Really disappointed at how far removed from the tone of the Addams Family this adaptation is. Far too mean spirited and plain dull at times. Where the early 90s movies had the right mix of the warmth and tongue-in-cheek macabre humor and fit nicely with the original Charles Adams cartoons and 60s sitcom, this series is less Adams Family oriented and more of an uninspired run of the mill mix of rehashed elements from a certain other movie franchise and a couple of other recent popular tv shows.

The production values are very good, and Jenna Ortega looks terrific, but in a schedule filled with somber and depressing shows, this is simply yet another one that can be added to the list.
