But Wandavision doles out its hints and clues about a deeper mystery and likely malevolence at work in tantalisingly spare fashion. Given that Vision was very much dead when we left him in the cinematic realm, we know – even without the fun but deliberately unexplained and discombobulating race through the decades – that not all can be quite what it seems in the couple’s domestic paradise. After that we’re into the 70s and the Brady Bunch and beyond. The first is set in the 50s and channels the likes of The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy, while the second moves them into the 60s and a Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie vibe. It sees the telekinetic and reality-warping Wanda and her enhanced android husband settled in the white-picket-fenced apparent idyll of Westview, trying to live an ordinary suburban life without giving their secrets away to their nosy neighbour, Agnes (Katherine Hahn, who may or may not be more than she appears as the self-referential but never smug episodes of the series play out) and the rest of the world.Įach episode is a pitch-perfect – from script, to delivery, to lighting, to cinematography, to aspect ratio – but loving parody of classic sitcoms. F or those of you not entirely au fait with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wanda Maximoff (AKA Scarlet Witch in the original comics) and Vision are a romantically entwined couple of superhero-ish characters played by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in the films and now given their own television spin-off, Wandavision (Disney+).
