her mother (who is arguably even further down the self-destruction rabbit hole than Tandy herself), the detective trailing Tandy, or Tyrone and Tandy learning how to control and use their abilities through dangerous trial and error, there is plenty here to keep viewers invested and it's all connected harmoniously.
If Marvel Television has proven anything over the past half-decade, it's that they know how to tell a good story. And while we're only two episodes in, it seems as though Cloak & Dagger is shaping up to be one of their best tales to date.
