'Hawkeye' is set during Christmas, but it was the perfect Halloween treat as the Marvel series starring Jeremy Renner (reprising his role as Clint Barton/Ronin/Hawkeye) is back with a protege of sorts in Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop. The series begins on a rather slow world-building note with Bishop who has quite the adventure of her own and donning the identity of Ronin briefly before her encounter with a now-retired Barton. 

Episodes 1 and 2 dealt with the duo taking on the tracksuit mafia who lend more laughs than threats and that though doesn't really end well for the Avengers and his ward as the latter, in an attempt to save him ends up putting the duo in more danger instead. The abrupt end to the second episode was one of the topics of discussion on Twitter as fans shared their two cents on the premiere. Marvel ardents were hooked. "@hawkeyeofficial All I Gotta say I enjoyed it The first two episodes don’t listen to the critics just watch it I liked it it’s not bad as they’re saying it is can’t wait for the next one #Hawkeye," a tweet read.

"Was it just me or did Hawkeye second episode end at a strange time????? #hawkeye," another asked. "Another thoroughly enjoyable episode - a bit slower but love what is set up here. This is going to be a great series. #Hawkeye ," read one of the tweets.

"Watched the first 2, this show is already great. I adore Kate , tracksuit mafia are funny as fuck and the ties back to avengers 1 where awesome to see #Hawkeye," a comment read.
