I can't say that I'm ever invested minute to minute, but overall I'm just interested to see where things are going because I like the concept, I like the characters and I'm fascinated by the attempt to keep the MCU train rolling.

But just aesthetically speaking WandaVision has been a prime example of how easy it is these days to nail the look of something without hooking the feel of it as well. All of their sitcom homages look and sound like the things they're referencing, but the scripts just aren't there. And like you said, aside from the Malcolm episode and all the character stuff with Pietro, on a pure plot level this show sure is making an argument for the continued relevance of movies.

IMO the only reason the storytelling here works at ALL is thanks to the franchise it's nestled in. And all props due to Feige for that because he/Disney have me sitting here thinking I'd be alright with a season 2 despite coming this close to presuming this show would be a mid-season cancellation if it had to stand on its own.
