Season 2 has been overall a bit too slow, but the last few episodes were satisfying enough. Esmail's arthouse ambitions and pointless deviations are not always tasteful, but I appreciate that he is trying to do something different than your average show. While the first season kept both the characters and the audience in the dark, this time it's Elliot who purposedly betrays the narrator-narratee trust relationship. Was it necessary? Probably not, but it is an effective way to remind us that we should keep questioning whatever happens, thus building up to the big question mark raised in the finale. Kudos to episode six for doing WandaVision five years in advance.
