Which Witches Are Bringing the Most to Agatha All Along’s Coven?
Acting-wise, not magic-wise.
In Agatha ’s case, we get Hahn’s intentionally terrible Mare of Easttown Pennsylvania accent and an international-licensing joke that informs us this show is “based on the Danish series WandaVision.” But soon, Agatha breaks out of that spell, itself seemingly an aftereffect of Wanda’s magic (she went power mad and then died in Multiverse of Madness, by the way), and then launches into a quest to restore her powers with the help of a teen boy ( Heartstopper ’s Joe Locke in Limited Too mode), a coven of other witches who are outcasts (and beloved character actresses) in their own right, and a sinister rival witch played by Aubrey Plaza. The newly formed crew sets out along the “Witches’ Road,” a sort of pilgrimage on a celestial plane that grants your deepest desires, but only if you solve the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire– style tests along the way. These turn into excuses for Agatha to continue WandaVision ’s streak of genre send-ups: The first two, seen in the four episodes made available for critics, involve the woolen white-wine opulence of Nancy Meyersand Big Little Lies and the shaggy ’70s vibe of a bickering, Fleetwood Mac-ian rock troupe.
