I wanted to love this so badly. Jenna Ortega was amazing as Wednesday!!! I could tell she put a lot of work into this character. The series as a whole felt more like a gothic Nancy Drew. The story line was very predictable, as well as the ending. Most of the supporting characters gave off Disney like qualities...especially in the acting. "Thing" had more charisma than those with actual speaking roles. It seemed like most of the effort was put into building this version of Wednesday, and the rest; the storyline, the plot, the supporting characters were all thrown in as an afterthought. I had no expectations going into this series, but Wednesday-the teenage detective was the last thing I imagined.
