‘Agatha All Along’s Score Is Slowly Rising as the Series Gets a “Certified Fresh” Rating
Agatha All Along is the most recent MCU series, a spinoff from the hit series WandaVision. The show had a lot of name changes prior to this one, so we’re really shocked that it stuck with this one through the broadcast. The series debuted on Disney+ on September 18, 2024, with two episodes, and the seven remaining episodes will be released every week until November 6, when the series will come to an end.
The show’s early reviews promised us an enjoyable and engaging experience, and although Agatha All Along is undoubtedly fascinating, the early critics’ reviews were lower than expected; conversely, the fans liked the show and are praising it.
While we have initially reported that the series is not doing well with the critics, the numbers are increasing as we speak, and we are happy to confirm that Agatha All Along has been awarded a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a 78% critics’ score, a 10% increase since yesterday.
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, as we reported yesterday, the initial ratings began to fall rapidly before stabilizing at around 70% of positive reviews.
At the time, the series had a mere 69% positive ratings, but the numbers have been steadily increasing since yesterday and it is now at 78%, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the series a “Certified Fresh” rating. Here’s what the critics are saying now:
A charming concoction of snappy humour, strong performances and enchanting nostalgia that makes for perfect pre-Halloween viewing. Kathryn Hahn’s sheer magnetism alone will have you spellbound.
– Sophie Butcher, EMPIRE
Although it remains indubitably Hahn’s show — you can’t take your eyes off her as she constantly edges up against scenery-chewing without ever going too far — she is surrounded by excellence.
– Lucy Mangan, Guardian
It’s all cleverly done and very funny but also suspenseful and a little scary, with a winning combination of the supernatural and the banal.
– Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times
The show’s execution could be stronger. But there’s a lot of power — and even joy — to be found in watching Agatha tear into the world, like the witch she is.
– Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence
A spooky storyline, stellar acting, and a dash of comedic charm: Agatha All Along is here, just in time for autumn.
– Deeya Sonalkar, London Evening Standard
On top of that, the audience score is also around 80%, seeing an increase as well, so we can – more or less, as it is still a bit too early – confirm that Disney and Marvel have another hit series and that the story revolving magic that the MCU is exploring is doing great.
