It’s both a tribute to the witches that came before her, as seen in the cameos in the closing credits, that leans into the Hocus Pocus camp joy of it all. All while dismantling the tropes of the genre – and of witches in general - as Rio says Agatha will be “burned, drowned or hanged” to which she dryly quips: “Are there no new options?”

Hahn is somehow more mesmerising on her second outing, after her standout performance in WandaVision. Every line delivery is bewitching, rich with charisma, humour and a devilish attraction as a cantankerous witch who is set on reclaiming her power and reputation as “the baddest bitch” on the continent.

Marvel also hasn’t shied away from leaning into the queerness of this witch drama, but relished in the palpable sexual tension between Rio and Agatha, as she licks away the wound she just inflicted on Agatha’s hand and says: “My heart is black and it beats for you.”

Throw in some memorable one-liners such as Agatha’s suggestion to share a jade egg and call themselves the “sisterhood of the travelling kegels” or wellness witch Jen’s salty welcome (“How are you? Awful?”) and it’s delightfully sarcastic entertainment.

Agatha All Along is the empowering female-heavy drama Marvel has been missing and the queer witch series of all our dreams. Camp, striking and sometimes even as scary as a straight-up horror film, it’s an addictive concoction that makes it perfect pre-Halloween viewing.

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are available to stream on Disney+ now.
