I just finished. It was great! I admit I wasn't very invested in the title characters' romance in the movies, but this miniseries really got the best out of it! Elizabeth and Paul did a great job during the sitcom scenes. They showcased the different acting styles that were popular over the decades (sometimes they even made an impression of a specific actor). However, for some reason, they were less good (though not bad) during the real world scenes.
There are a lot of genre shows/films where the comic relief bring everything down, so I've gotten used to feeling relief whenever a character like this (in this case, Jimmy Woo) contributes a lot to the plot, especially if they have badass moments.
Debra Jo Rupp didn't appear in a lot of episodes and her character wasn't that important. Why was she listed as a regular? And why did she get top billing over a lot of other actors? She's famous, but not the kind of mega-star that doesn't allow for a measly guest starring credit.

Just when we thought the M.C.U. was done with the disappointing baddies... Sigh... I mean, Director Hayward was so generic he didn't seem to have any real motivation. He seemed evil just because. And despite building up the conflict with White Vision, it was all solved in a few minutes. Speaking of, I expected the conflict to be between him and Wanda, not Red Vision. Think about it. You're in denial due to your soulmate's death and then you have to fight against his walking dead body? That would've given the situation more dramatic weight! Well, at least Agatha/Agnes was a more worthy adversary, even if she didn't leave an impression on the same level as some of the films' villains.
Evan Peters wasn't really playing Pietro/Quicksilver after all, so casting him was just a way to play with audiences' expectations of a multiverse crossover with the X-MEN series. So, if/when those characters join this universe, they'll be played by different actors. Fine by me.
