Summary

When the name Baba Yaga is first thrown out in Kat Sandler’s series, “Yaga,” the reaction is what you’d expect from any thirty-something guy in the year 2026: “Wait, the one from ‘John Wick’ ?” The response doubles as an acknowledgement of and explanation for a title that, on its own, sounds weirdly incomplete: “Oh, OK: They couldn’t call it ‘Baba Yaga’ because then everyone would think it’s a ‘John Wick’ show. So it’s just called, ‘Yaga.’ Because it’s actually about witches.”
