REVIEW: WandaVision – Episode 9 “The Series Finale”

The MCU’s most inventive offering ends its limited run with the appropriately titled “The Series Finale,” and WandaVision’s wrap-up is more or less what you’d expect. It hits some story elements out of the park, but others are just a little bland, with certain ideas not fully explored or j...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 1 “All’s Wells That Ends Wells”
