Synopsis
Enchanted Agatha Harkness regains her freedom thanks to the help of a teenager. Intrigued by his request, she boards the Witches' Travel ordeals to regain her powers and discover the teenage girl’s motivation. Stars Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Debra Jo Rupp and Ali Ann, along with host Jac Schaeffer and executive producer Mary Livanos, share how they prepared for the Marvel show.
The set was previously used for Wandavision
The ranch, before the neighborhood was torn down. Agatha lives in the house used in the TV series Bewitched (1964). Referenced in WatchMojo: Top 10 Most Shocking Disney Plus Day Reveals (2021).
As the cast list shrinks, the episodes improve significantly
The series as a whole has a slightly lower rating at the time of this writing than it really deserves, although it’s understandable – it takes a while to really set up a series that’s completely magic-oriented and has a new cast of characters. The result is a little strange, considering what the show is for: throwing balloons and then popping them. The series focuses best on the stories of individual characters; it’s in the more personal moments where the writing really starts to shine.
Overall a solid 8/10
The result is that, while the first few episodes feel like they need a minute to ‘get going’, they’re still ' good' but the show actually gets pretty good once it gets going. It’s not quite as impressive as Wandavision, but (to my surprise) it’s not a disappointing successor either. Written from episode 7..
