WANDAVISION
Disney+, 3:00 a.m. ET
Just to note the way Disney+ is rolling out this new Marvel Universe series, which I’m very intrigued by. The first two episodes were unveiled last Friday, but the rest of WandaVision is being presented with new episodes shown once a week, just as with a broadcast TV series. So today is Episode 3 of WandaVision – which, for now, is taking two superhero characters from the Avengers movies, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda the modern witch and Paul Bettany as Vision the enhanced android, and presenting them in an evolving, period-accurate sitcom TV world. But how, and why, and where, and when? Only the first three episodes, including tonight’s, were provided in advance to critics, and none of those questions is answered as yet. But it’s a weird, fun premise, and the accuracy with which these sitcom “homes” are recreated is astounding. And this episode brings Wanda and Vision into the color TV era, so stay tuned: things are changing so swiftly, it wouldn’t surprise me if WandaVision, which begins as a sitcom, ends up as a drama.
