My main gripe, if you want to call it that, was that something about the narrative kept me acutely aware OF the narrative.
Specifically, most of the way through the trip through doors to Wanda's past had me thinking of lines from A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life [Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!].
Then, when they get to SWORD facilities, they switch from the narrator/observer to a straight cinematic audience POV to send Wanda to Westview and The Event. And I spent that time wondering how we were going to get back to the narrator/observer of Wanda and Agatha, . . . and they just . . . did.
Also drawing me out, why did Wanda's parents have VHS in a suitcase and a tiny TV, then turn around and break out DVDs, which barely existed as a format when her parents died? And then with Malcolm in the Middle on VHS, that was a show that didn't air until after her parents were killed.
