Chronology
Bewitched Agatha Harkness regains her freedom thanks to the help of a teenager. Intrigued by his request, she sets off on the Witches' Road trials to regain her strength and discover the motivation of the teenage girl. Stars Kathryn Khan, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Debra Jo Rupp and Ali Ann, along with showrunner Jack Schaefer and executive producer Mary Livanos, share how they prepared for the Marvel show. Westview’s exterior scenes were filmed on Blondie Street at Warner Bros.
The set was previously used for Wandavision
Agatha lives in the house used in the TV series Bewitched (1964). Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Most Shocking Reveals of the Day on Disney Plus (2021). I went into Agatha All Along without any preconceived notions or having looked into the backstory. So, it wasn’t until I was deep inside watching Episode 6 (?) that I realized there was a connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe – specifically WandaVision.
I felt cheated and annoyed
Well, after I got engaged to Agatha All Along, I put it on pause and had to watch WandaVission. While WandaVision has some critical element as a prequel to Agatha All Along, it’s pretty tangential (and – IMO – a much weaker show than Agatha All Along). Well I finished E6 then dove into E7-E9 and I really have to give credit to the show. The acting is superb throughout, with Hahn as Agatha a standout.
And it doesn’t unduly detract from the show as a whole
The sets have an unusual, original perspective as the show moves along. Mostly the trials the characters go through and their growth is well done. The show maintains an engaging storyline for adults, without the usual sugarcoating where everyone turns out okay in the end. While I don’t think the connection to the MCU was necessary, it is what it is.
I’d probably watch a second season if it panned out
