This feels nothing like the Addams Family. It lacks whimsy. The family is at odds. They never were. It's like Riverdale, but some Addams family characters dumped in. This could have just been it's own show without a tie in to a preexisting show, but little gets greenlit without it being linked to a past success. I do appreciate that people are getting something out of it. I can see how this would appeal to the younger generation and I work with a kid who feels less alone and more seen because of the show. It's well filmed. The acting is good. I dont think I can watch the entire run. It's just not for me.
