'Moon Knight' Is (Almost) Better Than Every Other Marvel TV Series, Viewership Data Suggests
'Moon Knight' is the most important Marvel hit of the last couple of years, especially on TV – it's important to remember that Isaac's series is the very first one to introduce and center around a new MCU character. So, the overwhelming support from fans and critics alike proves that the risk has certainly paid off.
According to data shared by SambaTV, 'Moon Knight 's first episode scored an impressive 1.8 million viewers, sharing the 2nd highest debut of the MCU show with 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'. Disney+ latest easily beat rating records of 'WandaVision' and 'Hawkeye ' (1.6M and 1.5M viewers), which were based on previously introduced and already widely popular characters. Such an astounding success proves that a darker approach to superhero genre is in demand with many Marvel fans.
Of course, Isaac and company have a long way to match through the roof ratings of 'Loki ', but Hiddleston's Asgardian villain already stood the test of time as one of the most beloved characters in the MCU roster. As for the Moon Knight, he will certainly have a bright future in Marvel Universe, now that Disney execs know how much he resonates with his audience.
