It helps when the actors are clearly having fun with the role and not taking themselves too seriously. It lowers the expectations and lets the audience have fun, as well.

Agatha becoming a hit against all odds is such a beautiful sight to see.

I’m glad Disney has finally remembered they actually know how to make network-tier television. They’ve done it for decades!

> “I can tell you it’s our **least expensive show**, and I think that was by design,” Winderbaum said in an interview with Variety. “We are looking to make these shows for a responsible cost. Frankly, it gives us a little bit more freedom creatively when we can bring them in at a reasonable budget. Like [“Agatha All Along”], for example, the show has minimal CG, way less than we’ve ever done before. It’s mostly practical effects, and I think you can feel it in the show.”
> Winderbaum says that **the more budget-conscious approach “certainly holds true with ‘Daredevil’ and our future slate as we look down the pike at ’26 and ’27.** That’s certainly the goal.”

I was saying this to someone the other day, Marvel TV shows do a lot better when they let themselves embrace their comic book roots like this show rather than they to be more realistic like Secret Invasion.

Sheesh. Where are these budgets coming from! Article states some Disney shows costing 100m+, like The Acolyte, and just can’t fathom what this budget could even be spent on.
Even the lowest cost show, Echo, was 40m apparently. Shocking how a budget that would let you live work-free forever is their lowest.
