Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness in Agatha All Along

The first reactions for Agatha All Along have arrived – and it’s safe to say, critics are loving the supernatural spin-off.

The new Marvel series, which serves as a follow-up to WandaVision, sees Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) escape the suburban town of Westview with the help of a goth teen (Joe Locke), who wishes to face the trials of the legendary Witches' Road. The cast includes Sasheer Zamata as Jennifer Kale, Ali Ahn as Alice Wu, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Debra Jo Rupp as Sharon Davis, Patti LuPone as Lilia Calderu, and Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal. Jac Schaeffer, the creator of WandaVision, serves as showrunner.

GamesRadar+’s Amy Westthought the first few episodes were a real “treat”, stating: “Won’t gush toooo much here as I’m doing a full review (keep your third eyes peeled), but it should come as no surprise to anyone that, four eps in, I am utterly obsessed with Agatha All Along.”

“I have to say this is already my FAVORITE Marvel series next to WandaVision… and might be even better! Witchy, smart, hilarious, and surprisingly dark! This was truly made for me,” gushesdigital content creator Patrick Dougall.

“The first 4 episodes of #AgathaAllAlong strikes a balance between having fun doing its own thing and using witchcraft & the occult as a vehicle to haunt. The needle drops are fitting, and the original songs are perfect for a Halloween playlist. Can’t wait to see the rest of it,” writesThe Nerds of Color’s Michael Lee.

GeekCentric’s Justin Lawrencewas just as much of a fan, tweeting: “After four eps of Agatha All Along, it’s clear this WandaVision spin-off keeps the mystery alive casting a new BEWITCHING spell. Kathryn Hahn is PERFECTION, embracing every wicked moment. The musical elements don’t just enhance—they ENCHANT. This is the MAGIC the#MCUneeds.”

“Agatha All Along is a delight. The first four episodes are kooky, legitimately funny, and surprising on a comics/MCU level. Dynamite performances across the board. I can’t wait to see more. Unsurprisingly, the show works best when the entire coven is together,” saysComicBook’s Jenna Anderson.
