+an American television miniseries created by Jac Schaeffer for the streaming
+service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Wanda Maximoff
+/ Scarlet Witch and Vision.

+
+This is (I believe) the first forray of Disney into the Marvel after buying it
+-- or, at least, the first outside the movies which Marvel had planned all
+along.
+
+In a way, it is a fun series, mostly 'cause you may have seen a TV series that
+Wandavision is replicating. But not everything is copycating some series, there
+is a story going on the side, which tries to explain why you're watching Wanda
+and Vision in, say, "I Love Lucy" style, although the real reason is actually
+shown in the very last episodes.
+
+And the real reason for the multiple series is actually a pretty good reason,
+but someone decided that it was time to introduce another villain, just in case
+Disney decided to make a Wanda movie in the future.
+
+In case you didn't spoil yourself yet, here it goes: Wanda is using her full
+power to create an illusion in the same style of the series she watched as a
+kid, after losing Vision and her brother in the movies. So the whole thing is
+actually a way to deal with loss and how people search escape from the sad
+feelings they feel and that affects people around -- which is a pretty large
+affect part when you have magical powers.
+
+Acting is top notch, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany still doing the
+quality they did in the movies. The rest of the cast just follows along.
+
+In the end, it is fun series, even when the message is pretty dark.
