Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld hit bullseye in the series premiere of 'Hawkeye.' Read Alan Sepinwall's recap.
. But enough of the ramshackle spirit of that comic is present in these episodes to make it an appealingly shaggy start to this holiday adventure. Even if it’s one that for the moment feels much more like a Kate Bishop story than a Clint Barton one.
Once Kate’s back in New York for holiday break, we see that she remains distant from her mother Eleanor and really doesn’t trust Eleanor’s fiancé Jack Duquesne . Eleanor insists Kate join them for a charity gala. Kate shows up, but in a slightly rebellious move is wearing a tuxedo rather than the red dress Eleanor wanted her to wear.
Jeremy Renner is an actor who tends to be most interesting when he’s mixing some humor in with his innately brooding nature. He’s more the straight man to Steinfeld in this one so far, but responding to her gangly energy in ways that are dryly amusing in their own right. And the second episode sends him off for a solo mission to reclaim the Ronin suit, which requires him to enter the world of LARPing and publicly lose a fight to the fireman wearing the costume.
