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.

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!

My partner introduced me to Agatha all along as a series that she wanted to watch as an avid marvel fa - I on the other hand was somebody who had never watched Marvel before in my life so I was very dubious and hesitant to get into a show that I would have no idea about. Within the first 10 minutes I was hooked and I've been hooked ever since. The show is something that I didn't think that I would need. The cast is an extremely wonderful talented array of women And Katherine H is unremarkably one of the best female actresses I've seen in a long time through the way she portrays Agatha being stone cold yet full of raw emotion just underneath that surface. It is something which really resonates with me.
It's better than the Acolyte in every way but nowhere near enough unfortunately.
* Plot: Very low stakes. Not much going on. Some of it doesn't even make sense and a lot of conflicting rules and information are introduced.
* Story: First episode is basically a waste of time until the last five minutes.
* Writing: Most of the writing isn't thoughtful or make sense. No character development yet. Dialog is clunky and l there are several lines that just feel inserted and have no explanation. I saw no subtext in this episode demonstrating how surface level this is. Everything feels very contrived and done without consideration of it being good. It feels like it's written by people used to writing Disney cartoons.
*Acting: Over-the-top and more so than normal. This could be on purpose but having only seen one episode it's too difficult to tell. But if it is done on purpose then the writing is bad for not explaining why.
* Pacing: It's mostly bad because the first episode is 30 minutes of nothing relevant followed by ten minutes of nonsensical stuff.
*Music is my favorite part *Special Effects: Decent quality for a show.
*Editing: Poor. Too many jarring cuts. Shots not put together well. At one point I felt like they gave up trying to edit well for a few scenes.

I loved the weird and creative WandaVision and so far this show is just as weird and wonderfully creative and different. I can't wait to see more of this show.
The cast is incredible too, including Kathryn Hahn, the legendary Patti Lapone, and Mary Jo Rupp. Joe Locke was and is wonderful in Heartstoppers. Bringing back Westview and the Salem Seven is cool.
Although in the comics Agatha Harkness isn't exactly as evil as these shows create, she was a tough cookie when training Wanda, the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers comics. At times even scary, but faithful to Reed and Sue Richard in the Fantast Four.
I look forward to Agatha getting her powers back and introducing Joe Lockes character (maybe her son? Nicholas Scratch?
I look forward to more episodes.

- 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.
