This show has very little to do with the original Addams family show or the movies from the 90s. I don't know whose Wednesday this is, but I don't recognize her mannerisms, actions, nor aesthetic.

The beauty of the Addams Family was that it was an eccentric family living in the normal world. So choosing to place her in a school for outcasts defeats the whole point. What was anyone thinking while making this?

Love Jenna Ortega as an actress, but her face is too conventionally beautiful to be Wednesday. They should have casted someone with a quirkier look and essence. She relied on these Gen-Z esque quips to show how eccentric and cold she is. Television and movies seem to have lost the art of "show, don't tell."

Catherine Zeta Jones and Luis Guzman were so unsexy, I don't recognize them as Morticia and Gomez. No chemistry.

What's with the teen romance being so prominent here? In Addams Family Values, Wednesday and the outcast boy like each other at the end, but it was more organic, not shoved down our throats from the beginning.

However, aside from this baffling portrayal of Wednesday and the family, it is a well made show. I was able to finish watching the series. So if you like teen shows of the 2010s and beyond, you'll enjoy this. I do not like this category, so I personally hated this show.

Also, it was extremely predictable. Good luck!
