Well, here we are again – diving into yet another MCU Disney+ series; this time, dealing with the oft forgotten original Avenger, Hawkeye.

In a global crisis called “The Emergency,” who are you going to call? No, not the Ghostbusters, but instead a group of misfit orphans who form a team that may just be intuitive enough to stop a worldwide panic.
