This series has a few fatal flaws, but chief among them is the fact that this series is no different than any modern Netflix series aimed at teens: angsty unrealistic depictions of being a teenager, random bore romantic subplot, catty girl fights, etc. The fact that it's Wednesday Addams becomes background noise once the drama starts.

Wednesday herself is depicted here like so many Aubrey Plaza wannabes, and has no real personality other than "I'm a goth!" Great.

The worst of the worst however has to be the other main members of the Addams clan, Morticia and Gomez. In what is supposed to be a constant tongue-in-cheek flirtatious relationship is completely annihilated by the fact that Catherine Zeta-Jones wouldn't be in a romantic relationship with Luis Guzman, ever. My ability to suspend disbelief was impossible watching those 2 on screen.

It's not just physical, either. Luis plays Gomez's dialogue...very strangely. Like a raspy whisper. I do not understand this choice. Any time those 2 are on screen I lose all interest in watching.

The main storyline isn't compelling enough for me to stay. Yet another IP mined by Netflix for nostalgia yet they then completely ignore the nostalgic bits that made it popular in the first place. What's the point? There is none. Like this series.
