Agatha All Along is the latest MCU series spinning off from the hit show WandaVision. The series has changed its name so many times before the current one and we’re honestly surprised that it managed to stick to this one until the premiere. Be that as it may, the series finally premiered on Disney+ on September 18, 2024, with two episodes, while the remaining seven episodes will be released weekly until November 6, concluding the series.

The early reviews for the show promised us a fun and interesting experience and while we cannot deny that Agatha All Along is very intriguing, it is not the MCU’s best show, and that seems to be the general consensus among the critics. At the same time, the fans have embraced the show on their part.

Namely, based on the first critic and fan reactions, Agatha All Along is one of the poorest MCU shows in terms of critics ratings, but the audience ratings are quite good, as the fans seem to have embraced the show.

Agatha All Along premiered on September 18, 2024, with two episodes, and the initial reactions to the series are not as the early reviews predicted. Namely, the show did not start at the top of it all, but the ratings began to fall rapidly before stabilizing at around 70% of positive reviews. Currently, Agatha All Along has 69% positive reviews from critics and is one of the MCU’s worst-rated shows in that aspect. Here are some of the reactions:

The project mostly avoids feeling like one of those Marvel tales that exists solely to set up other Marvel tales. Unfortunately, it also stops short of feeling like a series that needs to exist for its own sake.

– Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter

It’s the rare Marvel project that feels justified not by its role in some yearslong master plan, but its own creative potential. Even in her diminished state, Agatha is still capable of some enchantment.

– Alison Herman, Variety

Agatha All Along slogs down its chosen path, with the coven squabbling and bonding through a series of frenetic but unexciting trials. The virtues of the theme of female empowerment are outweighed by the tired, generic story lines.

– Mike Hale, New York Times

Agatha All Along may take its title from a flashback, but everything else about the show (so far) suggests that there’s more than enough to mine when all you’ve got is all Agatha, all the time.

– David Fear, Rolling Stone

It’s so enjoyably executed that, as a member of the possibly-pandered-to demographic, I was too entertained to be offended.

– Judy Berman TIME

At the same time, the series has a solid 75% audience rating, which seems to imply that the fans have embraced the show’s quirkiness and are not bothered by the issues that the series has. This is definitely a bumpy beginning, but we will see how it all progresses as more episodes are made available.
