Seekest Thou the Road

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.

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 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...

This show is more than it says on the tin. Not just a Wandavision sequel, within the first few minutes it holds its own. Yes, it feeds from the past, but it's obviously building for a mystical future. The ensemble cast is brilliant and the characters as fantastic. One minute it's a drama, then a comedy, throw in some action and add a pinch of Broadway. If you want to be entertained this show has it in buckets. More than one mystery is set up, and we all know that real Marvel fans will be watching for as many Easter Eggs as they can find. It may be a long and winding road to find out answers, but Agatha has totally put a spell on me!

It feels like this show has been in development for a while. It wasn't much time after "WandaVision" was over that this show was announced, which was followed by a long process of title changes and casting announcement. Despite the fun nature of the marketing campaign, this wasn't necessarily a show that I was anticipating, despite how much I enjoyed that original show. This is not a character with a huge background, so it was limited how much they could do with her at all. However, it feels like Jac Schaeffer has found a way to bring her forward, while using a bit of nostalgia.

Schaeffer immediately brings back a familiar formula by dressing the show up as a gritty crime drama, mixing it up with the nostalgic brand of MCU humor and a bit of pulp that I did not expect. However, Schaeffer also knows that she won't be able to simply rely on this formula to get us through this show, and she very quickly pulls back the curtains to show what's really going on, and it shows a refreshing change of pace compared to its flagship show. Some may argue that the show could feel rushed, but spending time going through the motions in a similar fashion as we did in "WandaVision" would simply feel like a case of "been there, done that." The episode has a few new characters, but while they certainly do what they need to do in the episode, there is a bit of confusion going on, and the episode could have saved itself a little bit of that if it had been more transparent in regards to their service to the overall show. Then again, this is only the first episode so there's still time for that, but it did still feel like something was missing from here. Kathryn Hahn is still very good in this role and she rightly turns it on its head, by being intentionally campy throughout a very serious part of the episode. She adds such a lighthearted element to the show, yet still manages to get respect for how well she just nails this absolutely crazy character.

"Seekest Thou the Road" is certainly an entertaining start to this new show, and it cleverly sheds its gimmicky format very quickly for a more straightforward story. The episode does have a few setbacks, especially some clunky character introductions, but Kathryn Hahn is a constant joy in this role and she already carries a lot of the weight.
