I didn’t expect Agatha All Along, a spinoff about the 208th most memorable character in the Marvel canon, to draw many viewers, even if it was good. But it also seems like the reviews aren’t that great, as critics are scoring it below the audience rating so far.

Agatha All Along currently sits at a 67% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 50+ reviews. Yes, that’s a “new” score, but in the grand scheme of Marvel TV, it’s the second-worst reviewed show in MCU history (not counting the now-canon Daredevil/Defenders Netflix and pre-Disney content plus stuff like Agents of Shield).

The audience scores are slightly higher, but it’s still the fourth worst. Here’s the full list so you can see what this looks like:

1. Ms. Marvel – 98% Critics, 80% Audience
2. WandaVision – 92% critics, 87% audience
3. Hawkeye – 92% critics, 88% audience
4. Loki – 87% critics, 88% audience
5. Moon Knight – 86% critics, 89% audience
6. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – 85% critics, 81% audience
7. She-Hulk – 79% critics, 32% audience
8. Echo – 70% critics, 61% audience
9. Agatha All Along – 67% critics, 77% audience
10. Secret Invasion – 52% critics, 44% audience

I’ve said for a while now that I think there’s a level of critical exhaustion with the MCU, because if you look at the long arc of things, the longer it goes on, the worse the scores get. But unlike some movies, I think most of the lower-scoring shows here are…deserved. Secret Invasion is the worst thing the MCU has ever produced and that score should be lower. Echo was bad. I like She-Hulk, but it loses a lot of points for subpar VFX.

So, Agatha All Along? Hard to say. I liked the first two episodes, though critics have seen more (I don’t think the whole thing yet?). I don’t think we’ll know the full extent of how the series plays out until we get to the end, and if there’s a crazy MCU moment in there like Wanda’s resurrection, that could take it to a whole new level (no spoilers, it just seems like that’s the way it’s going). My gamble is that it doesn’t deserve to be this low, but I can’t say for sure this early. But I think this debut is at least promising. Again, this isn’t a bad score in itself.

We’ll find out more next week, and another seven weeks to be exact. The performance of this show doesn’t really matter since it’s a nine-episode miniseries with no season 2, but I’m sure Disney would like more people to watch and like it than not.
