You know, the more I read about this the less interested I get. Reviews seem to indicate it’s playing cutesy with its homages—a brew that can descend into mean-spiritedness, as in the horrible Pleasantville. And, while I know disparaging sitcoms is popular, I would prefer a genuine sitcom (even a superhero-themed one) to a spoof of sitcoms. Elizabeth Olsen looks lovely in the ’50s hair, makeup, and outfits, though. I wouldn't call it mean-spiritedness. More that the sitcom world is more of a trap. Either by some unknown force or by Wanda herself. Jury still out on that one. So it's not that the homages are against the sitcom tropes, but that the sitcom world itself might be against the people. So there is some push back. The first episode there isn't any pushback, 2nd a little, 3rd a little more. Like I said in another post above, they do the delve into where the jokes are getting a little lamer and fall flat, but the laugh tracks continue. Almost as if the sitcom world itself is mocking them. Edit: When I said unknown force or Wanda: I should say the catalyst for the creation of the world could be unknown force, as it's obvious at the end of 3rd episode, (and some scenes in epi 1 and 2) Wanda has control over the world. We still don't know if Wanda created the world or if something else did and she just took over.
