But halfway through its run, *WandaVision* abandoned its unique format and evolved into something more familiar to Marvel fans – essentially becoming another big-screen superhero movie squeezed into TV episodes. This shift caused *WandaVision* to lose some of its magic and storytelling potential, leaving many fans feeling like the show didn’t quite stick the landing. That's where *Agatha All Along* comes in and completely flips the script. By leaning into the television medium and crafting episodes that stand alone as engaging, self-contained stories, the series builds on the strengths of *WandaVision* while sidestepping its pitfalls. Each episode is an experience unto itself, drawing from different genres and styles to tell unique stories that also contribute to the overarching narrative of Agatha Harkness as a character. The result is a show that doesn’t just feel like a chapter in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe but thrives as a complete, well-crafted TV series in its own right. What makes *Agatha All Along* such a standout is how it bucks the MCU's long-standing struggle with making good television. Historically, Marvel’s foray into TV has often felt like the extended build-up or filler for the next movie – a pitfall that comes from writing stories that fit more neatly into a blockbuster structure rather than episodic TV arcs. However, *Agatha* breaks away from this trend by leaning into its medium, allowing episodes to shine individually while building toward a cohesive, larger narrative. Jac Schaeffer, the mastermind behind the series, takes what worked best about *WandaVision* – its playfulness with genres, its willingness to explore character, and its love for television storytelling – and doubles down on those strengths to make *Agatha All Along* something truly special. Whether you loved or hated *WandaVision*, you won’t want to miss this breakdown of Agatha All Along as Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Agatha All Along review and explains why Agatha All Along is so good, how Agatha All Along perfects Marvel television, why Agatha All Along is great, why WandaVision is bad, and more.
