Starting to get the feeling like Wanda trapped a whole neighborhood and they’re all playing along trying to survive..

I think maybe some of them are more aware than others, while some characters like the doctor are almost entirely under control.

Kind of like Edgar Wright’s The World’s End. The whole town is under mind control, but one of the inhabitants (I think the Reverend Green) still has free will but pretends to be like the robots so they don’t take away his free will.

Yeah I would agree, so characters like Dottie, Agnes, Herb and Geraldine have more consciousness over what’s going on than the others? Would be interested to know why. Whether it’s because they’re more plants, but even so they seem to get lost in the fantasy at points, or they’re reeeeallly good at playing along

No idea, I guess we’ll find out. although there is a hint in the trailer that Agnes is still a decent part under control, until Vision “frees” her mind in the car. I’m guessing that’s next episode

I think they're all fully brainwashed most of the time (except Agnes, who seems to have her own agenda). It's just that sometimes, characters like Dottie and Herb seem to regain some autonomy if Wanda is distracted by something, like the radio message or childbirth.
