This was so funny, all the references to shows like The Killing and the Mare of East Town were brilliant. I loved the hints about The Wizard of Oz too. Can't wait for the next episode.
It's not Marvel Superheroes and that's fine, there are plenty of those. I think a few people may have missed that it was supposed to be overdone and predictable at the beginning. Maybe they aren't such a fan of the Nordic Noir genre so they didn't appreciate the cleverness. I loved every second of it, absolutely worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing what happens next, hoping lots of different styles like in Wandavision.

The show starts with an agent named Agnes who is on the case of a body that was found in the woods. She must try and identify who the body is and along the way she seems to be finding herself also.
The show is a fine start nothing spectacular! The acting I found was a bit weird, it just felt off at some points throughout the episode.
The story of this episode is fine, again it's the first episode so the hook is all you are looking for.
I will watch the whole show but nothing major drawing me in as of yet.
A good start to the Halloween season. I'm hoping this show takes off in the next couple episodes, 5.5/10.

What begins as a standard police procedural mystery, with two strong femme cops on the case, turns at the halfway mark into a hard-to-follow supernatural show, with witches turning out to be the main theme. It was a far cry from being a compelling pilot episode, with Hahn and Plaza the only reasons to stay tuned.
The spooky music hinted a bit at what was to come, and the opening credits listing character names instead of actor names tells us that like its predecessor "WandaVision" we are watching (at first) a fake TV show with fake credits, not "real", but I was thrown by the arbitrary details for the transition from seeming reality to fantasy. I suppose gimmicks are instantly acceptable in the Marvel family of comic-strip content, but I didn't find anything interesting here, including Hahn's tame nude scene. And I'm turned off by the end credits listing enough names (including dozens of drivers) for a "Lord of the RIngs" movie, including maybe a hundred names, totally extraneous, listing the office and executive staff at Marvel and at Disney. Plus enough producers for this miniseries to launch a huge Broadway play.

That first episode was perfect and anyone who didn't like it is dead inside!
I loved it so much I'm afraid of watching the second one.
The entire episode was so intriguing and well built. I actually didn't look at my phone, not even once!
At first you wonder what is it that you're watching, is it actually going to be a detective show? But then you see that something is off, you remember that the show is in the WandaVision universe, you remember about alternative realities and then everything makes sense.
The moment Aubrey Plaza's character shows up there were fireworks going on in my brain. She was amazing in the episode and whenever the two of them were together, you could see the about the sparkles. It made me think of Killing Eve and I can't wait for more.

The series got off to an almost PERFECT start from episode 1, and the series' connection to WandaVision is pretty solid. But I guess because the commenters haven't watched WandaVision, they couldn't understand what the first episode of Agatha All Along was, and accordingly, absurdly prejudiced comments were written. And it seems that the series has already been lynched, almost half of the raters gave it a 1, you are ridiculous.
Instead of fake giving 1 point to the series, give your real score so that MARVEL can proceed and plan accordingly.
WandaVision adaptations are very good and it is a BEYOND PERFECT series for Wanda Maximoff lovers like me...

- TriviaThe opening exchange between Agatha and Herb pays homage to how they first exchanged in WandaVision (2021), on either side of a "fence."
- GoofsThe two take-out cups of coffee Agnes brings to the crime scene would presumably both be full, but the way they are handled and waved around without spilling a drop, they are obviously empty prop cups.
Given the role these scenes played in the overall narrative, however, the error can be seen as mocking what is a frequent gaffe in the genre, and may have even been purposeful therefore.
- Quotes
Herb: Surprised to see you here, Detective.
Agnes O'Connor: There I was, sitting on my duff, playing Candy Crush, happy as a clam, enjoying the fruits of my *undeserved* disciplinary action...
Herb: You punched a suspect.
Agnes O'Connor: Oh, now a convicted felon. I can't be right and wrong at the same time.
Herb: Yes, you can.
