When a new series of tragedies strike the city of Westview, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power when a suspicious goth teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they're missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road.
Kathryn Hahn delivers an absolutely stellar performance. She’s eccentric yet full of surprises. Although each episode features a set cast, the ever changing scenery and costumes make for a visually interesting experience. Honestly, I preferred the crime drama vibes of the first episode over the later fantastical elements, as Hahn seems perfect for that hard-edged, no-nonsense detective role.
The witchcraft theme is certainly intriguing, but the production quality here feels painfully cheap. By the third episode, there's still no magic on display, with the excuse being that everyone lost their powers and must reclaim them through the Witches' Road. While the plot explanation works, I’m just not interested in a witch series without magical effects.
