Agatha All Along
After WandaVision, it was clear that Agatha Harkness had stolen more than a few scenes. So it's no surprise Marvel decided to give her her own show. What's unexpected is that instead of playing it safe, they went for a rather quirky mix of witchy homage, dark comedy, and full-blown fantasy.
Kathryn Hahn is once again fantastic. She has a magnetic presence and you can tell she's having a blast-whether she's casting spells, singing, or throwing out sarcastic one-liners. She holds the whole thing together, especially when the show gets a little lost, which happens more often than it should. Because yes, Agatha, Who Else? Is fun, but also a bit all over the place.
Visually, it's a treat, with stylish production design and a look that fits perfectly for a Halloween binge. The lighter tone and self-awareness are also refreshing-something that's been missing from a lot of recent MCU entries. There are songs, witches with real personality, and some scenes that feel straight out of a supernatural musical. It's not for everyone, but if you're on board with the vibe, you'll enjoy the ride.
Its biggest issue might be that it doesn't quite know what it wants to be. A comedy? A dark fairy tale? A stepping stone for Marvel's next big thing? It tries a bit of everything without fully diving into any one path. Still, it keeps your attention with enough mystery and that constant feeling of "what weird thing will they do next?"
It's not essential MCU viewing, but Agatha, Who Else? Brings something different to the table-with personality, flair, and some genuinely good moments. It's not perfect, but it's fun, strange, and very much its own thing. And with Hahn leading the way, you can count on the magic being there.
