It’s time for the series we’ve all been waiting for. Agatha All Along has premiered on Disney+, and this is not a series you’ll want to skip out on.

The big question for parents is whether they can watch a show with the kids around. Agatha All Along is on Disney+ and it’s a Marvel series, so that should suggest that it’s child-friendly, right? Well, we all know that there are the odd shows and movies out there that aren’t suitable for kids.

Agatha All Along doesn’t feel like a Marvel series. It’s more of a witchy fantasy series, so if you have kids who love the likes of Supernatural and Charmed, they’re likely to want to watch. Here’s our guide to see if it’s suitable.

Agatha All Along immediately earns its TV-14 age rating

The series is officially rated TV-14, and it earns that rating from the beginning. We start with Agatha, who is known as Agnes in this world, investigating the murder of someone. Of course, Agnes is trapped in a world that Wanda put her in, and the first episode is all about waking her up from this state.

Sex & nudity: The first episode does include a very naked Kathryn Hahn. This would suggest that it isn’t a series suitable for kids, but you don’t actually see anything. Her hair covers her top half, and when she is frontal, the camera is completely blurred with the focus on another character in the shot. This is tastefully done, which makes sense considering Hahn was behind the decision for this.

Other than that, there isn’t much in the way of sex and nudity in the first two episodes. It’s focused on the witches and Agatha getting her life back.

Violence & gore: The dead body that is on screen involves someone lying on facedown with a hood over their head. The only part of the skin that is visible is burn marks on the fingertips. The focus of this is to offer clues as to how Agatha is going to break out of the spell.

There is a fight scene between Agatha and another witch. This does include a knife that scratches Agatha’s chest, but the violence and gore are gratuitous. If you’re happy with the level of violence in Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the level of violence in Agatha All Along will be fine. It’s standard for a Marvel movie or show.

Language: The language is mild. There are a few uses of “damn” and “hell,” and other similar words, but that’s it. The F-bomb is not dropped. The B-word is the one that is used the most, but this is what you would expect based on the Agatha we met in WandaVision.

Alcohol & drugs: There is a verbal reference of “going high,” which one character declines because she doesn’t do drugs. However, this line has nothing to do with doing drugs. There are a few other references to drugs or being high, but at no point are drugs shown on the screen.

There may be some of this to come, but probably on a witchy level. We’re talking potions and elixirs, for example. This would make sense based on the storyline of the series.

Overall verdict: Who is Agatha All Along suitable for?

If your children get scared easily, this probably isn’t a series for them. There are some dark moments toward the end of the second episode. Some of the scenes are on the scary side. However, overall, this series is a TV-14 show. It’s great for teenagers, especially those who love this genre. Younger children could enjoy it, but I’d watch with them.
