REVIEW: Agatha All Along – Season 1, Episode 9, “Maiden Mother Crone”
“Maiden Mother Crone,” the (hopefully) series finale of Agatha All Along, is an odd duck. It’s split into two distinct halves, and while the first one is easily the best the show has been, the second is little more than a coda, a half-assed wrap-up that makes you wonder what the point of the s...

If you run out of Ambien, “Follow Me My Friend/To Glory at the End” can serve as a possibly superior substitute. The penultimate episode of Agatha All Along is one long snore, a seemingly interminable forty minutes or so that brings Agatha’s journey to an end… or does it? Probably not, beca...

Read MoreREVIEW: Agatha All Along – Season 1, Episode 7, “Death’s Hand in Mine”
Agatha All Along is sputtering towards its finale (which is next week, doubled up with the penultimate episode), and “Death’s Hand in Mine” is another tedious, confusing episode that almost dares you to pay attention to it as it does everything it can to bore you. This is Patti LuPone’s sho...
