“[‘Agatha All Along’] is the PERFECT show for the spooky season and filled with BIG WITCH ENERGY,” The Movie Podcast host Daniel Baptista said on X/Twitter. “Kathryn Hahn is iconic as ever and delivers a deliciously devious and spellbinding performance. Joe Locke is a scene stealer. This is the most fun you’ll have feasting on a show this year.”
“Kathryn Hahn is a force, camping it up as Agatha Harkness like we all knew she would,” Michael Patterson shared on X/Twitter. “The rest of the cast is also divine, and Joe Locke is a gem. Vivid, outlandish and brilliant.”
“Marvel has outdone themselves with [‘Agatha All Along’]!” says FanSided’s Cody Schultz. “It’s an absolutely bewitching follow-up to WandaVision with lots of fun Easter eggs along the way for fans Kathryn Hahn’s performance is perfection, Joe Locke is iconic & the full ensemble is spectacular. One of Marvel’s best!”
“If there was ever a character that deserved her own spin-off series, it’s Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn is better than ever, thriving as she takes center stage. As for Joe Locke, he is a total scene stealer and will no doubt become a new @Marvel fan favorite. #AgathaAllAlong 💜✨,” Sophia Soto said.
Screen Rant‘s Caitlin Tyrrell shared, “Magic is back in the #MCU with #AgathaAllAlong! Kathryn Hahn & Aubrey Plaza are phenomenal! Joe Locke is adorable. The mystery and witchy visuals are stunning, completely drawing you in. This is the perfect way to kick off the spooky season!”
Rob Keyes writes, “Watched the first 4 episodes of #AgathaAllAlong. It’s okay. After a fun start, it slows. It doesn’t take itself or its characters seriously and neither should audiences. Joe Locke’s mystery character is the only likeable one but has to play the Marvel mystery marketing gimmick instead of being developed. Too ABC vs. premium streaming content.”
“#AgathaAllAlong is wicked fun! Kathryn Hahn is brilliant, alongside with all other actresses! But, it’s #JoeLocke who captivating me all along!
The first 4 episodes were a little slow… I hope they picked up more.. and it has a Hocus Pocus vibe…” said Jana On Camera’s Jana N Nagase.
