Review: WANDAVISION

​WANDAVISION - I finally watched. I always understood that it wouldn't be a disappointment because I trust Marvel and Disney. But as a viewer, I'm uninterested in 1/2hr multi-camera 50's sitcoms, therefore I was bored AF for 4 episodes. As soon as we were into episode 5, I became interested because I like a more dramatic tone and modern cinematic style.

With that said, I think it's great the writers had the opportunity to try something new. However, I still believe a new writer wouldn't have been given the grace to take such a risk on unestablished IP.
I just have one question that may ruin the premise, but... If Wanda enjoyed her bubble so much, why would she broadcast her TV show?
Critique: Though I know this series was just a setup for Rambeau, once she received her powers and pushed her way back into town, her storyline was anticlimactic. She didn't help or hurt anything, therefore she no longer pushed the story forward. Would've been great to see her be a part of the final solution rather than watch her watch from the sideline.
