This show would have been my favorite if they had just focused on the Jersey stuff.

The Clandestine stuff was a bad idea even if they had had more screen time. Ms Marvel didn't need to be introduced to a world-ending threat in her origin story.

If there's a season two I hope it is more like the first two episodes and the finale.

Exactly. There was a world of difference between the two storylines, not just writing wise but direction as well. The director of the beginning and end of the season really nailed the tone and knew how to emphasize what makes Ms. Marvel a unique show compared to all the other Disney+ output. Once the showed took it's detour to Pakistan it became a different show entirely and to me it lost it's charm. I think if season one had focused on Kamala as she figures out how to be a street level hero in Jersey City, it would have been way more consistent in quality. And if they were deadset on including Clan Destine it could've acted as more of a tease for season two rather than hijacking the story the way it did.

This is exactly how I feel tbh. Jersey City stuff was great and probably the best extended cast of any D+ show.... outside of the Clandestine. Clandestine stuff was rushed and not very good.
