⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5) Moon Knight – A Split Mind Beneath the Moonlight
Moon Knight is what happens when Marvel lets chaos take the wheel — and the wheel promptly starts arguing with itself. This is a schizoid dream wrapped in myth, a hero story told through cracked mirrors. Oscar Isaac gives a masterclass in duality (and triplicity), playing a man who slips nightly into another life — or perhaps another being entirely. One moment he’s an anxious museum gift-shop clerk, the next he’s an avatar of an Egyptian god doling out brutal justice in a suit made of moonlight.
Set against the backdrop of modern America (with a heart that still beats in Cairo), this is Indiana Jones meets Fight Club by way of the afterlife. The show’s beauty lies not in its special effects, though they’re impressive, but in its willingness to make confusion part of the experience. You’re not always meant to know what’s real — only that something ancient and angry has woken up inside a very tired man.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where gods and heroes usually fly straight and true, Moon Knight is the one who staggers, bleeds, and keeps going anyway. Here’s hoping for another season — if only so we can find out which version of him remembers to show up.
Pairing: A dark Turkish coffee with a dash of cardamom — strong, strange, and slightly bitter, perfect for staying awake when the other you takes over.
