TheWandaVisionspin-off miniseries premiered with mixed reactions from fans but managed to win over the audience due to its many twists and mysteries. However, final ratings declare the clear winner as the Colin Farrell show’s final episode trumps the ratings of Kathryn Hahn’s show’s highest-rated episode.
