A limited series in the Marvel universe. Wanda Maximoff and Vision are seemingly characters in a sitcom world, and each episode moves that sitcom another era into the future. So we get Dick van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Brady Bunch, etc. This is a super fun conceit, but fair warning - the first two episodes are played almost entirely straight (no Marvel, only sitcom). After that, things get interesting. Largely this is an origin story for Wanda coming into her Scarlett Witch-iness. The long form of an 8 hour limited series allows some really good story telling. I just wish that if the story only requires 6 hours, don't force it.
4 stars (out of 5)
