Thoughts after first two episodes:
I'm the guy who's been defending the MCU from all the hate. I'm the one amongst my group of (former MCU fan) friends who keeps telling them they're being unreasonable. That not everything has to be amazing. That it's okay to have a few misses here and there. That they still regularly put out high quality content. That even the bad ones aren't horrible.
And then there's Agatha All Along. A show I was immediately interested in because of my high view of Kathryn Hahn as an actress and my like for the character from Wandavision. But wow. Not only is it bad, I have literally zero interest in continuing. All I kept thinking is, "Who in their right mind thought people would want to watch this? Who thought this was good enough?"
I need to reiterate, this is coming from someone who automatically watches everything the MCU puts out. If you've lost me, you have a problem.
Thoughts after episodes 3 and 4:
I am in complete shock and awe at how terrible this is. I never imagined how much worse it could get. This is objectively bad. It's so predictable. The jokes make me cringe. And I spend large portions of the episodes with my jaw dropped and eyes wide. I honestly can't believe it.
Even worse, every problem introduced and every solution to those problems is simply "magic." It's zero clever and feels made up on the spot. Makes it impossible to get even a tiny bit invested.
