How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Marvel Studios' 2022 Disney+ limited series anchored by Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector / Steven Grant, an Egyptian-mythology-aligned hero with dissociative identity disorder. The structural commitment to letting DID be the actual subject, and to consult mental-health professionals on representation, is rare MCU work where the disability is treated as character architecture rather than as plot mechanic.

May Calamawy's Layla El-Faouly anchors supporting work.
