Tarot Time

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+.
