Summary
Reviewers say 'WandaVision' is lauded for its innovative fusion of classic sitcom elements and MCU lore, featuring strong performances by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. The show's deep dive into grief and trauma, alongside its genre-bending narrative, garners acclaim. However, some criticize its slow pacing, inconsistent tone, and sitcom format, which feels gimmicky. The ambitious storytelling occasionally outpaces execution, resulting in a disjointed experience and underutilized supporting cast. Despite mixed opinions, 'WandaVision' is widely seen as a daring and experimental MCU entry.

A refreshing and creative television series. This series with its first two episodes almost sluggishly slow only to later pick up speed breaking new "immersive" ground in the superhero genre. Somewhat difficult to understand at first but quite unexpected, funny, and enjoyable, the comedic nature of this series eventually makes way for dramatic superhero action with heart-wrenching end. The various plot themes, from past television comedy series, to mysterious military thrillers, paranormal powers that border on magic make for a difficult script writing effort. The script though almost nearly becomes a seamless continuous television experience. The use of flashbacks and editing at times become worrisome in their approach but actually somehow redeem themselves quite well with their intentions reflective of great scriptwriting. All the loose ends almost magically come together with so many storylines explained and offering nice understanding of how individual characters fit with each other and themselves. Overall, this series becomes edgy and eventually introduces emotionally charged philosophical and humanistic quandaries. Definitely worth watching.
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.
I found WandaVision to be a pretty entertaining show that's a fantastic addition to Phase 4! It's so over the top bananas but it works in a weirdly entertaining way! Once you start watching it you'll want to binge it as quickly as possible. I don't understand some of these negative reviews though...did you not watch the trailers? Some of you are acting surprised at what you were watching. I don't get it...what were you expecting that you didn't get to see? It's a wildly original show that's such a fun ride that you can't turn away and that absolutely pays off in the end. Elizabeth Olsen is so amazing here that she absolutely deserved an Emmy nomination! She was also just great and the best thing going in the new Dr. Strange movie!
When this show first released, I thought it would be a romance series only between Wanda and Vision, and I said to myself "hell nah, I'm not gonna watch this". But being a bigtime comic nerd, I've always had that urge where I wanna watch every super hero movie/TV show, so I've had this show in my mind everytime I watch a Marvel movie or TV show.
Today, I finally said F it, and pressed play on the first episode, and boy o boy am I glad I did.
It starts of very weird and slow, but then it turns into this long and amazing Marvel "movie". I binged the whole series in 1 day. Loved every episode.
Highly recommended, even if Wanda and/or Vision isn't your top 10 super hero from the other Marvel movies.

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)
