I was a kid when Christina Richi made the Wednesday role so iconic, so it's not crazy to think this show might be aimed at people my age, but it feels mostly like a show aimed at teens. Nothing wrong with that at all, but I'm not a teenager so what can I say, it feels a bit too much like Harry Potter meets Hanna Montana.

I get why the show is getting good ratings though, as the casting is great. The acting is pretty strong for the most part, if a bit simplistic and cartoonish as well but that's the style they were going for as far as I can tell.

After reading some of the more critical reviews, I can definitely understand why people who are more familiar with the source material are disappointed. I didn't personally watch the original show much so it doesn't bother me that this new show is so different, but when I read the more critical reviews describing the older show, it sounds like a way better concept.

All and all, a well-made show that aims a bit too low in terms of target audience age for me. The uninspired changes to the original concept are propped up by good casting a stylish atmosphere, but the essence of this show feels pretty shallow overall.
