This is the third chapter in the story that began with WandaVision, and Terry Matalas runs it as showrunner. Paul Bettany plays a rebuilt Vision. According to the reviews, he was made without the old Vision's memories, and he now lives quietly as a barback in a Scottish pub. Much of the show happens inside his head, in a "Mindspace" where AI characters from the franchise appear as people, including an imprisoned Ultron voiced by James Spader. Then a bounty hunter, played by Todd Stashwick, comes looking for him, and Vision is drawn towards a teenager who may be Tommy Maximoff. That is the first act, and this review stops there.
The strongest agreement is about the two leads. Time's Judy Berman, who is otherwise unconvinced, says Bettany and Spader are "great together", and the AV Club's William Hughes gives the show an A- and calls the Bettany and Spader scenes its core. TheWrap's Hunter Ingram calls the series "silly but worthy" and finds it lighter on its feet, and more hopeful, than much recent Marvel work. The supporting cast gets praise too. Critics pick out Emily Hampshire's E.D.I.T.H., Diane Morgan's deadpan as the bounty hunter's associate and Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy. TechRadar's Tom Power treats it as a satisfying end to the trilogy that also stands alone.
essentially a techy action thriller with a lonely hero who contemplates the nature of his existence
Judy Berman, Time
Berman means that as a complaint, which brings us to the split.
Critics divide on how much the show gives back once it leaves Vision's head. Berman finds it a conventional finale that lacks the style of WandaVision and Agatha All Along, with digital backdrops that feel like video-game levels, and says it leans on franchise history to make sense. Hughes agrees that the story gets clunkier the further it moves from Bettany and Spader, and he dislikes the bounty hunter's "quirky" routine. Ingram notes too many digital puns and metaphors, and Power lists some mid-season pacing stumbles, jarring editing and a first big twist that lands softly. On Rotten Tomatoes the series opened around the high seventies to mid eighties, depending on the day, so the room is broadly positive with real reservations.
It suits viewers who followed Vision from the start and want him to get the lead role. It is a harder sell for anyone who wants WandaVision-style formal games, or who has not seen the earlier films and shows. Tap what applies below. This is a reading of the reviews, not a prediction.
