The series is set after the events of WandaVision, where Agatha Harkness recruits some unlikely allies on her quest to regain her former powers.
Episode 1 – it started off weirdly set up more like true crime story then what it was supposed to be but then as it continued everything felt wrong or misplaced like you were losing grip on reality with Agatha. Time seemed to skip over itself as the world shifted. Overall a great episode filled with mystery and hidden hints of whats to come. I really enjoyed how things got more tense and scary as it got towards the end.
Episode 2 – Agatha manages to escape her reality prison made by Wanda and we confirm that Wanda is dead and all the dark holds were destroyed and her powers were fully taken away from her. Now Agatha has the Salem 7 after her now that she’s free and vulnerable to attack. She is accompanied by a boy she calls teen because he has a protection rune or curse that prevents him from telling any information about himself to anyone. He and Agatha drive around to assemble a coven bringing back some old faces along with exciting new characters to meet and get to know as they attempt the witches road. Once they all meet up theres a missing earth witch that Agatha seems to really not want to be apart of the coven so she takes Sharon a normal person down to the witches road with the others. I really enjoyed their vocals and the music that came with the ballad of the witches road they all sounded amazing singing together. I kept getting jump scared by the horrifying creatures trying to break into Agatha’s house during the song I assume they are the Salem 7 there to attack Agatha now that she’s powerless it was terrifying to watch Teen scream and fight for his life as the creatures crawled and smashed through the walls and doors.
Episode 3 – we finally get to see the first trail of the witches road but things seem to go bad from the start when Sharon ran off the road to try and escape since Sharon isn’t a real witch she got sucked into the ground but was saved by the other witches before she could sink to her death and i don’t think they were supposed to bring Teen with them since its a series of trials for the coven. Then I was confused with the other witches as a large luxury house appeared on the road then all of their outfits and hairstyles changed to fit them in with the theme of the house, they could not exit the house since all the door nobs disappeared, they find a riddle they needed to solve once they figured out it was wine they all drank it except for teen since he was underage and not with the coven and Agatha at first didn’t drink it knowing it was poisoned but was eventually forced to drink it so they could all complete the trial as they all scattered to collect the ingredients to make the antidote we get glimpse of what each witch fears inside their hallucinations were warnings of what was to come like the equivalent of receiving the death card in a tarot card deck not a good sign in the slightest. In the end they survive the first trial all except for Sharon she was dead i assumed the poison had killed her first before they completed the poison since she drank the most poison and it all ends on a huge cliff hanger making me excited for the next episodes to come for this season its not complete but I’m very excited to see whats to come I would 1000% recommend this show its very entertaining and nerve racking even with only three episodes available out of the 4 episodes to come for this season. I’m very happy with how everything is set up and can’t wait for more of this season!!!
