Agatha All Along Recap: Mommy Issues
It’s both correct and a little surprising that this show really isn’t playing with the life-and-death stakes.
Kathryn Hahn exaggerates her Mrs. Hart impression — “there I was living my tiny life in the ’burbs, baking casseroles, linking in to conspiracy theories on Facebook, drinking before noon….” — just enough that it’s obvious Agatha’s full of shit, but that’s pretty much the last moment of levity we get all episode, so we’ll cherish it nonetheless. Though the script makes a couple stabs at keeping the banter alive (“Stop embarrassing me in front of my friends, Mom!”), the episode takes an inescapably dire turn from here. With the episode clocking in at just 24 minutes, the shortest run-time of the series so far, “Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power” doesn’t allow much of a mourning period for Alice — who, like Mrs. Sharon Davis Hart, deserved better.
