    Eega

    ★★★★

    You haven’t experienced pure joy until you’ve seen Eega. The ridiculous premise shouldn’t work, but it somehow does, and the cheesy VFX only adds to the film’s charm. Never doubt S. S. Rajamouli.

The way the show explores grief in a sitcom backdrop is ingenious and compelling to me, and for the first time, we finally get a good sense of Wanda and Vision's relationship, something that was severely lacking from the MCU movies. It's unfortunate, then, that the last two episodes veer into more pedestrian and predictable territory, climaxing in…
