Super late to the game, but I just binged this series this weekend. OMG I love it! Maybe I feel differently because I binged it, but I loved episode 5. I appreciate seeing what happened to cause all the mental illness. It made me cry so hard!
I realize that I may also have a different perspective because I have a roommate with DID, and have had another friend with it in the past. The depiction here wasn't completely accurate, my roommate doesn't have an ancient god giving her commands and all, but it seemed much more accurate and less offensive than a lot of Hollywood depictions (though this is the opinion of someone from the outside, not someone with the disorder).
I had never heard of Moon Knight before, and I just ordered a collection of the 2016 comics. I know it will be different. My favorite character int he show is Steven Grant, and he's like a 180 from the comic book version, apparently, but it got me interested. And if the comics end up not being that great, oh well. Just means that it's even more amazing what they managed to do with the show.

Agreed. Oscar Isaac wasn't really on my radar before Moon Knight, but OMG, this has to be some of the best acting I've ever seen! That scene in the last episode where Marc and Steven switch off seamlessly, but you can always tell who it is is just amazing! I'm gonna have to rewatch all the Star Wars movies he's in, and pay extra attention to him.If I hear or see one post mention Oscar Issac so often my heart will leap out of my chest because every time I watch Moon Knight my heart flows with happiness and I blush every time I see Moon Knight. I saw today's episode this morning and thought it was weak at the beginning but the excitement didn't actually start until the end. But I do agree with you Oscar Issac is amazing and I think he is the main reason why Moon Knight is a hit for Disney+. In fact my mom saw an interview with Oscar Issac yesterday and he was great and I hope the season finale next week is great
