Yes.
It functions perfectly well as a mystery-fantasy drama even if it wasn’t set somewhere in the MCU. The slow burn approach, drip-feeding minor clues from week to week, is well tried and tested not just in full-season network shows like Lost but also in more recent streaming material with an 8-10 week run. In fact it having “Marvel” slapped on it may be making you impatient to get on to the sort of high-kicking superhero action I strongly suspect is not going to be a major feature of this show. They’re clearly trying to use the TV format to do something a bit different. Something they wouldn’t be able to attempt in a single feature-length story (which is why I think you trying to compare the time spent on anything to what would be devoted to it in a film is redundant).
