Moon Knight often felt very similar to Batman in the comics, as a billionaire playboy who dresses up in a spooky costume armed with handy gadgets.

The episode centres most of its narrative on the protagonist’s dissociative identity disorder (DID), experienced by Steven Grant played by Oscar Isaac.

Moon Knight frequently blends drama, action, thriller, psychology and horror like many of its previous marvel movies.

It's evident that 'Moon Knight' intends to take a lot of risks, and most of them pay off in the first episode itself.

With its unpredictable narrative and stellar performances, 'Moon Knight' could easily become a fan favourite for many.
