Is that Charlie from Heartstopper?

First two episodes up on Disney+. Really enjoyed both. A lot of fun, decent cast, and Kathryn Hahn is just flawless. This could be a good one.

Interesting start to this show, have no idea of the background but will stick with it. Hopefully it does not end up like Sabrina on Netflix.

The three episodes so far are very enjoyable, third one I found strongest which is a good sign, the cast and the sets are excellent Hahn is terrific as she is in pretty much everything.

Seems decent viewing numbers as well.

Cost also seemingly the lowest for a Disney+ MCU TV show.

So I am guessing

Spoiler Warning

The Joe Locke character is Agatha's son, interesting, also a nice mention of mephisto!

RIP Mrs Hart though I get the feeling she might pop up again!

Still really enjoying this. Best TV show Marvel have put out in ages. The cast are all fantastic with particular shout out to Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza, but you'd expect nothing less from them at this stage, just perfectly cast.

Finished it at lunchtime. Have to say, I really loved the whole thing. Episode 7 (last week) was a particular highlight, but overall I went from being extremely skeptical about the show given it was pretty much just done because she had a catchy song in Wandavision, to thinking they really made something incredibly enjoyable out of it. Performances were terrific throughout, the story played out really well*, and some of the scenes and ideas were fantastic.

*Spoiler for ending

Spoiler Warning

It somewhat falls into the usual Marvel trap of spending too much time in the finale essentially setting up what could happen next rather than just focusing on resolving what they have now. It meant the conflict between Billy & Agatha was resolved a bit too quickly to set them up for trying to find Tommy, even though at this stage with the way the MCU is, will this even get a Season 2? Or a Wiccan TV show? Combine his story into a Young Avengers thing or roll it into Vision's TV show?

Maye I'm the wrong audience for this but stuck with it as I'd started up. Started of interestimg but after a few episodes i completely lost interest in it. Completely overy head.

Quite enjoyed that, nice finale - would be interested in another season

Had to jog the brain to remember stuff from Wandavision which I wasn't as enamoured with

Last episode still to go but I really enjoyed it. I also previously believed it was completely unnecessary and likely to be fluff, at best. But - good writing, excellent cast, good links to the MCU continuity (if that's your thing - I can see how someone coming to it without that interest/previous knowledge might be a bit non-plussed). Also, made for a much lower budget than other Marvel shows, apparently. Could be interesting for their model going forward…

Totally agree I thought last episode was excellent. Cast and practical sets were terrific.

Budget seemingly less than 40m dollars. For comparison falcon and the winter soldier figures reported are 150m

Found it average at best, last episode was shíte. First two episodes and your suddenly thrown into the realm of witches. All over the shop.
