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.

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.

Agatha All Along is a fun addition to the spooky season, but it suffers from some critical shortcomings that keep it from greatness.

I love witches and witchy stories so I was thrilled for another outing into the occult side of the MCU. However, when I started watching the show I found myself somewhat disappointed, though also somewhat entertained as the story progressed with good moments pocked with a few flaws.

The main downsides to the show are its frequently poor dialogue and corny storytelling, nevertheless after one masterful episode and a truly compelling twist I was almost convinced that this was not a mediocre MCU project, it was good maybe even great. Almost. At this point I wanted it to be great, but ultimately the unsatisfying ending dragged it back down from greatness to just being pretty good.

This limited series, a sequel to WandaVision, follows Agatha, still trapped in Westview and stripped of her powers. Her situation changes when a mysterious teenager frees her, and together they embark on a quest along the Witch's Road, a mythical path said to grant travelers their greatest desire-in Agatha's case, the restoration of her powers. To navigate the trials of the road, they must assemble a coven representing the five witch specialties: Earth (green magic), Water (potion magic), Fire (protection magic), Air (divination magic), and Spirit. As they journey through the road's trials, tensions arise within the group, with secrets and hidden motives threatening their success, and they soon discover that nothing on the Witch's Road is as it seems. Overall, due to clever pop-culture references to classic horror and witch-themed features, chilling moments of genuine terror, a remarkable ensemble cast, -especially Hahn's electrifying performance as the titular character- and wicked dark humor, this show was really good, and although, I wish we had received more background lore and character development for some of the other coven members, I still thoroughly enjoyed my time with this series and thought that It served as a fantastic medium to further explore Agatha's character and is a strong addition to Marvel's comeback era, where quality is clearly being prioritized over quantity, and with its much more mature tone and language, the show reflects an MCU that has grown with its audience and paves the way for future projects, add to that some brilliant foreshadowing, jaw-dropping twists, and an insanely catchy song that refuses to leave my head, and this mini series has undoubtedly left a lasting impression and has quickly become one of my favorite Marvel Disney+ shows.

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.
