Streaming Standard: Agatha All Along (Episodes 1 & 2)

 From a Song that inexplicably won an Award to a spin-off of the first real MCU 'TV' Show.

After a long wait, we're here, so let's dive right in...

A quick recap, since it has been a while...

In WandaVision, the Scarlet Witch was tricked into using her powers to control Westview to escape reality.

The woman behind it was Agatha Harkness, an evil Witch who just wanted her powers.

It all backfired and she was trapped in the fake TV World, while the Town was freed.

The Episode goes full Mare of Eastown, with Agatha as Agnes (her fake identity in the Show earlier) trying to solve a murder.

Of course, we know it isn't real, so they don't draw it out too long.

She keeps finding hints that things are wrong and this is pushed by an 'FBI Agent' played by Aubrey Plaza.

She 'tears her way out' and has an awkward catch-up with her Neighbor.

She realizes that she's powerless and now she's being targeted for her, well, Centuries of misdeeds.

Aubrey is back as a Witch who wants her dead, giving her until sundown to prepare.  How sporting.

She has to assemble a Coven...as a Witch famous for betraying a Coven.

Can she succeed?
Well, there's a bunch more Episodes to go...

A good start to a Show that sure had to be a hard pitch.

Remember that Show about Wanda?  Well, what if the bad guy got a Show too?

Thankfully, you're pitching a Show with Kathryn Hahn, so that does make things easier.  Once they got Plaza on board, that surely helped too.

She's great- duh.

The Plot is certainly alot to get through right away.  I can see how it might throw some people off.

It is introducing a bunch of new Characters and setting up a new status quo.

Knowing how the last Dr. Strange Film ended is key too.

That said, the Show is fun, has some really interesting ideas and seems to be building up to some neat situations.

It may not be for everyone, but, if that's the case, wait and see how it plays out when it wraps up.

After all, there's a long Road ahead.

If you liked WandaVision, this is a must-see.  It's still early, but I like what we've gotten so far.
