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.
Featured reviews
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.

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.
WandaVision started off really strong in the beginning. I loved the mystery aspects of the show and the vibe that something is really off was intriguing and interesting to me. Got me hooked! Unfortunately it ended up being lackluster after episode 7 imo and all the teasing and references throughout, were just that. The show still ended up being good nonetheless just not as clever as i thought it was.
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)

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.
