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.

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 am saddened by the people downvoting this show simply because of a character's sexual orientation. It's not even the highlight of the show; it is just referenced.

Anyway, judging by the duel-episode premier, the show is enticing. It's a bit goofy with its humor, but what Marvel project hasn't dipped into that silliness? The vibes of the show are perfect for the Halloween season. I am excited for the continued expansion of magical beings in the MCU.

My only concern would be whether or not the teased surprises in store will actually be surprising, but this is a general worry due to past MCU Disney shows. They just don't seem to stick the landing, but--damn--does this one have a promising start.

I am having a good time so far. Hahn, Plaza, and LuPone seem to be enjoying themselves, as well! While it may not be as serious and heavy as Falcon and the Winter Solider, it certainly is miles ahead of She-Hulk's absurdity for the sake of absurdity.

I am in love with show! Every episode keeps you interested by having new mysteries to solve. The acting, the writing, and just the feel of the show are all excellent.

The first episode shows us how Agatha has been living since she was left in Westview. The show starts off with an interesting premise and really hits the ground running. The next few episodes get better and better as she regains her memories starts off on a dangerous new adventure.

This is the show that I have been waiting for! Definitely give this show a watch if you like the MCU or witches.

I definitely recommend watching WandaVision before watching, since the show takes place shortly after that.

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.

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!

I thought it started off very well so far. People always right woman lead shows very low for some reason. It needs to stop. Give shows a chance or don't watch them at all. I think the show has good potential to be very good at the end. I really like how they set up the first episode in the series, it really reminded me of WandaVision. I also like the outro and how it pays homage to all of the witches and modern media. It was so surprising to see, and I loved it so much. I also think I'm going to like the mystery of it all and so excited to see where it ends up. Please give this show a chance for you rate them.

***Update: One of the best Marvel shows ever written. It is so complex and In couldn't wait to watch each wednesday. Marvel please make more shows as complex as this one with GREAT writers. This is the direction that Marvel needs to head in. Jac Schaffer I LOVE YOU.

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.

I think my biggest struggle was with my expectations. I expected a darker vibe and sharper humour, but this seems more as a Disney original show than a MCU universe.

I feel 0 suspense, everything so far seems to be fitting in the regular TV show narratives. Unlike in Wandavision and Loki where I had no idea what would happen, here the majority of the episode is faiy predictable. We might not know the real plot still, the dialogues and the actor's reactions are seen many times before. As someone here said, it's a Hocus Pocus TV show. And that's cute, but lack the edge.

The acting is aligned with the dialogue - equally stiff and unnatural, but worthy of a Disney magic-y comedy show for teens.

This series starts at the end of the "WandaVision." It begins as a cop investigation thriller, but after a surprise is revealed, Agatha realizes something important, and the series really picks up from there. The writers did a decent job with the witches' roles and tasks, although it wasn't perfect.

There are two main characters: Agatha and a teenager. Both have clear character arcs, which helps the story, but it doesn't reach a really high point. The first to the eighth episodes have a similar feel, and by the end of the ninth episode, everything comes together and explains why things happened the way they did.

Overall, there are nine episodes, and each one is good. Personally, I think it's an okay series.

While it's a different beast than WandaVision, it's an excellent second chapter. A lot of things feel more refined and deliberate with this.

Mysteries are revealed before they overstay their welcome, and the reveals, while not hard to figure out, do feel earned. Similarly, the emotional tugs feel like they've done the work to get you crying (which they did for me several times in the final 3 episodes).

*Not to say WandaVision didn't earn its emotional moments- I cried constantly during some episodes*

The song that ripples through the whole series is an ear worm, and the various versions each add something to it- to say nothing of its importance in the final episodes.

For Marvel fans, I'd say this- yes, it rewrites some of the lore but in interesting ways and with very open ends to pull it back in without retconning constantly (a particular bit in the finale had me scratching my head but, I have full faith that whatever Jac is producing will produce something bloody beautiful).

If the team do this well with FF (a notoriously difficult property) we're in good hands. So Marvel, please, give Jac Schaeffer whatever she wants! 😂

Agatha All Along is perfect for Halloween.

If you like shows like WandaVision, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story this series is for you.

Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are the best actresses in the show, although Joe Locke could hold his own for a second role. Patti LuPone is a legend and that's enough for that.

I think the sets are perfect and I LOVE that the visual effects are practical, with little green screen or CGI.

I hope people give it a chance. I think this is a series, it's a series like few others. And it's good to have new content for this time of year, and also that it's for a more mature audience.

Big fan of Marvel here. I watched Wandavision with my brother when it came out and I thought that show was really good at parts. The dynamics between Kathryn Hahn and Elizabeth Olsen worked great and those two really sold the show. Yet one of the most exciting aspects was the reveal of Agatha as the witch with the excellent musical jingle "Agatha All Along" inspiring a massive TikTok craze emulating the fun of that reveal.

I was hoping for this show to capture that essence. I would describe that essence as light-hearted fun with a villain that is supernatural yet very practical and easy to root for. Enter Kathryn Hahn who achieved that in Wandavision. Everyone had fun. Her being in the same house on the set as the show Bewitched (1969) and the celebration of American sitcoms in Wandavision was wonderful nostalgia for better times. The concept of a Disney witch that is fun and lighthearted and that celebrates our American history and pop culture was kinda what I was hoping for.

The first two episodes were okay and the participation of Debra Jo Rupp had me so excited! Then the show kinda left the whole Americana setting for a set (witches road) that was aesthetically unpleasant to watch and the tenor of Agatha and the show became more dramatic and tragic even. The pacing was slow and the dialogue and motivations that the actors were given didn't really lend itself to allow for very moving drama.

When I was younger I saw Flash Gordon (1980) and enjoyed the movie as everyone in the cast played their roles tongue-in-cheek which made the movie fun..except for Sam jones who seemed to be trying for an Oscar in this role. But it didn't fit with the cast and tenor of the role and movie.

The cast in Agatha All Along was good but I struggled with the show not being a microcosm of what made her character in Wandavision so appealing to general audiences.

Never had a show hit me with so many raw emotions like this did. I absolutely adore it. Agatha is a perfect example of an antagonist you want to root for. Abused, cast out and heartbroken and just trying to survive in a world committed to hating her. She may be the "bad guy" in most situations but she was never born a bad person. People made her that way. Soundtracking was absolutely amazing, plot line keeps you on your toes and characters so loveable in their own ways. I don't hate a single character in this show, even when they're put against each other. Definitely recommend watching twice to get every detail. The story is so woven you miss things that were obvious when you understand who everyone is. This show is like crack for my autism which loves to dissect shows that don't necessarily have as many clues and hints. Single lines changed between soundtrack and show versions of the songs that make all the difference and stand out on a rewatch. Emotions hit harder. Everything is said with meaning and purpose when you understand the whole picture. Love all our queens and joe who pulled this together to be such a beautiful story.

Watched the first 2 episodes and i thought wow this SUCKS. Only continued because i was forced to. Some episodes i was praying for them to end. Then i finished episode 5. Now THAT'S who agatha is. The last 4 episodes were hocus pocus, disney crap, overdramatic threatre acting. But it all makes sense now. They somehow justified it. Even going so far as to justify how bad episode 1 was by episode 6, making it go from bad to actually hilarious. But what made me write this review was episode 7. It was so good. The puzzle pieces fit now. And watching this while it was being released is even better because the theories, man the theories. Some mysteries were obvious like who teen actually is, and they were correctly guessed pretty early on. Other mysteries like the one in episode 7, as far as i know nobody solved it before the episode came out. THE TOWER IS SPLIT.

I had the opportunity to watch the first 4 episodes and I can only say that the same vibes as WandaVision are here in Agatha All Along.

The series proves to be very mysterious initially, but when everything starts to be revealed that's when the fun, horror and all the wicked elements start to come.

The performances of Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza and Patti LuPone stand out extremely positively, but Kathryn Hahn elevates this show by proving why she deserved to be nominated for an Emmy with this character in WandaVision (and I won't be surprised if she succeeds another Emmy next year).

The production design, wardrobe and practical visual effects are glorious - perfect for this Halloween season.

I advise everyone who loves an excellent series about witches to watch this series - Marvel has never done anything like it and that's why this show is so perfect. Can't wait for more!

Marvel comes with another attempt of making a successfull tv show after some big mistakes like She Hulk. This one, as the other, has a lot of problems, specially if you are a classical comic book fan. As one I felt betrayed in so many ways, but I am not going to comment on the differences between traditional comics history and the show to avoid spoilers. What bothers me the most is that mindset on Marvels producers to make content that has two characteristics: change characters personifications/history to create some sort of mistery and (through the need of been inclusive) portrait masculinity as a bad thing. This is the second show that portraits all male characters as been weak, stupid or gay. I simply dont get it. Probably it can catch the eye of new audiences as it loses the old ones.

I was so enthused by Agatha All Along when it first started - eagerly looking forward to the next episode. I loved the cast, and the premise. It had style and wit, a little bit of camp and interesting, stunt casting.

But the show has gotten progressively sillier, more broad and all over the place - and has finally jumped the shark by episode 5.

I get that it's geared to a gay, camp sensibility - (and I am gay) - but it has aimed lower and lower to the lowest-hanging fruit of wit and humor.

After the 5th episode, I've given it a hard pass. Too bad. It's always a (rare) treat to see Patti Lupone.

I have been a huge marvel fan my entire life, starting with comic books and then the MCU. My girlfriend and I really liked Wandavision and Loki series and I truly feel that Agatha All Along has the same quality filmmaking, writing, and acting as those series. I think the spooky-witch vibes were captured in a fresh and unique way. I really am enjoying the show so far and there is a good level of intrigue and mystery. I feel like most of the negative reviews for this show simply come from bitter people who are Anti-women and anti-marvel. I think this is a great addition for the MCU and I am happy Marvel brought it to life.

This fun spinoff of WandaVision isn't quite as out there, but it's clever, imaginative, and often quite funny, with an excellent cast.

The basic story involves Agatha trying to regain her powers, which involves getting a coven together with the intent of walking the "witch's road" with the goal of getting one's heart's desire - if you can make it through various eccentric challenges.

Kathryn Hahn is excellent in her reprisal of Agatha, who winds up with a coven of witches who don't really like or trust her - unsurprising, considering what we know of her from WandaVision.

There are some notable twists, and I thought they were good, even ones that have got some criticism from others. Unfortunately the very end didn't work for me, which was a let down, but overall it was an excellent experience that I wholeheartedly recomment.

It's curious-and a bit suspicious-that almost every review of Agatha All Along is glowing, overflowing with praise and oddly absent of any real criticism. It's as if negative reviews are being swept under the rug. While other outlets may be calling this the "best Marvel series yet," my take is vastly different. Agatha All Along is plagued by a lack of direction, flat characters, and an uninspired plot, ultimately leaving it feeling like a hollow attempt at storytelling.

Unnecessary Focus on Gender Politics One of the show's biggest missteps is its focus on gender politics. Marvel is known for creating diverse characters without compromising on plot or pacing, yet here, the messaging feels front and center in a way that detracts from the story. The emphasis on Agatha's identity and gender themes feels unnecessary, taking away from what should have been an exciting journey into the darker, supernatural side of the MCU. There's little reason for gender commentary to be so pervasive in a Marvel show-it detracts from the magic, suspense, and thrill we've come to expect.

This misguided approach also echoes some of the same issues that plagued She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Marvel has struggled to create compelling female leads who resonate with audiences, and it shows. Both Agatha and She-Hulk seem more concerned with proving a point than with building fully developed, complex characters. Marvel's attempt to push strong female-led series feels so forced that it risks becoming alienating. Marvel would do better to craft these characters with depth and subtlety rather than simply using them to promote shallow themes.

Bland Characters and Weak Storytelling What's particularly disappointing in Agatha All Along is the wasted potential of its lead character. Agatha Harkness was a standout in WandaVision, blending humor and menace seamlessly. But here, she feels reduced to a one-dimensional version of herself, bogged down by weak dialogue and uninspired motivations. The supporting characters fare no better-each of them feels like a hastily written stereotype rather than a real character with unique backstory and goals.

In trying to build a supernatural world, the show also introduces other magical characters, but they come across as bland and forgettable. They lack the depth needed to make the magical aspect feel immersive, and their shallow characterization makes it difficult to care about their arcs. As a result, rather than feeling like a dive into the mystical side of the MCU, it all feels flat and predictable.

Slow, Uneventful Plot Perhaps the biggest flaw of Agatha All Along is its lackluster plot. The pacing drags, and episodes feel like filler rather than significant pieces of an unfolding mystery. Instead of leaning into suspense, the storyline plods along with predictable twists and underwhelming scenes. The show squanders its potential for suspense or magical intrigue, leaving viewers with little to stay engaged. It's surprising that this series, which centers on a character as dark and complex as Agatha, ends up feeling so bland and routine.

In the end, Agatha All Along feels like another missed opportunity for Marvel. It's a show that seems to be praised universally despite obvious issues with its focus and storytelling-a sign that perhaps criticism is being actively avoided. For fans who were hoping for a rich exploration of Agatha's character and her magic, this series falls far short. If Marvel continues to prioritize empty messaging over compelling narratives, they may find that audiences start tuning out, leaving their attempts at strong female leads to feel more like a hollow trend than a meaningful direction.
