‘Agatha All Along’ premiered recently with its first two episodes, delivering exactly what fans who had been tracking the marketing expected. The show fully embraces its campy charm, seamlessly combining witchcraft, pop culture references, and humor.
With a solid beginning, it keeps viewers entertained and hooked, making it easy to stay invested and see if Agatha is headed for a Loki-style redemption arc.
The show surprisingly launched with a high audience score and received overwhelmingly positive reactions on social media, yet it faced criticism from reviewers in the first few hours after its release.
Initially, it garnered a solid 72% critics score, but this quickly dipped to as low as 65% before recovering. Currently, the critics score has risen to 78%, demonstrating a strong comeback, while the audience score stands at an impressive 80%.
Despite the show being aimed at a specific audience, there have been attempts to review-bomb it, particularly evident on its IMDb page. One of the most criticized aspects of the first two episodes was the song performed by the witches to access the Witches Road.
Available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube, the show is achieving record streaming numbers. However, not everyone has embraced its musical elements.
In response to the backlash, the community has rallied to defend the show and the song, sparking some engaging debates in the comments section.

You can call anything, regardless of quality, fun and suddenly it‘s approve reproach

I hate using the “you hate fun” line because it’s often used as a way to shield criticism, but there’s genuinely nothing wrong with this. It fits in narratively with how the world of witchcraft works and is so catchy. I don’t see why there’s an issue with this

I love Patti Lupone and Showtunes. I also get this is supposed to be witch chanting but this comes across like a throwaway Disney channel Halloween movie. There is a way to do the chanting without Disney-fying it to the umpteenth degree.
