I am a bit confused why this show is this high, the only plausible explanation I could come up with is that the bar this year was so incredibly low this show shines in comparison. Or I'm simply too old as I can imagine I would have enjoyed it way better if I was 14 or something. I am a bit tired that I have to shut down my brain completely to enjoy things thanks to horrible writing.

With little changes this could have been made a way better show: 1. It has literally nothing common with the original Adams Family neither in spirit or characters besides the names.

2. Many of the cast is simply utterly boring, uninteresting and do nothing for the story. It could have been simply avoided if multiple characters would have been moulded into fewer, but due to this more complex ones. Or left out completely.

3. I know most shows are made for "modern audiences" and in spirit I agree, but... I would have left Wednesday either asexual or at the very least her suitors could have been at least a tiny bit competent and a bit more masculine in general. My wife pointed it out to me that if Wednesday was played by a male, the barista and the painter guy would have been played by females with the exact same lines and manner it would have made a lot more sense. After imagining an watching it with this perspective I had to 100% agree. I am assuming the writers could not write male roles.

4. I know in the first point I already raised it as a concern that the original IP was not really used in any manner, but this iteration of Gomez and Morticia was pretty horrible especially if I compare it to the wholesome original.

5. The plot did not really do anything smart most of the story was outright dumb and the visions invalidated any effort in the entire movie. Everything was falling into Wednesday's lap literally.

6. Wednesday's character did have some flaws that was called out on, but she was a bit too Mary Sue still. I am not sure why did they have to include so many things into the character. She is smart, bilingual, plays an instrument, brave, crafty and have the goth thing too with vision superpowers. Why does she have to be a character who stands up against bullying, karate chops multiple twice her size guys, repairs coffee machines and so on. It is again the typical case when they cram everything in... Most of the fight scenes operate with fast cuts at least so it is not actually shown how stupid it is. Why does a mystery/horror show need these???

7. They went to an academy where we have literally no idea what do they do. I can't be the only one wondering what the hell they are doing there. They go to a single class about botany with a single teacher and they have a headmaster. Oh and they fence I guess and there was a teacher there too probably... Why was this added as a setting?

8. They named l supernatural creatures "outcasts" and yet they are literally not casted out. They fit into both society and form perfectly functional social groups too. A very cringe choice of word.

Just to say some positive things: 1. The cinematography is great 2. The costumes are very good 3. The animations are believable and good for a show like this 4. I think the actors did a very good job too 5. The story is generally somewhat interesting (despite the horrible writing)
