(episode review) - Agatha All Along - Episode 3

 

I feel like this episode was a little shorter than last week but to be fair, I did watch two episodes back to back. 'Agatha All Along' is shaping out to be a really well-put-together TV show from Marvel in a while. Weirdly, I believe the original slate of TV shows for the MCTVU (Marvel Cinematic TV Universe? - I don't know) was meant to be 'Loki', 'Falcon And The Winter Soldier' and then 'WandaVision' (If memory serves me accurately) and due to the world's pandemic problem and the shift (Disney felt they needed) in the storytelling for 'FATWS', 'WandaVision' ended up being the first show out of the gate and while the premise seemed a little weird, kooky and out of place for the MCU, the execution was superb. The acting was great, the story was great and it gave us Agatha, a twisted witch trying to take all of Wanda's powers. Agatha All Along doubles down on what came before and with mastery.

This episode picks up where we left off at the end of episode 2 and the witches are now on the Witches' Road where they will be tested. They find themselves inside a house with a puzzle they will need to solve before the time runs out or they will all die! A slight spoiler, but this was such an excellent episode. If I am honest, I am sold on the mischievously evil character of Agatha and how Katherine Harn sells the character to us. You want to follow her but you cannot trust her and in the episode, this is alluded to several times. There were a few times I actually burst out laughing due to things Agatha and Sharon said or did. I actually feel like Sharon stole the episode and has done since the beginning of the series. We still do not know who the Teen is, but we do get a bit more insight into these characters. As the plot thickens, it will be interesting to see where this show goes especially as "chaos" ensues.
