This was surprisingly good.

The show takes its time to build the mystery.

Elizabeth Olsen really gets to shine here doing a great job as Wanda. Paul Bettany is great aswell.

The two actors elevate the show substancially.

The only thing I found unnecessary was that they had to shoe in a big CGI battle at the end. They could have kept it a bit more subtle in my opinion.

Apart from that there are real emotional stakes here so you are invested in the action.

Well done Marvel.
