WandaVision

WandaVision is the first of the Disney shows that take place in the MCU. I need to start off with my praise for Elizabeth Olsen and the job she does here. She's not only beautiful but she's such an underrated actress. She really is one of the better actresses working right now. Wanda is one of the most powerful superheroes in the entire MCU and it really shows here. It's a weird and very fun show that will keep you entertained throughout the series. The attention to detail really captured the era and is a fantastic tribute to to the sitcoms of that era. If you're a fan of the MCU then this is a must watch!

First of, I'm not a Marvel fan, not into comics and superheroes at all, so please read this review as what it is: an outsider's point of view. I watched this show, because I saw the trailer and the obvious homage to classic television appealed to me. All those shows paid tribute to and mentioned, I like. The way the main character related to them affected me. The cast was great, the humor a lovely surprise. The villain, well, not exactly my cup of tea, but as I said, I have no background in this universe, so I won't go into further detail. What I loved beyond words was the attention to detail and the visible love expressed for TV history from The Dick van Dyke Show to Malcolm in the Middle. Now that hit a nerve and made me smile all the way through, love story included. I'm still positively enthralled.

Show is developing nicely and although the build up is slow, by episode 5 the story progresses more and gets interesting. World building seems good, characters are solid and there's an eerie vibe in every episode which makes it intriguing.

Also, this show is somewhat different; many double meanings and implications. Feel free to interpret. Wandavision is already a pun.

On another note, I am happy to see many actors from various MCU films appearing. Also, the core cast of this show is pretty good (see Kathryn Hahn) and OlsenBettany are given a nice chance to show some more acting skills and deliver comedy on top of the drama and action that we are used to.

So, its an 8/10 for now, looks like a novel show. Give it a go.

I was really excited by this title and I still am, ALTHOUGH I just watched two episodes of the show and I'm a bit at a loss. I'm not scratching my head as to what happened, I like being puzzled, but I am not yet sure if the first two episodes really add up to anything and I am afraid of how that is going to translate to the series as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I adore the concept, but I feel that I watched a standalone story with only a fraction of what might be the actual story. I got really excited at first only to feel a bit bored later. It needed more excitement, thrills and/or mystery. Or such a slow and (pardon me for saying this) monotonous beginning should have been releashed as a whole, in order to offer the whole colourful and multilayered experience we have all been waiting for (and I bet we will get by the end). For the reasons I explained, I believe it didn't leave a nice taste to a good amount of people. This is definitely not the next "Mandalorian" for Disney+, but I am glad they are taking risks and pushing the boundaries that we came to expect for a superhero medium. I hope the show finds its footing soon so it won't just feel like a special. High hopes, still. *EDIT* Just watched the third episode. And I, still, stand by my words. We're getting there, but slowly. I insist that it would be a more pleasant experience as a binge, because I still feel I watched nothing essential. *EDIT* EPISODE 4 WAS GREAT!

It might have been an error on Disney's part to release only the first 2 episodes at once instead of 4 episodes. While I am on of the few people who absolutely loved the intrigue and mystery of the first three episodes, this exceptional show has been getting a lot of hate due to a lack of plot.

... And then the 4th episode came out. Not only was it an exceptional episode, but it justified the use of the first three and even gave some answers to the many questions of Wanda vision.

Overall a brilliant show that shouldn't be judged on the first three episodes (especially if your only complaint is a lack of plot)
