Agatha All Along Episodes 1-4 Review: A Woefully Weak Start By In 2021, Disney+ started its long series of Marvel Cinematic Universe content with WandVision, a fun show exploring many television sitcom eras.

After Wanda sentences her to TV prison, we catch up with Agatha, who is now stuck in a true crime police procedural thriller. But she soon realizes that nothing is as it seems. The first four episodes of Agatha All Along seem to be a precursor for a lackluster series.
