#AgathaAllAlong was some of the best TV I've seen in a long while. Better than it had any business being. Incredible writing.

Episode 7 was phenomenal. Outstanding acting, writing, and execution.
@TomeReader OMG YES YES YES and more YES. MINDBLOWINGLY good. Seriously ... I wish most American TV was written within an inch of its life like this and had casts to pull it off. I would watch more if it was ❤️ I think Agatha gets better as it goes along but honestly 7 ... just .... wow
I was shocked by its quality, too. The interwoven writing showed that they conceived of the show holistically (even more so when you get to the ending), which is such a rare treat from a writing team these days. But it also definitely benefitted from its actors: the performances of a few in particular were stunning and necessary for the whole to work. Really great outing.
That's the thing, though. Unlike other Marvel outings, this was a fairly standalone series. It helped to know Wandavision, but Marvel usually can't help but introduce a whole ton of throwaway superhero cameos, & yet this time... it didn't! It just let this unexplored body of witchlore play out in a self-contained storyline (won't spoil the ending) that relied on tightly nested scripting, great actors, and maybe the best song in the whole universe.
