2 new Comic-based shows premiered this week - Raptured - 09-20-2024
week of Sept 15 2024
Pengiun (on MAX)
First episode was baically a mini-movie and corresponds to the universe/timeline established in The Batman, Matt Reeves' reboot. It features Colin Ferell as Oswald, same amazing makeup and even driving the same Maserati.
Now, I watched The Batman last year and enjoyed it and penned it to hopefully a turnaround of DC utter disasters at trying to make a viable series like Marvel's MCU. This new show is a solid companion and I'm really looking forward to more episides (no spoilers).
Agatha All Along (Disney+)
Marvel comics has another hit show it seems. Agatha Harkenss known from the Wandavision universe follows a powerless witch (Kathryn Hahn) as she goes on a mission to reclaim her power and escape the world of Westview.
It's funny, witty but as with all things Disney, a bit woke (my opinion). Hahn has been one of my favorite actors for awhile and she nails this role. There's a bit of sharp humor aka Deadpool (without the profanity) that has me wanting to watch more.
I don't know what role this plays in any MCU timeline so hopefully someone who's familiar with the comics can elaborate but again, this one seems like a winner.

I"m planning on Agatha All Along to be my next watch. Glad to hear you think its a winner. I'm currently watching Veep on Max. An older show but I never caught it when it was new. It just wasn't my typical genre. I'm more of a horror and supernatural girl. But I'm really enjoying it and of course there's a little element of life imitating art to it given our current political situation... But I digress. I'll check back in after I've watched Agatha and add my opinion.
