I really enjoyed the first two episodes, but I’d imagine it’s going to be quite polarising. My wife hated it and got up half way through episode 2.
I thought Bettany and Olsen were excellent. They mix elements of mania and confusion into their performances really well, underneath the over-the-top sitcom caricatures.
I agree on the humour, it isn’t particularly funny despite the delivery being good, but I think it’s deliberate? The jokes are a bit too obvious, the characters a bit too over the top, even the canned laughter seems a bit too loud to me. Deliberate or not, it adds to it when I’m trying to see the show through the perspective of Wanda’s mind.
I think it’s more enjoyable if you know a bit about the character in the comics and where it’s heading movie-wise in terms of Dr Strange and Spider-Man 3.
Enjoyed looking for the Easter eggs too and looking forward to episode 3.
