6/10
Episode 1.1
17 January 2021
This is an odd Marvel sitcom. The Scarlet Witch and Vision have their own show and it is a homage to The Dick Van Dyke Show and Bewitched.

The first episode has the two superheroes living in 1950s suburbia. With sitcom staples such as the boss coming round for dinner but the wife does not know about it due to some misunderstandings.

It is a loving recreation of the era with a nosey neighbour who loves to gossip. There's even a fake advert for a toaster. It is shot in black and white with canned laughter.

It is very meta but not really funny and very left field. There are hints of something else is going on. Wanda and Vision realise that they know very little about themselves.

The first episode gave me a Pleasantville vibe.
