With the help of a teen goth (Joe Locke) she sets out to create a new coven of witches, with Hahn and Locke both earning much praise.
CineGeekNews’ Rayyan said, ‘#AgathaAllAlong is a crazy, wicked, fun, mystery filled journey that also has some actually terrifying scares. Wasn’t too excited, but became a total fan after watching. Compared to other Disney+ shows, It actually feels like TV in both writing and pacing. Can’t wait for more!’
The Movie Podcast’s Daniel Baptista said, ‘#AgathaAllAlong is the PERFECT show for the spooky season and filled with BIG WITCH ENERGY. Kathryn Hahn is iconic as ever and delivers a deliciously devious and spellbinding performance. Joe Locke is a scene stealer. This is the most fun you’ll have feasting on a show this year.’
Freelance writer Sophia Soto said, ‘If there was ever a character that deserved her own spin-off series, it’s Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn is better than ever, thriving as she takes center stage. As for Joe Locke, he is a total scene stealer and will no doubt become a new fan favorite.’
Bam Smack Pow’s Michael Patterson said, ‘Agatha All Along is absolutely batsh*t crazy in all the right kinds of ways. Kathryn Hahn is a force, camping it up as Agatha Harkness like we all knew she would. The rest of the cast is also divine, and Joe Locke is a gem. Vivid, outlandish and brilliant.’
ScreenRant’s Caitlyn Tyrrell said, ‘Magic is back in the #MCU with #AgathaAllAlong. Kathryn Hahn & Aubrey Plaza are phenomenal! Joe Locke is adorable. The mystery and witchy visuals are stunning, completely drawing you in. This is the perfect way to kick off the spooky season!’
GeekCentric’s Justin Lawrence said, ‘After four eps of #AgathaAllAlong, it’s clear this #WandaVision spin-off keeps the mystery alive casting a new BEWITCHING spell. Kathryn Hahn is PERFECTION, embracing every wicked moment. The musical elements don’t just enhance—they ENCHANT. This is the MAGIC the #MCU needs.’
IGN’s Amelia Emberwing said, ‘I had a lot of concerns heading into #AgathaAllAlong, but I am thrilled to report that this witch has quite enjoyed what she’s seen so far. I’m having a ton of fun theorizing already, and I really hope it sticks the landing!’

Mama Geeky’s Jana N Nagase admitted the show was somewhat slow, stating, ‘#AgathaAllAlong is wicked fun! Kathryn Hahn is brilliant, alongside with all other actresses! But, it’s #JoeLocke who captivating me all along! The first 4 episodes were a little slow… I hope they picked up more.. and it has a Hocus Pocus vibe…’
Denis of La Oficina Geek wasn’t as positive, stating, ‘Watched the first four episodes of #AgathaAllAlong. The series mixes elements like drama, horror, and comedy, but seems unsure of what it wants to be. That said, when it dives into horror, that’s when it truly shines! Kathryn Hahn is fantastic as Agatha, and her character development is a strong point. We’ll have to wait until the end to see if it gets better. By the way, I loved the animation of the #MarvelTelevision logo.’
Agents of Fandom’s TJ Zwarych said, ‘The first 4 eps of #AgathaAllAlong are some of the best episodes Marvel Television has ever produced. I’m absolutely HOOKED by the mystery aspects of the show and the entire cast knocks it out of the park. Kathryn Hahn is top tier, Joe Lock rocks, Aubrey Plaza steals the show’
