The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a 6-episode Marvel Cinematic Universe drama. Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie) teams up with Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) as they chase after a group of super soldier terrorists, the Flag Smashers. In the first episode Falcon decline to become the new Captain America so the US government gives it John Walker (Wyatt Russell), not super-powered but a soldier with three Medals of Honor.

The new Captain America and his partner Lemar Hoskins aka Battlestar (Clé Bennett) are also chasing after the Flag Smashers but kind of working at cross-purposes with Falcon and Winter Soldier. And actually Captain America has the coolest arc as he becomes overwhelmed with the job and is pushed past his breaking point to eventually become a different super hero.

Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) returns and is forced to help team Falcon. Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) also returns and has a nice secret reveal later on in the series. The fight scenes are pretty good and special effects are also pretty good. I believe this is one-off series so the story is well contained and the loose ends are intended for the next Captain America movie.

Overall a good series.
