Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss and review the hit Disney+ show WandaVision P
WandaVision – The Series Finale Review

That degree of difficulty grows exponentially when the series has a rabid fan base and has presented a quasi-puzzle box tale throughout its run (and if the show is all of that, plus years of waiting […]
