Didn't see a thread on this. Gonna watch it tonight. I'll report back.

I'll stick to, Hocus Pocus…

First episode was ok. I'll give it a chance til I get bored.

I follow threads like this waiting for someone to give me a reason to start Disney + back up.

Disney+ is terrible. It's what, like two new episodes of content a week, and then a new movie every month or so?


They just need to rip the bandaid and package it in with Hulu. Get rid of the separation entirely.

problem is they still haven't technically paid for all of Hulu yet….

Through ep 2 and it's actually pretty entertaining, not the best thing ever but a fun Halloween watch.

I plan to check it out since I enjoyed her character so much in WandaVision, but I'm concerned from the previews that they made this way too serious and cut out the awkward humor that Katherine Hahn is so good at delivering.

Definitely not the case.

Good to hear. Hoping to start it this weekend.

I liked WandaVision.

I thought the first episode of this one was okay but didn't feel compelled to start the next one.

Nothing really happens in the first episode. Things get going in the second.

Fun two episodes.

Did a great job introducing characters. Also setting up the story and mood of the show going forward.

I think it spent to much time on the detective fantasy and could have done more for new viewers on what the Darkhold is and what Wanda did in Wandavision.

The Witches Road song is stuck in my head. Written by the same couple that did the Frozen, Coco, and Wandavision music.

Pure guess: the kid helping Agatha is a gender swapped version of Aubrey Plaza.

just finished the first 2 episodes...and so far so good.

episode 1 was very good. The continuity from WandaVision and Dr. Strange 2 was well done. Aubrey Plaza is terrific. Not convinced that Wanda or the Darkhold is really gone. Good to see the townsfolk from Westview again.

the production, script, and acting seem a notch or two above recent Disney+ and MCU offerings. (haven't seen DP-Wolverine yet)

episode 2 was good. A little slower paced because the coven had to be introduced and gathered. The ballad to Witches Road was excellent.

as referenced above...the first big mystery is the identity of Joe Locke's character. Also the significance of the name of the author of the Darkhold

My wife and I watched Wandavision when we'd just started dating, so we're tuning in for this one.

First episode was ok. Second episode pulled us in much more. We're curious to see where it goes. I was not expecting Mrs Hart to be a main character here.

I wonder who the guy that spotted her in the library was… the one who said "every copy was burned," or something like that. I don't think it was the kid. So some third magic wielder who was able to enter her illusion? Maybe one of the wizards from Dr Strange's group?

#ItsMephisto!

I've only watched episode 1 so far but I actually liked it. My wife (who doesn't watch marvel stuff) was even excited to watch this one and she's on board.

Excited to see the rest.

love it when idiot toy manufacturers spoil the identity of characters.

just a heads up.

Is this the first actual mention of Mephisto in the MCU?

I really enjoyed the first two, gonna watch next two tomorrow.

Enjoyed episode 1 and 2

3 may have lost me. Pretty awful. Will give it another episode, but it was not entertaining

Episode 3 was fine.

But the problem is that you can't have "just fine" episodes when you only have 8 episodes total. Every episode has to be great when you only have 8. If you want to create "just fine" episodes, then you need to have ~20 episodes.

Watching this with the wife - didn't realize it was only going to be 8 episodes

so three more "tests" then for episodes 4-6 and some type of payoff in episodes 7-8?

I thought there was going to be 9 episodes total?

Better then the last episode. It was good to get to know the characters better, I think that's why it was better.

The jam session was fun

Was the curse beat supposed to look like bad 70s movie special effects to match the genre of the house? Or was that the show's budget?

The moment around the campfire was their version of the guys trading wounds on the Orca in Jaws.
