First Two Episodes I found to be Funnier than expected


Kathryn Hahn doe s a fantastic job playing Agatha and she shifts from being multiple characters effortlessly but always being deliberately manipulative and comically menacing. She won't win an Emmy for her recurring role here, but she should have another nomination in the bag but this time as the Lead Actress.

Portraying a female version of the grizzled but put upon detective was TOO funny. The audience knows from the start that she's nuts but watching the other residents Cosplay along with Agnes is so well done.

Agreed! I love the way she can shift in and out of those personalities… she’s always been one of my favorite actresses. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of this series develops.

After the beginning of the first episode, I was a bit worried that they were going to do that with all 9 episodes. I mean Kathryn Hahn could definitely handle that but I wanted more of a story. So I am glad that they didn't go in that direction. What is fun about Agatha is that most villains are played up as just being menacing and cruel but she can be clutzy, daffy and funny, while still being capable of slitting your throat without blinking.
