What’s it about –

As the name suggests, the show follows the adventurous exploits of the eponymous characters following the events of Avengers: Endgame, with Steve Rogers bequeathing his shield and the mantle of Captain America to Sam Wilson. Falcon and the Winter Soldier, played by Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan respectively, continue the cause of Captain America by going around the world fighting an anti-patriotism group known as the Flag-Smashers.
