Based on the Danish series 'WandaVisdysen'
A game cast and musical treats guide the "WandaVision" spinoff through a clunky start, but "Agatha" is yet another Marvel series satisfied to tease what's coming rather than conjure purpose in the present.

Part "White Lotus," part "Big Little Lies," and wholly forgettable, Jenna Lamia's six-episode adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand's 2018 beach-read captures the enviable summer vibes of a wedding weekend on the Nantucket waterfront, but it can't wring any suspense or substance out of its starry cast.
