As per the title, WandaVision is "Now in Colour" and it's just as spectacular as before. It's sights are set on 70s sitcoms now and the results are just entertaining as the first two entries, particularly in the production design and colour scheme. If anything this feels like a recreation of Mork and Mindy, which is a fitting show to emulate for this formula, and the actual plot of the episode not only is a great self contained piece of comedy but also moves along the actual background story which is a bonus.
And yeah, this is where the background story really seems to start to be taking center stage. It plays up the horror angle much more then I was expecting, and it's genuinely creepy at points. Wanda's sudden rewind in the middle of the episode is meta but it's one that serves a greater purpose beyond being a stellar usage of the medium - it's also the first true sign that she is indeed the manipulator behind events. And the end of the episode is a huge sudden shock to the system, to the point where it's no longer clear if this is even a story about a heroic figure anymore. The final shot in particular will linger in your head.
