I really enjoyed Wandavision! As others have said, the first episode was quite off-putting, and it's a shame that the season opens with what is in my opinion the weakest episode. On the one hand, I think it was brave to open with the first episode the way they did, the writers were essentially saying "yes, we're not going to explain anything, and you'll have to give this show some time". I suppose that is somewhat refreshing in an era of instant gratification TV.
As the show progressed, it seemed to almost get better with every episode. Above all else, I loved the references. I'm a sucker for references, and I was genuinely surprised by the extent of the references used. I actually thought it was slightly odd (in a good way) for a Marvel show to have references which would fly well over the heads of the younger audience members. The attention to detail was superb as well. That 80's style theme song got stuck in my head.
Above all else, it's been a while since I had fun watching a TV show, and I'm so pleased that someone took a bit of a risk green lighting this show, it isn't for everyone.
2020/21 has been a real content drought for our medium, and this went some way to mitigating the void.
