The consensus is that this show is just great, but I am a contrarian here. I find the Wednesday character's deadpan and serious portrayal uninteresting, annoying and humorless. The expected Addams Family campiness and their winking and being in on the joke about their over-the-top gruesomeness is completely absent - except when the other family members themselves show up. The consistently strange thing is that the students at the school for outcasts who are werewolves, sirens, ghouls and the like seem more 'normal' and freaked out by the supernatural than the actual normal folks in the neighboring town. The overall writing and overarching story line is generally pretty good but I for the most part can't stand Wednesday's on-screen presence which kind of makes watching this show a chore rather than a pleasure for me.
