I like the premise and the story very much The show has really done a lot of great things. It so far is very well thought out with clues from episode 1 and a number of very nice concepts in terms of the progression of the show. The jewel in the crown however is the chemistry between PB and EO which is truly beautiful to see. The fact that they can act so well together makes me wonder if Infinity War and Endgame would not have benefited from having significantly more focus on these Avengers (it should be noted that in the comics they are more important avengers than they were in the movies). Olsen and Bettany have demonstrated in this show that they are truly top class actors and they make the entire thing. In addition the writing is very intelligent and interesting and everything seems to tie together well. However there are some indications that Disney is playing bait and switch here by pushing small delicate "woke" ideas slowly but surely into the story. One example is claiming that Wanda and Captain Marvel could have each single handedly taken down Thanos. The reality is that in terms of power, both of them just could not compare to Thanos with even one infinity stone let alone all of them and that both Thor and the Hulk, and arguably even the vision (especially with his stone) would be more powerful than either. These little hints, and the fact that Disney has this tendency to ruin good things with their "woke ideologies" prevents me from going 10/10 on this review. If it turns out that I am wrong about where this is going, I will amend this review up to probably 10/10 given almost perfect production values and one of the most interesting stories to date from the Marvel stables, but if I am right I will also amend downward. Please Wandavision focus on the relationship between Wanda and the Vision and less on some ideological (lack of) morality play and you will have on your hands maybe the best show of the decade.
