REVIEW: Secret Invasion – Season 1, Episode 3, “Betrayed”
“Betrayed” is the episode that comes in seemingly every Disney+ Marvel show: the turn. It’s where something that was either enjoyable or looked like it might be great reveals itself for the undercooked, politically skewed, poorly plotted, character-destroying pablum it really is. And, as alway...
