I'll start by saying I don't think this show was bad. But it wasn't quite good either. I have not watched the Original Addams family show so I can not speak for the OG show fandom. But I can tell you as a potterhead they really took way too much out of Harry Potter. School divided into 4 groups, sirens, werewolfs, shapeshifters, the whole scene of the rowing competition, the creepy store that reminded me of Draco's store from the 6th movie, statues moving and the secret passages. I can keep going but really they overdid it with the Harry Potter "references". Almost felt like a copycat show.

Second, I would like to point out the characters made no sense and they were insufferable. Wednesday's acting was good but her actions made no sense. The blond girl was pretty much just used as a plot device at the end and her character was killed when she "wolfed out" because she pretty much did what everyone expected her to. The villains were very predictable.

Bianca was the only savable character from the bunch as I think they developed her decently.

Also, it wasn't clear to me which demographics this was targeted to. It seemed a teens, children, and adults show all at once. But somehow it wasn't appropriate for any.

I'd say this show is nice to pass the time. Good effects kinda predictable story and good casting but don't expect good characters and story out of this.
