Ortega gives a brilliant performance and so do the rest of the cast but that's not enough to convince me this was more than a usual modern coming-of age teen series. The murder mystery concept is surely intriguing but the script simply lacks of creativity. I noticed a lot ( and i mean A LOT ) of similarities with other franchises, mainly The Harry Potter movies and the X-Men series. You know , different, dropout kind of teens trying to create a society of their own while some evil force wants to kill them all ... The romance in the series is nothing more than the typical disney-type (platonic relationships between teens that find it difficult to express their feelings) Appart from that it was honestly decent. The characters (especially Wednesday) all had good moments throughout the series and some fun lines. The series definitely didn't lack of humour and that made it fun to watch A solid 5/10 i believe is pretty representative but that doesn't mean it couldn't be 6,7, or 8 as well. I think it depends on your expectations and personal preferences.

All in all , Judging it as a teen mystery-drama it was pretty good but it definitely is not the greatest tv-series out there.
