Agatha All Along episode 1 and 2 released at once this week. The first people to review it sang its praises, save for a few butthurt internet fanboys who can’t stand the sight of women on their TV screens. I for one am very skeptical about the series if for no other reason then they are adapting The Witches Road which is a very prominent WANDA storyline. And as she is my favorite character, and has yet to have her own solo movie, it very much feels like a slap in the face to take one of her biggest comic book moments and give it to someone else. That said, the promise of a future Scarlet Witch project hangs in the air so I am excited to see how Agatha can help us get there.

Everything that made WandaVision brilliant is present in Agatha All Along episode 1. The ever present feeling that something more is happening. The main character is trying to remember something, like they can feel something is off. The structure of the character’s life being presented as a television show. The creepiness and mystery. All things that show that the creators and writers understand and care about the characters. I am already invested and very sad that there are only 8 episodes of this show. But I am so ready for what is going to come next. Jac Shaeffer once again proves that she should be the only person in charge of the witchy women of the MCU.
