#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.
@MLClark @TomeReader I think when American television realizes the benefit of writing things into small components and ENDING THEM ... they end up creating stuff that is good BECAUSE its contained in 10 episodes or less. Writing is key when things are short. But yes ... acting is always major and you need to nail the casting too. It was clearly written with no just intent but love for the characters. Such a wonderful surprise. I knew it would be good but I didn't know it would floor me. ❤️
YES.
One other note, that's not just for Agatha but was present in it, too: creators are getting more comfortable with this format, so they will more fearlessly let episodes range in length to match the story. Unbound by the dictates of syndicated television, this is absolutely the correct choice: let each "chapter" run only as long as necessary to tell its part of the story well, and the story as a whole will always be better for it. ♥️
