It's probably somewhere around 2023/2024. With the 5 year time jump in Endgame, we are close to being caught up.
I watched Loki and the latest Ant-Man and GoG3 and I think the Shield TV show up to the end but I haven't had time or desire to watch the Bucky and Birdguy series or whatever else there is. If the Avengers are out of the game, is it covered in some show? Or did that happen after Endgame and just didn't get much coverage? Ant-Man seemed to imply they are still around but covering other stuff or whatever. They really need to get their writers to think about how to have a movie with some impact without immediately going to 'end of the world/universe but the Avengers are too busy' stakes.
Will probably watch
But yeah it would be nice if they could keep it simple for once
As if a MCU story can be pinned down with a simple "when" in the multiverse"set in the present-day MCU"
Which is what now?
No seriously... what is now, now? I can't keep track anymore.

The Avengers "disassembled" because the massive threat to the universe-Thanos-is gone. Now the members have gone on their own adventures, ready to reassemble whenever another unique threat (Kang the Conqueror) appears.
If I remember correctly:
Thor left Earth to fight Gorr the God Killer. That was a threat to brings deemed gods, but not to the universe as a whole.
Guardians of the Galaxy are running Knowhere, and in the recent movie they split up as well.
Captain Steve Rogers retired, and the former Falcon is the new Captain America.
Hawkeye is semi-retired, and Kate Bishop is taking his place. She hasn't met the other Avengers yet.
I like to think one of the Ants in the quantum realm did this, but we just didn’t understand him.

That was really fun! I love how they’re mixing up genres with these Marvel TV shows, going from She-Hulk’s legal sitcom to this’ old fashioned spy thriller with body snatchers. Plus I could watch Samuel Jackson threaten to shoot people all day long, even if his character has lost a step or two.
Im not sure about how it being recieved...

but i loved the intro, i thought it looked AI generated and its definitely in line with the feel of the show.

Finding out the Fury is married, or at least seems to be, it reminded me of something from CA:WS that has always kind of bugged me when I watch it. When Pierce is questioning Rogers about why Fury was there why doesn't he just say what Fury told him about his wife kicking him out. It's actually more accurate than Rogers saying he didn't know why Fury was in his apartment. Sure it's still not the whole truth but it is, based on the audio recordings, why Fury was there.
So was G'iah in on the fake-out about the real location of the bombs or did she think the bags had the bombs and was legitimately helping Fury and Talos? Since the bags were just filled with clothes it would seem to be obvious that she'd know the bags were empty so would be helping to set the trap. But she certainly doesn't seem to be all bought in on Gravik's plans due to her other actions we've been shown and also feels like Gravik doesn't fully trust her so could have kept her in the dark about the real plan for that day.

Wasn't sure about this going in. With shapeshifters it's a gimmick. You can always make anyone a shapeshifter.
So far, I am liking it. It's got international spy thriller all over it. Anyone can be a spy, so I guess the shapeshifting concern is somewhat mitigated.

Yeah, that was really well delivered. It's kind of a shame this is the first time they've really given him that much space to show what he can do. When you have an actor of Cheadle's caliber, let the man do his thing.
I'm liking the show so far, but MCU spy show was kind of primed to be up my alley at this point.
While no one is watching this show, I still think it is good quality.
Not sure how this is passing folks by, it's a really good show and is really digging deep into the character of Nick Fury while also setting up the Secret Wars movies. This last episode really got into the Skrull invasion stuff, Gravik even revealed the existence of Super Skrulls, right out of the comics. Will be interesting to see where the comic book story and this one split off.
I generally feel that MCU fatigue is hitting hard right now. Even I am feeling the fatigue. I completely forgot there was a new episode until last night.
It is really good. My only criticism is that it's really grim, but given the genre I can let that slide.
I didn't catch that on the first watch, didn't really make out the voice until the second time i watched.
Talos dying while saving the President, all at the same time, was predictable, felt like the kind of hero's sacrifice Maria Hill should have had, and foreshadows the acceptance of Skrulls that he himself talked about at the beginning of the episode.
Yeah, Talos dying was telegraphed in the trailers even. I also agree that his sacrifice will end up helping to implement his plan for how humans and Skrulls can co exist.
The Armor Wars movie is gonna be wild dealing with the fallout of Skrhodey. Wouldn’t surprise me if Gravik’s plan B long game ends up being Skrhodey leaking the Iron Man tech into the world at large.
This show is absolutely nailing the 1 on 1 character dialogue.
I have to say, Gravik's been a great big bad for the series; smart, ruthless, executing a well thought-out plan. His eventual defeat in the finale will feel well earned.
But holy shit do I haaaaaateeeeee Skrhodey. I don't know how much of it is the writing/story versus Cheadle but Skrhodey is really the first MCU villain IME who I've so desperately wanted to see someone stomp a mudhole in his chest before separating his head from his shoulders (And boy howdy do I hope it's Rhodey who gets to do it.) I mean, John Walker is a close second but he did get absolutely clowned part-way through F&WS which I think took some of the edge off.
