Just finished up the first two episodes. Kind of a cross between ""The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Bewitched". I enjoyed it but it is a tad slow. I'm sure there is a reason for that, pacing.......pacing. I can see the setup coming for more fast pacing.

Spoiler
Loved catching some of the easter eggs. The S.W.O.R.D. logo on the computer screen at the end of Episode 1. The Star industries toaster commercial and the Strucker HYDRA watch commercial.

Watched the episodes, sooooo many clues and easter eggs. Some are pretty up front some you have to really look for.

So far the show is really lame, it's not funny, it's not entertaining at all, it's just cheesy as hell, and it's very hard to watch.... I'm halfway through the second episode and I have no desire to finish it... whoever came up with this concept should be fired... You're going to lose your audience before the real story even begins, assuming there is one...

The episodes are short and the mystery is there. We know something is wrong so I'm fine being patient and letting it play out. I feel often audiences these days don't want suspense or to be left waiting with little clues.

Also, I enjoyed the legends of Wanda and Vision. Remind me of fan made youtube tributes.

Yes!

Next episodes better be a lot better. These two were damn near unwatchable.

I get that someone is messing with Wanda's mind but why make us sit through this horrible copy of Bewitch to tell that story, there had to be so many better ways to tell it then to torture your audience with bad 60's sitcom humor and laugh track...

I have no problem with a slow pace story at the beginning if it was actually interesting, this is just painful to watch..

I don’t think anyone’s messing with Wanda’s mind. I think she’s dealing with her grief over Vision’s death by creating a world where he’s still alive. A happy, go-lucky world that manifests itself as the sitcoms of her youth. Someone is trying to break through to her though(the voice over the speaker, the helicopter, the beekeeper), but she rejects those attempts to maintain the charade.

Those were not the sitcoms of her youth, she's only 31 lol..... Sitcoms of her youth would have been Saved by the Bell, Growing Pains, Family Matters, Blossom, etc...

At the end of episode 2 you hear a voice say "Wanda, who's doing this to you Wanda"....

I see these first two episodes as a kind of Truman Show that Wanda has created for herself and the intrigue is what's going on "behind the cameras" - i.e. what the relevance is of the little things that keep popping up like who was watching that monitor at the end of ep.1, who climbed out of the manhole, whose voice it was asking who was doing this to her, etc.
