Agatha All Along

I love exploring this little corner of Marvel. It doesn't relate much back to the larger MCU but I don't think they ever led anyone to believe it would.

It's a great Halloween witch story very much in the vein of Hocus Pocus. It's silly, campy, quippy, but still with an edge that keeps you on your toes.

Kathryn Hahn excels and really drives the bus here, allowing everyone else to shine in their own way.

This is only after the first two episodes but really I don't have any complaints. The action could use some tighter choreography, that was my one note.

Whether Wanda returns by the end or not, I don't think it matters! This show enchants all on its own.

I am saddened by the people downvoting this show simply because of a character's sexual orientation. It's not even the highlight of the show; it is just referenced.

Anyway, judging by the duel-episode premier, the show is enticing. It's a bit goofy with its humor, but what Marvel project hasn't dipped into that silliness? The vibes of the show are perfect for the Halloween season. I am excited for the continued expansion of magical beings in the MCU.

My only concern would be whether or not the teased surprises in store will actually be surprising, but this is a general worry due to past MCU Disney+ shows. They just don't seem to stick the landing, but--damn--does this one have a promising start.

I am having a good time so far. Hahn, Plaza, and LuPone seem to be enjoying themselves, as well! While it may not be as serious and heavy as Falcon and the Winter Solider, it certainly is miles ahead of She-Hulk's absurdity for the sake of absurdity.

This takes place after the events of WandaVision and Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness. I am rating this after watching episode 7 and I look forward to watching this every week. The first episode starts off in a bizarre fashion and I think might cause some viewers to abandon ship early, however the writing is very clever and the time jumps that go back and forth add a delightful twist to every episode. It's hard to trust the negative reviews on this because the Marvel fan base has become as bad as the Star Wars fan base so take it with a grain of salt.

I think the casting is pretty good and Kathryn Hahn does a splendid job reprising the Agatha Harkness character all in all I think of you like a darker mystery and enjoyed WandaVision then you will probably like Agatha all Along as well.

After two episodes I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with this show. It was slow, didn't seem to be much plot, I wasn't identifying with the characters and overall it seemed like a show for goth teens but not for me. I decided if something didn't click in episode three then I'd write it off and move on to something else.

Boy am I glad I gave it that one last chance because it really started clicking in episode three. The real adventure finally began and some explanations started to come together for a lot of mysterious things that had me wondering if I just wasn't remembering enough from WandaVision or if I was supposed to read the comics first.

It still seemed like a bit of a teen show but at least it was on a more fun journey now. As the episodes went by something else happened as well, it matured into more adult themes and I was both surprised and genuinely moved by the final reveals.

Even if you think this show isn't for you at first, give it a chance and it will reward you in due time. By the end I was wishing for a second season but alas it sounds like it's one and done, and maybe that's for the best given the journey it took to get there. I'm glad I went for the ride!

The series Agatha All Along is a fascinating spin-off from WandaVision, created by Jac Schaeffer, and the first two episodes already provide an excellent glimpse of what's to come. As is often the case with Marvel productions, the cinematography is impeccable, raising the visual standard we've come to expect from the MCU.

The characters are incredibly captivating right from the start, sparking curiosity and a desire to learn more about each one. The actresses are perfectly cast in their roles, standing out with performances that bring both humor and emotion to the narrative.

One of the highlights is the music at the end of the second episode. The masterful blend of major and minor tones creates an unforgettable atmosphere, leaving a chill and an irresistible urge to keep watching. Once again, Marvel holds the audience's attention with a seamless combination of elements.

If you haven't started watching yet, this series promises to be one of Marvel's most enchanting. Don't miss it!
