Review by Frank Carrizo Zirit
VIP9I’m four episodes in and quite frankly, I don’t see this show getting any better. At least Wandavision picked up after the third episode. Those people saying this is the best MCU show so far must be on crack.
UPDATE:
Now that I've finished watching all the episodes, I still feel a bit shortchanged with this show. I do think Oscar Isaacs did an incredible job all through the season, but I still feel it's terribly paced. Even though the last episode was awesome, I had already lost much of the initial interest. Ethan Hawke's character falls flat for me. Marvel films have created great villains with powerful motivations to justify what they do. Damn! I still think Thanos had a very good point! If Hawke was supposed to be Marc/Steven's foil, he came across as a bland bad guy who wanted to be bad because Khonshu is a trickster god who lied to him (we still don't know exactly how). Had his history arc been developed thoroughly, it would've opened more complex layers in the story. Also, they boast they got an Egyptian director who knew his way around Egyptian mythology... but... the show was quite lacklustre on that regards as well, IMO. Now we're left with a cliffhanger that hints at a second season. Oh my...loading replies
@fzirit That's interesting. I actually found the first three episodes of WandaVision to be the best three episodes of that show. I liked the first couple episodes of Moon Knight best as well so far (4 eps in now). But maybe that's just me being gruff and tired of all the vanilla on TV, wanting something weird and innovative. I say bring on the weirdness!
This story can be crazy and ridiculous at some points but the message that it tries to pass through is very important. Nature and polution. Plants are tired of humans polluting the world so they start to release toxins that lead humans to kill themselves. Yes, it's strange and pretty much nonsense. But looking at it on the other way it's at least a different story about the global warming than the usual stuff we are used to see.
It's full of suspense and some of the scenes were people are killing themselves are so creepy and chilling. The feeling of fear it's in the air.
I think the thing that didn't worked well for me was Mark Wahlberg, he can't convince me. I don't think he is a good actor and because of that I can't say if it was supposed to him to play a crazy character like that or if it's just him that is bad.loading replies
Hmmm, CO2 is literally plant food.
It's not even remotely funny. Dropped it. Sad to stop two shows at their first day. Locke & Key and this one.

@guenguer You've watched two episodes, which especially for comedy is not enough to give it any sort of rating.
