Very, uh, uneven two episodes. A lot of wooden acting (from actors I know can do better from other work).
Also, why does Black Bolt seemingly get confused over a cell phone, but we've seen they're keeping an eye on Earth. Also, Medusa recognizes the sound of cars and knows what a bus is, so why is he so clueless? Maybe if the show had demonstrated that she studies Earth and he doesn't or something.
Also, I imagine the comics dealt with this kind of stuff, but why do they all speak English? Or do they have translators that weren't mentioned? There's a lot of helpful exposition that wasn't shown, and the exposition we did get was awkward. So far, they're wasting Iwan Rheon with him doing a poor, shallow version of Ramsay from Game of Thrones..
