AGATHA ALL ALONG Social Media Reactions Point To A Slow Start For An Overall Spellbinding New MCU TV Series

The social media embargo for Agatha All Along has lifted following yesterday evening's premiere and while it sounds like the series gets off to a slow start, the response is so far extremely positive...

The social media embargo for Agatha All Along lifted a few hours ago and we now have a roundup of verdicts from critics who were fortunate enough to see four of the eight episodes in advance (check back here tomorrow night for our full review).

As you can see, the overall consensus is extremely positive; however, the majority seem to agree that the WandaVision follow-up gets off to a slow start and perhaps tries a little too hard to generate fan theories. 

The cast and queer themes receive a fair bit of praise and some are, as you might expect, calling Agatha All Along one of the best and most unique Marvel Television projects to date. 

We'll see what tale that all-important Rotten Tomatoes score tells, but those of you who have had your doubts about the series can now put your minds at rest if these early verdicts are any indication of what's in store for us in the coming weeks. 

Check out a sampling of the Agatha All Along social media reactions in the X posts below.

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. 

The series stars Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili, with Debra Jo Rupp, with Patti LuPone, and Aubrey Plaza.

The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos and Jac Schaeffer, who is also the head writer and directed three episodes. Rachel Goldberg and Gandja Monteiro each direct three episodes of the original live-action series.

Agatha All Along premieres on September 18 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, with the first two episodes, exclusively on Disney+.

I still question if this series needed to be made in the first place.

@fanboy03191 - they greenlit it off the back of a song that was popular for about 3 days 3 years ago. It’s the pinnacle of scraping the barrel

@fanboy03191 - according to the reactions, it’s overwhelmingly positive. So there’s the justification.

@fanboy03191 - How come this question only comes up on Marvel, DC or Star Wars shows? Does anything really "need" to get made? Sometimes you strike gold on something offbeat despite what we as fans might want. If the show turns out to be really good then it needed to be made. So many things need to come together to make a good TV show that at the end of the day its a crapshoot if it works or not. Who cares if it "needed" to be made or not. There are plenty of other shows to watch for those that dont want to watch this type show.

Wait... If you don't watch it, you won't get your required amount of Disney gay crammed down your throat. Then you won't believe that 3/4 of the population is 75% LBTGQR2D2 when it's really a very small percentage and that there are 52 genders.

How can you want to miss out on that????

@DocSpock - Only 52?

You're so out of touch. The number is growing...

DAMMIT!! Counting to 52 was already pushing my limits.

@DocSpock - "you won't get your required amount of Disney gay crammed down your throat". But the inside out2/xmen article says Disney says less gay?

I DON'T KNOW WHICH NARRATIVE TO BELIEVE!

@DocSpock - It's ok...it's ok. think about 'Beer Bottles on that Wall' and we'll get through this. We will overcome that wall of elementary mathematics. WE WILL OVERCOME!

I believe in normal people and swilling tequila. If that makes me bad, so be it.

I'm pretty sure tequila is making me smarter in my old age though.

@DocSpock - You can easily tell MY old age as I referenced a [frick]ing Prince song from 30 years ago!

I used to have it on cassette. Simpler times.

In the late 60s, I was buying Beatles & Stones albums on a new thing called 8 track.

@DocSpock - You've beat me there. My first RECORD was Pinky & Perky on a rubber disc (own Pocket Money)...yeah...born in 1981 in the UK. And it was a hit, Bitch! When my parents divorced in the early 90s I kept and listened, to all my Dad's LPs back in the old house that were; Stones, Bowie, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Steve Winwood, Stevie Nicks, The Bangles...probably more.


Think my first album cassette (purchased) was Michael Jackson 'Bad'. Well, oops, we all know what happened to him being bad :-(

I don't think 8 track ever was a thing over here in the UK. I've heard it being mocked in American TV & Film that it was a failed concept. Laser Disc, multiple games consoles etc. There are benefits to age that we can laugh back, with retrospect. I regret NOTHING! The 'Man' I am today is built by bad choices...and ice-cream.

Soooo...

Don't watch it until more episodes drop?

Got it. 😁

We'll see how this works out for Disney. I held the same policy for the Acolyte (and look how that turned out lol)

@xfan320 - Do think it is likely to be better in some ways to wait till Halloween itself to binge the show...


...but depends if into all the online theorizing and such like we had with WandaVision, which was also slow to start and on a number of levels only realy got going after episode three. For some the talking about a show between episodes can be a bigger thing than the show itself and even if it didn't work for the Acolyte it has worked very well for many, many other shows with a mystery element.

Sucker for Halloween so would have been interested in this even if it wasn't Marvel but completely get why it wouldn't be to everyones tastes.

Good to hear the mostly positive reactions thus far from the critics for the first 4 (out of 9) episodes so hopefully that continues , if not gets even better!!.

I don’t mind a slow start especially since it has a mystery element to it which helps build that aswell as amps up speculation & theories though hopefully it doesn’t get as crazy as WV did lol.

I’m sure some of the comments from certain critics on there are gonna have the manbabies on here flip a lid but oh well , sucks for them…

Anyway , I’m looking forward to the show since it seems fun!!.

@SATW42 -

As much as I too want to see that crowd cry their guts out (literally, if possible), inviting such conflict via flexing and gloating like that is not preferrable unless one is absolutely certain, and I'm talking greater than 100% here, that the end product will undoubtedly deliver and surpass expectations.

In other words, we should troll the trolls only when we can afford to. Otherwise we end up looking like trolls ourselves.
