Tarot Time

[setsuled]

Last night's Agatha All Along was good and felt very much like a TV show. That's been a particular asset of this show, er, all along, actually. It's the first one to use the new Marvel Television logo and it seems they're making good on their new strategy to build these series more like television series than like movies.

I wondered why Patti LuPone, with her famous ego, took what was essentially a fifth string role in an ensemble but last night made it clear she was kind of front and centre all . . . er, all along.

It was a pretty cool set up and pay-off and certainly gave her a memorable send-off. I liked how Tarot was woven into it and how it seemed like the show's writers genuinely understood Tarot. The witch cosplay was nice and Agatha was eerily perfect as the Wicked Witch of the West.

Agatha All Along is available on Disney+.

Definitely the highlight of the season.

I just caught up on Agatha yesterday and also feel that the episode was a payoff. Frankly, I'd been bored by the first three episodes but the last one was unexpected and this one also developed in a way I didn't foresee. I'm now very curious about where things will end up.

From the way that the out of character moments were consistent for Lilia, I hoped that we would get an episode from her perspective that explained them. I really enjoyed this episode. :D
