Agonizingly slow and extremely boring

4 episodes in and not much of anything has happened. Not sure why the writer(s) think this is something people want to grind through. A decent writer could've done all this in 1 episode and gotten on with the show being Cloak and Dagger instead of Cloak or Dagger.

Too much useless background thats been dragged on with a similar comparison to watching one's nails grow. Episode 4 ended with something of interest, but not sure if I wanna watch it to see the outcome.

Now we're 6 episodes in and still nothing. This couldve easily been called Cloak and Dagger P.I. or Cloak and Dagger;emotional baggage.
This has nothing to do with comics. ITs horrible. Im kinda still hoping its just a slow start but honestly, how slow can you go FFS because its becoming unwatchable.

It should be called Cloak OR Dagger since they can't seem to utilize their powers together. I only watch it cause my 10yr old niece enjoys me watching it with her. If not for her, I'd never sit through this painful show. I know I could've done this show better than the powers that be.

Interesting your niece likes, Id think it would be kinda boring for her because of the slow boil story progression and kids usually like a bit more activity. Well good for her, im glad someone does ;).
But yeah...I hope they start soon with the powers more. Though it looks like the whole season will be sort of an intro. And in any case, you look at other Marvel shows, 9/10 all have the same problem. They do however eventually begin with action though that doesnt always correlate with quality unfortunately.
