Has anyone else been following Wandavision?

The last two episodes have been fastastic, especially the end of the latest episode!

Yes, I’ve been really enjoying it! I like how it began with a cheery sitcom vibe to cover up something sinister going on, and that it was glossed over less and less in each episode. Now, I love the cross-cutting between S.W.O.R.D. scenes and the sitcom. I appreciate how subtly the sitcom aspect is unravelling - for example in episode 5, the jokes in Vision’s workplace are about 80s technology, clearly a script written with the benefit of hindsight.

SPOILERS for episode 5:

I have never seen the X-men films, so Evan Peters’ appearance didn’t do much for me - I was kinda hoping for Aaron Taylor Johnson, actually. I also feel out of my depth when it comes to the influence of the comics, which I’ve never read (neither of these things are criticisms of the show obviously!) I’ve had a great time experiencing the show as it has progressed, with all the twists and turns, and from what I can glean from wise comic experts, I believe the explanation that Wanda is solely responsible for Westview is misleading. ‘Agnes’ and a certain character called Mephisto might be in on it too…
