It's probably fair to say that Agatha All Along wasn't one of the more highly-anticipated MCU Disney+ shows 'round these parts.
The prospect of a WandaVision spin-off focusing on scene-stealing witch Agatha Harkness may have seemed like a more appealing idea a few years ago, but even then, a lot of fans wondered what the point of a series revolving around this character was when there are better-known and more popular Marvel Comics heroes and villains that have yet to be given the spotlight.
Even so, some fun, horror-tinged trailers and a strong cast earned a little more good will, and the first two episodes seem to have gone over pretty well with those willing to give them a chance.
Right now, Agatha Along sits at a so-so 69% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 55 reviews. Critics seem to be mixed, but we want to know what you think.

The new series focuses on Kathryn Hahn’s character, Agatha Harkness, from the acclaimed Marvel Studios’ series WandaVision, as she sets off on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer, who was the creative force behind WandaVision, directs the pilot episode.
"In Agatha All Along, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…"
