Featured review
Uneven but well worth seeing
'WandaVision' (2021)
Opening thoughts: Had heard a lot of good things about 'WandaVision', as well as some divisive opinions, and needed another show to binge watch in insolation. Have actually liked quite a lot of Marvel's previous work and have liked Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in other things, with more familiarity with the latter. The mix of mystery and sitcoms with a mix of comedy and serious themes immediately sounded very intriguing, though did worry about it being a case of trying to do too much.
While not quite as good as has been said by others and do agree with some of the criticisms against against it, 'WandaVision' is a creative and bold show that is well worth seeing at least once. It isn't one of those shows that found its feet straightaway, taking about a third in before doing so, and ends underwhelmingly, but when it does get going 'WandaVision' at its best was absolutely excellent. There is a huge amount to admire even when at its weakest.
Bad things: Do agree about the first three episodes being rather unsettled, the pacing could have been tighter and while the mystery does intrigue it does feel odd and wasn't always easy to follow.
Also agree about the ending being incredibly flat and anti-climactic, something that was crying out for another season. 'WandaVision' was for most of its run very bold, very creative and very ambitious and for it to end in such a predictable, conventional, indifferent way with a what the heck-like reveal was really unfortunate.
Good things: However, there is a lot to admire here as said. Olsen is absolutely fantastic, the role requiring a lot of dimensions and being very chameleon-like and Olsen brings every single dimension out effortlessly. Bettany is a commanding presence throughout and also succeeds in giving his character complexity. Kathryn Hahn steals every scene she's in and the comic relief is genuinely funny and not overdone or obnoxious. The characters are well written and fleshed out, especially Vision and the show's depiction of grief and trauma.
Furthermore, the production values are excellent. Very stylish and vibrant. Meanwhile the music is atmospheric and quirky, evoking a good deal of nostalgia and doesn't come over as over-bearing. The writing is mostly a major success, the sitcom tropes feel fresh and nostalgic and the humour is funny and smart. Some critics found the sitcom element cheesy and gimmicky, this reviewer didn't. It surprisingly balances very well with the show's very realistic and movingly relatable depiction of grief, trauma and mental health (which all resonated with me), and also the affectionate superhero tropes. The conflict has fun, tension and thrills at its best and the storytelling is once 'WandaVision' very compelling, entertaining and powerful viewing.
Closing thoughts: Overall, uneven but well worth seeing.
7/10.
