First off, I love the animation style in this series. It a 2-dimensional art brought to a 3-dimension perspective using light placement and movement. Absolutely stunning to watch. From what I researched, the art style is very distinct and pays homage to classic German-American artist J.C. Leyendecker.

Aside from the animation, the story is also super fascinating. Following narration of the ominous Watcher, we get to explore various alternative storylines if different choices were made and what their outcome would have been. While Captain America is one of my favourite MCU heroes, Captain Carter kicks ass and is definitely something I would love to see more of. I understand they had to pack the contents of basically the entirety of Captain America: The First Avenger into a 30 minute time frame, so the story did feel really rushed. But there were moments where the plot slowed down to build on Captain Carters transformation and her relationship with Steve.
