Agatha All Along

First, I find it interesting that people could leave one star reviews on a show that hadn't premiered yet. Looks like some are a bit pre-biased.

Be that as it may, the show is not the be all end all and it's not the meaning of life, but it's fun and it's very interesting and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series. Joe Locke is perfect casting as expected, Kathryn Hahn is amazing as always, and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the coven. It has the right notes of spookiness, especially for the Halloween season, and I think using the same exterior for the house in Bewitched from the 60s is an awesome call back. I'll be here every week.

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!

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!

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 came in to Agatha All Along with no pre-conceived ideas or having done any looking in to the back story. So, it wasn't until I was deep in and watching Episode 6 (?) that I realized that it had a connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - WandaVision in particular. I felt scammed and peeved.

Well, having gotten engaged in Agatha All Along, I paused it and had to watch WandaVission. While WandaVision has some critical element as back story to Agatha All Along, it is pretty tangential (and - IMO - a much lesser show than Agatha All Along).

Well I finished E6, then dove in to E7-E9 and have to really give the show credit. The acting is superb across the board, with Hahn as Agatha being a standout. The sets have an off beat, original perspective as the show moves along. Most of all, the trials the characters go through and their growth is well done. The show keeps an engaging, adult story line, none of the usual sugar coating where everyone ends up ok in the end.

While I don't think the connection to the MCU was necessary, it is what it is. And, it does not detract unduly from the overall show. I would likely watch a season two if in the offing.
